Hi everyone! About 48 hours after getting Freddied again I had a more pleasant surprise from Gameknot as I woke up this morning. I had set up two conditional moves, both of them led to my opponent copping Old Matey and my opponent had played into one of them. I may ask you, the Inquest Jury, to spot the other one and e-mail me the answer on a postcard. This is the Annotations Project Part 2 and my second victory with the white pieces. We start the action on move 8 where my opponent plays the virtually standard Kc6. | ||||

9. Bxg4 e5 |
9. ......... e5 - my opponent likes my move (I have played this twice as black and won one game with it) so he plays it! | ||||

10. Nf7 Qf6 11. Nxe5+ |
11. Nxe5+ - I somehow see this check as a little bit stronger than taking the rook on h8. At least I narrow the deficit to two material points. | ||||

14. d4 - a good time to play this line opener, especially with the absence of the e pawns! | ||||

|
16... Bxe5 17. dxe5+ |
17. dxd5+ - he trades off his dsb however and gives me a central and well supported passer - it is also check. This passer is gonna be a killer. | ||||

17... Kc7 |
17. ....... Kc7 - he hides his king but you will not believe this, his queen knight and his QR will not move at all. | ||||
