When youb are ahead in material by say more than 3 points then exchange into a winning endgame if you can and/or destroying the enemy kings defenders. "ionadowman (2036) on 02-Jan-08: Good plan. But it would be tempting just to play 29.Kg1, too. If Black tries 29...Rh8 (threatening mate) then 30.Qxf7#. But he also has this attractive possibility: 29...a5 (a "non-move" just to illustrate the idea) 30.Qxf7ch Rxf7 31.Rxf7ch Kh8 32.Rf8ch Kg7 33.R1f7ch Kg6 34.Rf6ch K-any 35.Rxh6 wins a rook and picks up the backward d-pawn into the bargain. If at move 32 Black interposes the knight, then 32...Ng8 33.Rxg8ch Kh7 34.Rf7ch Kxg8 35.Rf6ch Kg7 36.Rxh6 Kxh6 and his extra bishop and one-and-a-half pawns give White a winning game." | |||||

Jester's game is lost but he could atleast try and complicate the game a little instead of simplifying. | |||||

I don't annotated the rest of the game as the rest of the game is fairly pointless. I checkmate Jester in 12 moves.. This game illustrates the positive ways in which moving pieces (in this games case knights) to maneuvering squares on a journey to a good square is eg. my Nd2 to c4 and if it hadn't been exchanged later e3. And when i played Nf6 to to Nh4 to Nf5. The sqaures that it lands on in between it's target destinations are normally not very strong squares, these are the maneuvering or pivot points but the places they move to are normally quite effective outposts eg Nf5. Make sure thjough that the piece you are maneuvering doesn't get stuck on the passive pivot square where it can't affect the game. I think this game was fairly equal until Jester blundered with 21...Nxf5?? From there Jester's play went downhill. My first impression is that Jester is not very good at playing possitional chess, it tends to play passive chess. and when it is on the backfoot it doesn't defend well. It does however play well when attacking as it is very good at calculations and tactical combos. Although that isn't clear in this game, if you play a blitz with jester yourself this will become clear. I'll annotate my next game with Jester "The strongest pure java chess program" on ://www.ludochess.com/ here on GK. The battle of Man vs Machine has begun it's 1-0 to Man! I hope you enjoyed this game as much as I did playing it. I'm happy for positive and negative feedback aslong as its constructive criticism! and feel free to leave comments. One thing I would like you to do is before you rate this game please think honestly and think how I can improve on it and leave comments and PM me with them. Don't just give one and a half stars and not tell me why leave a comment or PM. Thanks Tom | |||||
