 Running into a StonewallE.Horowitz (?) vs. Amateur (?) Annotated by tomwhufc (1200): This is a notable game of the 'Stonewall Attack' where where white sets up his desired 'Stonewall' pattern in impeccable form. Without depending on any major blunders on black's part, the game develops into a smahing attack on black's castled king orchestrated by Horowitz. More common is 1.e4 Black replies symetrically also staking a claim for… |

Through the eyes of a serial sacker lamacuk (1680) vs. oinegue (1666) Annotated by lamacuk (1679): This game is by no means perfect with mistakes from both sides. If you like sacks then there's plenty of them here. This has to go down as one of the most enjoyable games i've played just because of the way it was won. It just shows that some sacks are sound and others are just plain lucky. I know nothing of the Silician and don't like playing… |

Amateur Dragon Series #9 heinzkat (2064) vs. scottyad (1937) Annotated by scottyad (1200): I've been holding off on this one, but might as well give it a go. Black's attack never really gets off the ground (as he goes in for a dubious variation on the 20th move) and the position flirts with disaster for a long time and eventually he solves his immediate problems at the cost of simplifying into an excruciating endgame. White's handling… |
