Annotated by ethansiegel (1986): Troop and I are teammates here on gameknot -- we've played a few games together and I usually get the better of him.

Annotated by capt_rook (1200): I dedicate this game to my brothers of the King Apostles team, and particular to Captain Big Paul...through the building of this new team, and his ongoing encouragement my chess skill has expanded 10 fold.

This is also a good move because he continues to develop his pieces...and he can move the knight to d4 to threaten my queen. I pose a… |

Annotated by sevenarts (1534): he opens the way i usually do so i naturally match nothing surprising defend the pawn and get the knight out the same we're mirroring each other fine for now there's a more daring move. no immediate attack but it does trap my queen till i can either get rid of that knight or castle, otherwise he'll have a king/rook forked check so i set up a sacrifice that complicates matters quite a bit, plenty … |
