Annotated by trixstermtl (1513): good morning (7 am when i annotated this :D). This is an irregular annotation for me as i have been playing black about 3:1 versus playing as white. i like a classic e4 opening being more a maverick player with the nimzowitcsh defense as black. my oponent replies with e5. this was the strongest opponent i was facing after an 8 month stop, and my rating had dropped to its floor. i like my tried … |

Annotated by archduke_piccolo (2332): It is remarkable the complications a game can reach in just a few moves. This one doesn't outlast 14 moves, but there is more to this miniature than straightforward short-range oversights. You'll see what i mean when you play this through. One of the first lessons we learn in the game of chess is to be aware - and beware - of the weakness at f7, if you're playing Black, and f2, if you're… |

Annotated by archduke_piccolo (2332): This, the third of the game I've selected from Charles Higgie's '2018 Commonwealth Games' Mini-T, was I think the most exciting - certainly the most dramatic. From a fairly even Bishop's Opening, White embarks upon a direct attack against the apparently under-defended Black King. Lacking defensive resources near at hand, Black perforce must counter-attack 'on the Other Wing'. Although the… |

Annotated by freddz123 (1959): Well, here we have another game one of my games. My second gameknot game with me playing as white, so once again a King Pawn opening. I decided in this annotation to liven things up a little, so have written each comment a little more, "descriptive", than previous annotations by me. In fact, I'd say this one is more like a story than an annotation although I have still annotated each move as a … |

Annotated by l-d-j (1747): In this game I got, in my opinion, my biggest chess achievement ever. It was played yesterday at my local club. Instead of the normal competition, our club had organized some activities to try and get some new members. One of the activities was a simultaneous exhibition by the strongest player at our club, an IM. Last year he had won on every single board (21 to 0), so we knew it would be a tough … |

Annotated by pelvitski (1353): Bishop's opening, berlin defense, in thematic tourney The position has now shifted into Petrov, Italian Two knights the most common move is exd5,
Yet, in two knight opening, f7 pawn sacrifice makes for interesting middle game, and since two opponets are evenly matched the advantage for adventure is on the white's side Black takes knight to avoid queen loss exd5
As a black, I would probably … |

Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): In this game we both make some errors in the opening, but the real lesson is to be learned in the quickness with which Black's attack on the kingside develops. The Bishops Opening is coming back in popularity, in fact, a recent book by GM John Emms features this system tied in with a quick f4 push. Probably the most sound response, hitting the e4 pawn and intending to clear the kingside for… |

Annotated by toni_the_man (1200): e4 is good choice, open debut when you want to play and win e5 is correct bishop on c4 is old idea but so what??? c6 looks not good and in my oppinion is waste of time but knight on f3 is not the best move now... d5 is absolute expectable e:d is just one if white doen't want to play only in defence in this game... b5 is in the first view active move but in deeply thought is bad waste of temp… |

Annotated by apastpawn (1200): This game was played here on GK to allow annotation and improvement. Sorry its not a classic game between too GMs. No need to vote as its not meant to be a thing of beauty and proses. Bishop's Opening Why not! Wanted to see what white would do and his true nature. Usually this is not a good idea due to 4....Nxe5 and pressure is exerted early on blacks achilles heel, the f7 square. Guess… |

Annotated by bwaa (1886): This game marks the first time my rating reached 1700 on GK! The game gets tricky very fast: my opponent, with two Bishops against my two Knights, unleashes a fearsome attack against my hard-to-defend King, while I abuse his weakened pawn structure to limit his attacking potential and set up an advantageous Rook-and-pawn endgame. Enjoy! The Bishop's Game. Not the most popular anymore, but… |

Annotated by jamie79 (1200): This was a blitz game that I played on Gameknot. It's short, but it has a good lesson inside it. Trying the Scholar's mate (4 move checkmate) I thought of this little defense 3 years ago (2010). Prevents the Queen from going to h5, and if the Queen goes to f3, she isn't threatening anything. ??? Maybe he missed the significance of my last move? Preparing to develop his bishop, protects the… |

Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): Hi everyone! Here's me in action against Coach Ion. I thought that I would try the Bishop's Opening against him and try and get a game like my evergreen Battle of the Wings against him. It didn't work out, however, and I ended up losing my 7th game on the bounce against him, aargh! - Joanne 2. Bc4 - the Bishop's Opening - gives a myriad of possibilities for both sides. Some beginners may… |

Annotated by black_cat_hamlet (1531): This was a game shown to me by Trafalgar teammate martindarcy, [also see my two annotated games against him - one loss and one draw] showing an interesting opening idea that he has been experimenting with. In the case of this team match, it works out spectacularly, resulting in White picking up a quick win
All standard opening stuff - Both sides have advanced their King's Pawns, White has… |

Annotated by stevetaylor (1726): A trade off between aggression and defence. The pin is broken but there is not any immediate pressure being placed against black's king side. Restricting Black's light square bishop and making the way clear for Nf3. Protecting the bishop's pawn and threatening an exchange which will double white pawns and thus weaken the King's pawn.
This is a questionable maneuver, the black… |

Annotated by acerbiter (1200): there is an unwritten rule (with almost no exceptions) to develop knights before bishops 12. ... Nxc2?! looks tempting with 13. Qxc2 Bf2 but after 14. Kd1 black loses a piece
(14. Kxf2? of course loses the queen) a total blunder, allows black to play 14. ... Nxc2 The worst place for the king, as he will be exposed to a crushing attack by black.
However 15.Kf1 loses… |

Annotated by fycorsia (1219): This is my first attempt at a public annotation. I'm still a novice player and this is a way for me to anylse my own games and thought process and also that of others. If this helps you understand something, that's great because it was educational to me. If there is something erroneous in this annotation that might confuse or lead people astray in their strategy, please comment about it.… |
