Annotated by thereaper1 (1985): So I have recently found this amazing new lines against the Sicilian and have been eager to play it for the past couple of weeks. Fed up of not getting the chance to play the opening I approached one of my teachers who is one of the top players at my local chess club and asked him during my school chess club weather I could try a new opening with him. He said he was Happy to but before that we… |

Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): Hi everyone!
It has been quite a while since I have annotated a game, although I have been away on holiday for the best part of August and it has taken me a little while to get back into the swing of things. However, I am pleased to report a good win with the white pieces in the Master Mater's Annotation's Project Part 3. I will now give you the Gameknot Analysis link to enable you to… |

Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): Hi everyone1
It has been a long time since I annotated my last game. Ever since early June chess has taken a back seat for me as I have had to deal with the loss of a close friend to Secondary Lung Cancer. My friend, Rita received the death sentence in early June and passed away on 27.7.10. Her funeral was on August 17th. I still miss her even now and I am at the moment undergoing… |

Annotated by tag1153 (1700): My good friend Graeme and I are closing in on our 100th game against each other. I give blackbaron full credit for the game title:) Floyd, anyone????????? Graeme's head would spontaneously combust if he played anything other than 1. e4 against me. Lately, I've been exploring the Caro Kann. I'm quite sure he expected 1...d5:) Heading into Two Knight's territory, which is giving me fits as I learn … |

Annotated by elyhim (1200): No amount of knowledge of chess principles or rules can win games. Instead, what ends up happening is that we get overwlemed with the endless possiblities and how we always seem to find the lossing blunders. When I was a young child my first chess coach drilled into me that it is better to know a few things well than to know a little about everything. The other most valueable lesson I learned… |

Annotated by ecfchamps2002 (1200): This game was littered with blunders and errors. Fritz 8 analysis spit out nearly 2 pages of analysis and variations. I play the Caro-Kann, as I do about 90% of the time. It's the only defense I feel comfortable with and actually understand pretty well. Usually White's second move is d4, I don't know why he chose to move this pawn again. And now we've transposed back into the Advance Variation. … |

Annotated by sp2306 (2063): The Caro-Kann is my favourite defense. I believe this is the best response to White's slightly uncommon 2nd move. Dubious move, probably armed against the King Knight's development. 2.ed is the standard move. Continuing development. Another dubious move, weakening the Kingside. Instead of continuing the development with 4-g6, it is more important to immediately take advantage of White's weak… |

Annotated by rookie879 (1200): Hello all,welcome to the first annotation of the 3rd Annotation project. Here I am playing easy19 (Also referred to as Freddy) and beating him is anything but easy! So hang on and dive deep into the twilight...
Bobby Fischer said 1.e4 was "best by test" but is it really? According to the GK world database 1. Na3 has a 54% winning percentage and Black has not won a game!
so I had this… |

Annotated by punkusmartyrus (1200): Standard open-game Opening for white White pushs with intent of staking more space in the center, baring in mind the risk of over-extension. Continuing to uphold the center. black naturally aims to undermine it. white offers to exchange queens early in hopes of leaving the middle game to whomever is superior in thier minor piece placement . declined. attempting to claim more space … |

Annotated by just_some_guy (1176): i am sure on the name of this opening i bet someone will tell me it eventually but it was smooth sailing. i was goin for a king, bishops gambit my favorite set up but i was forced to do it solo. not the answer i wanted but not a burden either nothing big still i figur ill take a traditional king's gambit set up and adept it well i know that nc3 is not a good move here so i figure more pawn… |

Annotated by punkusmartyrus (1200): I mated my first 1968 I mated my first 1968 on Pogo, but I've gone on to win many blitz games against 18,19, & even 2000's here at GK on Blitz brain. Which goes to show that chess players skilled at Correspondence chess aren't necessarily as skilled at Blitz chess! pre-empting the Bg4 pin, which is ok in my book since black has no developed pieces yet. Attacking while developing is almost… |

Annotated by gazdvez (1200): I've played often the Caro-Kann. a6 could be better before this move. White attacks and have time for developing, as black cannot breath. White makes it easier for black. The change of attacking figures is worse, then developing. Without the white bishop I try to defence the white squares, make place for the kingside developing. I was oversee this, but not so bad, because I wasnot … |
