Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): Hi everyone!
A couple of days ago I finished this game with another buddy of mine, Graham, who took part in the Annotations Project Part 2. Graham is a Class C 1400+ player whose play is reminiscent of that of The Dentist. He can play well for some parts of the game and has offered up a few good suggestions in the chat in our latest game. Alas, one slip up in the opening for Graham cost… |

Annotated by bakerbaker (1200): My game with this 80-year old guy is an excellent example of how a simple lead in development can totally annihilate your opponent's king. In double king pawn positions, and other open games, development is the most important thing. Instead of playing Nf3 like normal, I decided to see if this old guy knew the importance of development, by playing this risky opening that can crush someone (like… |

Danish Gambit
Game info on preceding page This is the way I play into the Goring Gambit ("semi-Danish") or Scotch Gambit. It offers BL the option to try 3...c5 here, which will leave a large hole at d5 to exploit after 4.c3.
Also possible there is 4.Bc4 which gets complex tho after 4....b5!? 5.Bd5 Nc6 etc. not 5.Bxb5?? or Qa5… |

Annotated by cheetah08 (1200): This game starts out as a center game where black refuses to "win" a pawn. The game transposes back into normal italian game lines(c3) and black claims early equality. This game shows how knowing opening transpostions can be very helpful with earning equality as black. The center game. exd4 is pratically forced. An interesting idea, as after 3.c5 4.c3 4.dxc3 5.Nxc3 white has now sacrificed… |

Black has two options now. Save the pawn. Don't save the pawn.
