Annotated by bigpeta (1200): English symmetrical opening. Blacks intention is to play white at his own game and retain some sort of control in that he has the option of when to end the symmetry.
The Bremen variation. The fianchetto has both strengths and weaknesses.
The 1st non-book move. designed to prevent BxN exchange disrupting the pawn structure
If you are going to play Qb3 then do it in one move and… |

Annotated by raskerino (1841): Here's a nice miniature for Suba, this game is in the English (same as the last one) but in this game Suba takes the white side. While I don't think this is anywhere near as fantastic an overall game, it's enjoyable in the simplicty and forceful nature of the attack. Also Suba's willingness to move his king is quite enjoyable to watch. Black also spends seven unimpressive turns (out of 15)… |

Annotated by bigpeta (1200): better was e6 to consolidate your centre and prevent d5
and now the centre is mine
there are more important things to do than protect c4. eg Bg4 or Nd3+
should take with the other N - Nbxd5. gets your N out of trouble and opens a diagonal to the K for your Q
correct was Nxc3 offering a Q swap. But taking the R is a really bad move. When a piece is offered for free then you… |

Annotated by 9422m (1200): This is an English Opening by my opponent. It is also known as the "Bird's Eye" or "Reverse Sicilian" in the archives.
The Sicilian is a good defense against e4 and actually it can even work as an offense--it is that good.
When I get a reverse Sicilian open against me I find it is fine to mirror the open for awhile. So I did. This move is a bit different for me and mirroring may not be the … |

Annotated by guy04 (1200): Prudence et développement plutôt que de prendre le pion. Assez de prudence. On prend. Plutôt que Qa4 qui reprend le pion mais laisse la Dame blanche dans une position avancée (avec du pour et du contre). Comme disait Confucius, un pion est un pion. Les blancs ont maintenant deux pions isolés. Vient à la rescousse du Cavalier. Les blancs ont réussi à se libérer,… |

Annotated by hectorc (1200): an interesting game, in which I tried to trap my opponents queen at the expense of a few pawns. The queen eventually escaped and left me in a poor position. Valuable lesson learnt!! White has surprisingly not moved d or e pawn yet. intending Kings Indian defence. cant think why I played this as it blocks path of Bishop if Kings Indian defence is played. Planning an attack on f3 pawn at… |

Annotated by albamola (1453): English opening. Symmetrical. What uncomfortable players play. So do I... Referred to as hedgehog system. This is off the main line.
We classically see 3. d4 cxd4.
My opponent maybe tries to open ways for the c Bishop aiming at my c pawn.
But watch out! The diagonal is open to the a Rook as well. Keep this in mind. Simply developing without any weird idea, I promise. Opening ways for the Queen … |
