Annotated by raskerino (1841): Here is another beautiful win by Suba as black against his own preferred opening, the English. I recommend flipping the board. I've been debating for a while how to annotate this game. I think it shows a beautiful sacrifice, and I thinks it's a pity that in retrospect it doesn't work. I'm going to attempt to show the power of the sacrifice, the power of it's complications and the strength of … |

Annotated by rogubravo (1891): This is one of the most intense games I've played lately. The positional struggle embraced all of the board, the kingside, then the queenside and also the center. It's also a game where I was very lucky since black should have probably won were it not for a bad mistake in move 23! The most flexible reply to white's initial move. With this move black invites white to repent from his evil ways… |

Annotated by freddz123 (1959): Welcome to the 19th of my matches! I know it has been quite some time since I last annotated one of my games (or at least since I last typed it up for gameknot), but I've been busy with coursework followed by revision at college. Enough with my excuses, lets get down to the penultimate game for me in the GK Tournament 1st Round. By this point I was fairly confident of progressing to the 2nd… |

Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): My usual 1. Nf3 has been replaced by this more flexible move in this game. The main reason for the change is that I can reach many of my well studied openings by transposition and at the same time can avoid the Classical Kings Indian, which has built up a ton of theory. Not only that, but by playing either the Saemisch or the Hungarian Attack (as in this game) I am able to generate a kingside… |

Annotated by thitho (1200): This was a game were three pawns were worth a piece for a long time... Then, the three pawns turned two, then,... well, let's see the story... there was one day a horse who went out of his corral,... the main idea for white is to build an attack on the queen side and to hope for complications. For complications, I'll be served. black contest the queen-side queen-side it will be on the other… |

Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): Hi again everyone,
It is time for round two. In the red corner is our WTW&LR Champion, GM Cyrano. In the blue corner is the Gameknot Champion akjoltoy who starts off with an English Opening. 1. c4. 2. Nc3 - one pair of knights is developed. 4. d4 - in response to Afro's hypermodern style of defense (putting pawns on g6 and d6 and preparing to fianchetto his KB at g7), The Champ puts up… |

Annotated by goldaxe2006 (1619): The English opening. Against this I normally try to transpose to the King's Indian, which is what happens here. We have now reached the mainline of the King's Indian Defense a typical move, inviting white to close the center with d5. Then black will attack on the kingside with an eventual ...f5, while white will try to make progress on the queenside. putting pressure on e4 this move … |

Annotated by stringplayer92 (1200): stringplayer92 (annotator) - cosimo (1758)
In this game Black commits an early mistake followed by the loss of a pawn. In many books, authors will leave positions such as this with comments such as "and white converted the advantage into a win". This technique, winning the won game, is a key part of a players development. This is the classical King's Indian Defense starting position. … |

Annotated by another_ken (1200): King's Indian: 4 Pawns Attack ? c6 seems a stronger reply, followed with d5 and asserting some control of the centre. Continuing from the text move, Black might be considering c5 or e5 shortly. ? This seems out of step with Black's defence some how, better might be to continue c5, or e5 to prevent White's e5. Common is Knf3 instead, the text is playable but not favoured. Non-standard, but… |

Annotated by tcslick420 (1200): Notes By Travis Colon
My Opponent is not very strong, but I just needed to annotate another game so I can get the feel of what I'm doing. If you guys have any tips for me to help me with my annotating or calculation, it would be much appreciated. Again, this is only my second annotation, so it won't be very good. The game isn't so good either. Usually play continues 3.d4 and then 4.e4, yet… |

Annotated by melb (1522): I thought this was a little passive I wanted to contest the black squares I wanted to prepare for getting the black Bishop out I'm thankful that he has blocked the white bishop Is it a good idea to flank two sides without promoting the center pawns? Almost didn't do it, but it payed off later Rats I thought this was the only way to defend the center I spend a lot of time… |
