Annotated by archduke_piccolo (2332): My young Australian opponent in this game challenged me to this unrated game. Beginning with an Owen Defence, events develop slowly to begin with, as Black (me) declined to make contact until the game was well advanced. Seizing the initiative with a K-side attack, Black spoils it with some inaccuracies that led to a close-fought slugfest in some rather strange settings. And Black wasn't having … |

Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): Hi everyone!
Another victory, taking my rating into the 1830s. This was a very hard fought, tense battle. My new buddy Elia played a very hard game. Indeed, he had a rating in the 1700s but unfortunately he suffered some timeouts as a result of a bad internet connection. But I digress, he was in the game until the very last move where he left his rook en prise to Fou Lenoir who gratefully … |

Annotated by felkajamine (1065): this is a game between two brothers, one slightly intoxicated with every drug under the sun, and the other, just a normal average person.

Annotated by jaromir (1200): Ah, he wants to play a sicilian? 3.Nf3 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Or just another kind of French game: 3.Nf3 d5. No way, i would like to switch to a kind of Benoni (3.d5 exd5 4.exd5 d6) with my pawn still on c2 instead of c4. In that type of game black has problems with his space and white can put a knight on c4 AND play c2-c3 at some moment. Then black doesnt have the d4-square. Interesting! But black has … |

Annotated by rockhawkamn10 (1200): In this game white takes advantage of holes in the king's protection and finishes things off with a nice knight sac to tear away the black king's remaining defenses. The usual 1.e4 The French Defence, an opening I'm somewhat familiar with. Taking up more of the center, the most common response according to the GK game database. This is something I had never seen before, but after looking at it, I … |

Annotated by afonsoz (936): Here's a game I played in the first round of the Casual section in the 35th Tournament. I already had four points, and my opponent had two wins and no losses. So this game decided who passed to the next round, and it has a lot of pressure. I started with this common move. The French Defense. It requires a long and precise defense... If Black doesn't play accurately, White will soon have the… |

Annotated by almageccom (1200): The annotations in this game are to help me (White) understand how I went wrong. A better analyst may find more insightful observations, but I might improve myself by looking this game over occasionally. Soem comments were added by RD. comment from RD: 3...Nc6 is weak. White should reply 4 d5. comments from RD: 8 Bd3 is bad! It allowed his ...e5 on the next move.
White should play… |
