The Boa Constrictor in action
Petrosian vs. Wolfgang Unzicker
Annotated by nyctalop (2166): The following game features one of the must successful strategic achievements in a chess game I have ever seen. Black commits a slight inaccuracy early in the opening after which he doesn't get a chance to come back and play. White completely strangulates his position but that's enough. One weakness isn't enough to win a chess game against a stubborn opponent. So White concocts an unbelievable…

Kidderminster Club Championship
Maurice Bissell vs. Charles Higgie
Annotated by charleshiggie (2222): Finally it had to happen! My first loss in a competitive over-the-board chess games in 2012. At least the game will not be forwarded to the grading authorities, so it will not affect my grade (we call them grades in England, the rest of the world tends to refer to them as ratings1) Once again I lost the toss and had to defend with black So I play my usual. And he does this, fairly standard, but…

Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): This game is a Torre attack, where I played a less critical line than the line 3...c5, however, still gives Black a solid game after the most trying continuation 4. Bxf6. My 2100 rated opponent, enters into this line, then let's off the accelerator with 5. e3, instead of the obvious 5. e4, with a central space advantage. The position that results features a good example of play against an…

Annotated by kingstuart (1200): a nice game where i exploit whites light squared weaknesses Queens Indian defence embarking on a plan of queenside expansion, prehaps prematurely continuing said plan best way to counter play on the wings? play in the centre of course! ?? mistake loses a pawn for white, prehaps b5 continuing the plan of queenside expansion is better, else white should play a developing move such as…

Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): The theme here is development. So far we have played 6 games and 50% of them have been decided by developmental problems. This game is no exception. I manage to get some very active piece play and once White steps out of theory, I am able to simplify the position to one in which Black has a winning engame. My friend chooses this move order to avoid my well studied Bogo-Catalan lines with…

Southern Mississippi Open rd 4
Thomas G. (1440) vs. Randall W. (1326)
Annotated by tag1153 (1700): Here is my favorite game from the Southern Mississippi Open. Ever had a game where your opponent makes the moves you hope he will? It happened to me in this game, and I got the chance to go on a king hunt that was really exhilirating (at least for this class 'C' patzer:) My opponent gets his king stuck in the center and advancing, and I'm able to really make him squirm. I hope you enjoy:) As…

A complete game of attacking chess
LecceWulf (2250) vs. Complete (2250)
Annotated by lecce-wulf (1200): Starts out as A46: Queen's Pawn, becomes E10: Blumenfeld Counter-Gambit (3. ... c5) and finally settles into A74: Modern Benoni (Classical) with 7.Nc3 etc I only play d4 in 'real time' or blitz chess. I really should start playing it in longer games too, but e4 has served me well so far and if it ain't broke...! c4 or even Bg5 are possible lines Other main lines include d5 and g6, whereas b6, d6 …

(12)
Annotated by alloutwin (1200): In this game white begins well, dragging black out of book lines early, but following initial positional gains breaks the chain protecting his king and is made to pay for doing so. More usual would be c4, grabbing a mini pawn centre, however this move does continue development despite looking slightly cramped. Black continues the main line of the kings indian planning to bring the bishop to…

Team match
edandevy (1746) vs. rumata (1739)
Annotated by rumata (1887): Trading of black's problem bishop Here black has a lot light-squared weakness that white takes advantage of. Critical moment, I saw white's pressure on the c-file. c5 was a must here. Next few moves revolve around protecting c7 square Finally able to protect c7 sufficiently, but now black is stuck in a very passive position. When in trouble, complicate!…

Natália Jéssica vs. rcm06
Annotated by nataliajessica (1200): Tive uma partida duríssima com rcm06 terminando em empate, começamos a segunda e durante o andamento meu adversário aventou a possibilidade de eu estar utilizando um motor para jogar, um tanto deselegante achei. Por isso resolvi colocar a partida para anotação. Acredito que vencer utilizando outros meios que não nossa capacidade de pensar não é justo nem válido e nem nada aumenta nossa…

Annotated by chessknave (1560): A70: Modern Benoni: 6 e4 g6 7 Nf3 I am playing d4 against my silican opponent in hopes of finding an edge before my oppents tactics hit me. My opponent is the honorable Saitek Maestro Master Chess Computer, which is set to level 3. I am not giving my opponent a rating because I only know of the maximum rating of 2200 elo for it.

autumn small tourney
bronx_best (1740) vs. troglodit (1798)
Annotated by a_boogie (1200): As usual, I can't get away from playing d4 as my first move sometimes because I believe it's less stressful then playing e4 I usually play c4 here but I hoping I could get myself in a Colle system Seems like my opponent want to play the Queens Indian Defence, so why not right, let the game begin After I made this move, I started to have second thoughts about it because I thought about…
