Annotated by fiercequeen (1200): I never look down on weaker players: some of them, served me some ugly surprises; y'all know, what I mean... basically, my standard play against the QP opening... of course... you tell me: White might already lose a piece... a free tempo: never spoil a good threat... resistance is futile... a very bad idea... where were we? not mocking around... huh? I feel neglected...… |

Annotated by charleshiggie (2222): I have tried to make my comments easy for a beginner to understand. I hope I have achieved that. My apologies to stronger players if these comments seem a bit simplistic. This first move is fine, opening up line for the Bishop and Queen, and staking a claim to the e5 and c5 squares. and Black replies with the same, another sound move. This is quite playable, although not as aggressive as c4.… |

Annotated by archduke_piccolo (2332): The player of the Black pieces in this game asked in the Chess forum for tips as to how he might improve his play. It occurred to me that a look at one his games might yield areas that could be worked upon. This encounter proved rather interesting... Although I hope to show some of the technical elements all beginners learn, the more advanced reader might find herein rather more than they… |

Annotated by lighttotheright (1200): Look at my annotation on the shortest game possible for reference. I'm annotating this because in a previous annotation of mine concerning the shortest game possible a comment said that this mating pattern could only happen to a beginner. That's not true. It can happen to the best of us when we least expect it. My opponent has played over 1400 games here on GK. He could hardly be classified as… |

Annotated by judgeman (1200): THIS was a fun game!!! I LOVED this game! The other player and I chatted during the game; I wish you could see the comments! So far, this is a normal game, by my standards. THAT was the main mistake they made. It was queen suicide to throw the queen in an area made to crush/restrict the knight. Tho', it DID get my attention off of the Knight for a while... :P THAT was … |

Annotated by jeremyrayross (1200): This game involves me playing a horrible opening and a terrific endgame. I have a habit of bizzare opening . But I like to experiment with new stuff. It sometimes throws off better players. Even playing white I am the underdog. Went with a hyper modern opening- controling the center with less pawns. 3.Bg5? Horrible move!!! Now you see why... moving the same piece twice.... trapped on… |
