Dubious novelty against the accelerated dragon icehawk (1722) vs. rygeren (1669)
Annotated by icehawk (1905): This game was perhaps not the most exciting from an artistic point of view, but there was a lot of tension and fighting spirit. The quality of play was higher than in most of my games, with no side making any serious mistake. The accelerated dragon is understandably very popular nowadays. 5.c4, heading for a Maroczy bind is also an… |

Your prayers are Flanswered! ethansiegel (1722) vs. flanders (1821)
Annotated by ethansiegel (1729): Flanders and I are on different teams that play each other often, and he's pretty good. But in this game, I get the better of him, to even my record with him (3-3-1). I went on a kick where I tried opening 1. c4 for awhile, and that was a disaster. Back to 1. e4 to me for awhile! The Sicilian. A lot of people here play the Sicilian or respond… |

Let's play chess klondyke (1865) vs. young_tribe (1890)
Annotated by klondyke (1200): I have decided to annotate this game to highlight a great double Bishop sacrifice. It does not end with checkmate but does leave the board with myself up a Queen for a Rook, and my opponent resigning.
Hope you enjoy,
David. Sicilian, seem to play against this a lot now as the level of my opponent rises. My typical response to the… |

Butchering the Safest Sicilian basil73 (1604) vs. fredmcgriff (1441)
Annotated by fredmcgriff (1457): My name is Fred Mcgriff, and I'm a retired Baseball professional. Having just "read" The Safest Sicilian by Alexander Delchev with Semko Semkov, I am ready to bring my new knowledge to battle. The hilarity that ensues will be my woeful regurgitation of this fine GM teaching. With this move I complete the book's subtitle, "A Black Repertoire… |

Latvian Gambit - Poisoned Pawn chasparos (1632) vs. mrdos (1636)
Annotated by chasparos (1648): Just to feel better about myself.
This is a mini-tourny game on the theme 'Latvian Gambit - Poisoned pawn' that my opponent blundered away. Nice to see that others can stumble too. Since its a set piece game I'll start commenting at the end of move 6. Ok. The battle field is set. Black has accepted the 'poisoned' g2 pawn, and white… |

A Pinning Theme for a Successful Combination. chess_o (1790) vs. toiletduck1 (1785)
Annotated by toiletduck1 (1200): The 4th of my games against the Italian stallion chess_o. The 3rd was a slaughter. This 1 not so much, but contains a nice combination. (game info on previous page) Bird's opening (A03) named after the 19th century English master Henry Bird, probably just comes outside the bracket of the most popular opening moves: e4, d4, c4, Nf3 and g3. They … |
