Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1993): Here is a bullet miniature from the ICC. It is a book trap from the Reti-Slav setup, when Black plays ...Bg4. This is traditionally known as the Capablanca system. Although play sometimes transposes into a Closed Catalan, I always like seeing this move as the modern treatments of the New York ...Bf5 and Capablanca ...Bg4 lines are quite unknown at club level. I'm not exactly sure why, as they … |

Annotated by ethansiegel (1729): Here is a great example of uncovering tactics in an unusual position. Enjoy! The King's Indian Attack... not the 1. e4 or the 1. d4 I'm familiar with. Offering white 2. e4 if he wants it. Staking a claim to the center. Not developing the kingside... this move seems very commital to fianchettoing the bishop to me. So, I reason, might as well develop my kingside and attack towards his. I expected … |

...Jaburr (21) vs. Owenss1 (20) Annotated by owenss1 (2202): An unusual reply, but with the Knight of f3, White has less chance of shoring up the diagonal. Meanwhile the b7 bishop should help neutralize any White bishop that is installed on g2. Other moves are possible, but are not as logical:
3. d3 shuts in the light squared bishop and is likely to transpose into King's Indian territory, when Black has more breathing room.
3. Bd3 blocks the… |

Annotated by tag1153 (1444): Round 4 of the 2007 Alabama State Championship begins, and I've got the white pieces against an old nemesis. I'm 0-3 lifetime vs. Miles, and my attitude about this tournament starts to falter a little. I really want to finish day 1 with a 3/4 score, but this is gonna be tough. I play my new favorite, 1. Nf3. Offering up the gambit pawn. Nf6 also popular. Temporarily blocking in one bishop… |

Annotated by tag1153 (1444): I enter the final round of the Space City Open sitting on 2.5/4, and have a shot to tie for 2nd place should I win. My two wins so far have been relatively easy, and I realize that this game will be for real. My opponent, an actual adult, is rated almost 100 points higher than me, and I really need to beat him. I tell myself that since I have the white pieces, I should play with purpose and go… |

Annotated by taufiq (1488): My regular opening, the Reti. Developing his queens-knight. Other good moves were 1. ... d5; 1. ... Nf6 or 1. ... c5 (leading into a Sicilian). Making a c1-h6-diagonal for my black bishop.. Making place to deposit his bishop on g4 ? This is somewhat a "closed fourknights-game" ? (while using the d-pawns, instead of the e-pawns ?) Normal developing.. I think this is a lost move for black; since … |

Annotated by jstevens1 (1808): Hi everyone!
You may all recall me saying a few months ago that to exchange down into a pure K & P ending a pawn down was scuicide. Well, my buddy Jim Friar (a very strong expert who has an optimum rating of 2092 and has a victory against an International Master stamped on his Gameknot chessic CV) made me eat some of my words! Towards the end you will see that Jim deliberately exchanged… |

Annotated by cash1981 (2204): 1.Nf3 c5
2.e3!? ...
A conservative choice and a move sequence very seldom seen. I was hoping to take 9K out of its book while playing solid moves. We now head towards a sort of offshoot of an opening known as Qween's Gambit Declined. 3. ... Nf6
4.d4 d5?!
This was a very pleasant surprise to me because it should lead to White’s domination of the center. A better move was … |

Annotated by the_ashaman (1652): The game begins in an odd Reti that goes into an Alapin sicilian. Then its a fight for the d4 square and the d file. Black loses this fight but gains another advantage and slight edge with it, and then throws it away. A blunder and a king hunt follow. The Reti Opening (A.K.A. The Zukertort OPening. Though I have also heard it refered to as the King's Indian Attack), a very flexible opening,… |

Annotated by neilskye (1662): This is a game played with the Reti opening system in which black neglects development and makes an inexplicable opening 14 moves of which 11 are pawn moves. He then fails to capitalise on some inaccuracies by white and finally overlooks a mate threat by getting greedy for material. This is an unorthodox response to the Reti, more common are ...Nf6; ...d5; ...e6; ...Nc6 and ...f5 Perhaps 2.d4… |
