concordborn 09-Feb-12, 08:03	Sveshnikov mini For anyone interested I started a Sveshnikov sicilian mini-tournament, join if your rating is in the limits, it's a great variation! www.gameknot.com
jstevens1 25-Mar-12, 00:29	Hi everyone! Here is a game that may be of interest to you in your MT! A game involving a double-exchange sacrifice, a king hunt and a perpetual check. All against Yours Truly. Hope you have a good read. gameknot.com Bye for now. Joanne
jstevens1 28-Apr-12, 00:57	Another annotation! Hi everyone! I now have another annotation for you. This time against concordborn (Matthew), the organiser of this MT. Matthew, despite being a pawn down in the middlegame, defended very well and made it very hard for me to make anything of my one pawn advantage despite my pawn being a remote passer. However, the natural move of his king towards the centre, which is encouraged in the late middlegame/endgame proved to be detrimental to my opponent and allowed me to make a decisive breakthrough which won the exchange and the game! Here it is:- gameknot.com. I hope you all have a good weekend and a good read. Bye for now. Joanne
jstevens1 30-Apr-12, 05:50	..... and another one! Hi everyone! I now have another game for you which can be instructive in a sense it is how to cope when you realise you have missed an opportunity. I can only suggest that you take a deep breath, count to 10000 and resolve to play your best chess from then on in and hope that your opponent will slip up again and try and do everything you can to ensure that he does just that. Here is the game. gameknot.com Hope you have a good read. Bye for now. Joanne
marijuana1966 08-May-12, 13:03	i played lots of Sveshnikov miniatures on the winning side a typical game against a wekaer player (-class A) would go e4 c5 Nf3 Nc6 d4 cd Nd4 Nf6 Bg5 d6 c3 h6 BH4 g5 Bg3 Qa5 Bd2 etc
jstevens1 29-May-12, 17:07	Another annotation! Hi everyone! Got another one for the pot - this time a 69 move game where you will have the priviledge of seeing two queens against one. Here it is: gameknot.com Hope you have a good read. Bye for now. Joanne
l-d-j 11-Jun-12, 12:25	@marijuana1966 I don't quite understand your post... In the game you post there are a lot of mistakes and it's no Sveshnikov anyway. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Bg5? This loses a pawn to 5...Nxe4. A Sveshnikov would be 5.Nc3 e5. 5...d6? 6.c3? Necessary is 6.Nc3 transposing into the Richter-Rauzer, 6.f3 or 6.Bxf6. 6...h6? Why not 6...Nxe4! 7.Bh4? Still gives away the pawn. 7...g5 8.Bg3 Qa5? And again, 8...Nxe4. And now 9.Bd2 is not possible because the B is on g3. So could you please explain?

jstevens1 22-Sep-12, 11:15	Another game for your MT, Matthew! Hi everyone! Just completed another game in Concordborn's (Matthew's) MT. It resulted in a Low Draw for Yours Truly but it is absolutely packed with action on both sides. Here is the game ..... gameknot.com Please feel free to comment on it. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Bye for now. Joanne
