 ICDs 4th annual mini, Group 4 daveyr18 (1520) vs. richardevans (1456) Annotated by daveyr18 (1200): This game started as most do when I'm playing white, the trusty old e4... So my opponent opts for the Sicilian in response, which is also tried and tested.... A move i often play, it halts any immediate plans of d5 and adds early pressure onto the traditionally sensitive f7 pawn... This move is a … |

The Annotation Project II rjacobs (1603) vs. dmaestro (1540) Annotated by dmaestro  (1499): Thematic Queen Sacrifice. This check seems strong.

Now Black wants to exploit the advantage of the exchange but… |

Challenge from thehellion thehellion (1278) vs. x-machine (1181) Annotated by last_archimedean (1564): I've always like the English Opening. White will aim to control the light squares in the center of the board. Black responds symmetrically. The game could easily transpose into a variation of the Sicilian at this point. Black plays for a flank attack, keeping his center Pawns in reserve for the… |

A bad line... babetta (1884) vs. nyctalop (1960) Annotated by nyctalop (2166): This game features a subvariation of the Sveshnikov, where White chooses a passive Knight retreat. The line is much more common at junior level, at least from my experience, where theory is less important and everyone just tries to play chess according to general principles. If White wanted to… |

One move later, I lose to a brilliant knight move. I love unusual mate positions (unusual, clever, pretty, dashingly handsome - they're all good!) even if… |

Let's play chess dsb13 (1827) vs. muncaster (1528) Annotated by dsb13 (2452): I thought that I'd try something new. I've tried pretty much everything against the French over the years. The King's Indian Attack with 2. d3 is fine but if Black exchanges on e4 it's hard to make much of it for White. 3. Nd2 c5 didn't agree with me, and 3. Nc3 Nf6 (and particularly 4. Bg5… |

Nxe5 g6). Black's idea is a simple and thematic one - play against the e5 pawn. In the first instance, he will do this by exchanging on f3 and then e5. White will have to find a plan,… |
