 Jo's Welcome MT Part 3 - Hope Chess! jstevens1 (1947) vs. kneilca2 (1493) Annotated by jstevens1  (1891): Hi everyone!
After my loss against Etienne (A-Random-Guy), Coach Ion's kind remarks on Etienne's and my summing up about when to switch from attack to defense if an attack runs out of steam certainly rings true in this particular game. One thing is for sure, when mounting a mating attack, Glenda … |

Let's play chess porcho (1065) vs. hhipster35ca (957) Annotated by porcho (1060): This game I lost a bishop early on due to oversight, but got a lucky mate in the end. Damanio's defense. I think it's pretty weak I don't know how to play it so I just develop He's weakening his kingside. He's just used pawns so far. Finally he develops a piece. It's a free pawn. Might as well.… |

Chess game porcho (1065) vs. dj-jk (1173) Annotated by porcho (1060): Philidor's defense. I don't like it because it blocks in your DSB. Just developing Preparing b7-b5 maybe? Maybe not the best. Doesn't really accomplish anything that I can see, and you're not supposed to move the same piece twice in the opening without a good reason. I poke the knight It runs… |

Chess game alvin3 (1161) vs. porcho (1065) Annotated by porcho (1060): This game ended in a draw. I was wondering does anyone think I (or my opponent) should have played on? The only opening I really know. A lot of my games have this position. I don't like this move, it blocks in my LSB. I probably should have moved my d pawn one square forward and maybe fianchettoed… |

Chess game porcho (1065) vs. pops4 (1148) Annotated by porcho (1060): In this game I think I played fairly well until I made an unsound sacrifice. If it wasn't for a lucky mate, I probably would have lost. My usual I'm not sure I like this move. It doesn't seem to accomplish much except keep my DSB off g5 I know this wasn't a great move. I probably should have moved … |

Let's play chess annabekoach (1963) vs. lostcauseone (1934) Annotated by annabekoach (1905): I've never been impressed with the Sicilian Defense. I realize it's the most popular response to 1. e4, but White doesn't have to head into the myriad of Black's homespun preparation and still get a fantastic game. This move of the late Yugoslav IM Rabar is considered Black's strongest. White… |

Sicilian Defence, Accelerated Dragon rickypr18 (1795) vs. results (1846) Annotated by rickypr18 (1770): The starting point of the Accelerated Dragon. I opt for a Maróczy Bind, which takes control of the d5 square and pretty much prevents the d7-d5 move that black hopes for in the Accelerated Dragon. This all seems normal up to now. I do not think this was a wise move, trading the g7 bishop with… |

This game pushed me across the 1800 mark for the first time! I think the play itself is interesting enough to be worth a look, as well.

I usually play this variation, because it feels to me like the most natural place to put the bishop. 8. O-O is the most… |

I already feel Black has a slight advantage. Well, the diagonal does look appealing. Another great diagonal. I looked at 9...Nc6 but backed away from it. I hate my position. I still hate my position.

It's pretty clear where White is headed. The open-air diagonal pays off. The piece is worth more than the exchange. Forced. There's a lot of air on the h1-a8 diagonal. The Queen will use this later.… |

First, he chose an obscure opening that isn't well analyzed. This in and of itself isn't particularly striking. However, it offered attacking chances and in places, it could get tricky. And second,… |

How not to play against the Sicilian Chekhover sastro (1734) vs. rickypr18 (1804) Annotated by rickypr18 (1770): This is the first notable move, avoiding all the Sicilian main lines, this is called the Chekhover Variation. I really didn't think this was good for white, and it probably wasn't, but my inaccurate moves probably cost me the game. Initially, I've thought that this was my first mistake, but in… |

E6 or d5 would… |

Lost opportunities and mate out of nowhere. damalfi vs. stealths Annotated by damalfi (1784): The exceptionally close black's position makes it difficult to attack.

I feel sorry for my queen... I … |

Team match goshabg (1886) vs. 9422m (1962) Annotated by 9422m (1968): The e4 open by White, in my mind, is the strongest open. D4 is okay too. Anything else tells me my opponent needs a lesson in chess. I never respond to e4 Ruy Lopez and so I have the French or the Sicilian or the Caro-Kann in my mind as a response. Rule out the French Defense because the… |
