Let's play chess leyshon67 (1438) vs. dsymons (1378) Annotated by gazdvez (1200): I play often d4, too, so it can be useful. Against d4 try to play c5 later. The Nc6 blokades this push. This Knight stands better on d7!, after Nf6 example. d4 is an opening, which against You need patience, the counterattack cannot be so good, as against an e4 opening! Now if You had the knight on … |

Sicilian Miniature belacqua17 (1469) vs. cak7 (1032) Annotated by belacqua17 (1200): This is a nice quick game, where i believe the sicilian develops a bit too slowly for black the first non-database move attempting to open his kingside Nxf6 is better here, because it develops the knight and attempts to close down the kingside now he has to waste an extra move developing the… |

Rublevsky Game #2 Rublevsky (2657) vs. Chepukaitis (2417) Annotated by raskerino (1822): Here's a second powerful game from Rublevsky. In this game he creates holes by sacrificing against black's lack of development and lack of space. I recommend playing the game out on a board so that the variations can be analyzed. The modern defense. A slightly odd move, but reasonable, it pins… |

Petrov's greatest game of all time F. A. Hoffmann (2600) vs. A.D. Petrov (2500) Annotated by goodoldtom (1200): This is the best attacking game in all of history, (except for Anderrson, maybe). Petov sacrifices his queen and obtains a lasting attack against the king. This is shocking. Today, cxd4 is preferred. Looking for adventure, but this violates the principle of rapid development. better is king e1,… |

Sicilian - when white do many mistakes! jazzvanna (1721) vs. fareh2007 (1748) Annotated by captaint (1200): Sicilian defense so far! Here's a strange reply, Nf3 would have been better. The idea is to reposition the knight on g3 so that it can defend the e4 pawn allowing c3 - d4 advance, but his just loses a tempo! Now black took complete control of the d4 and e5 squares, this is due to the loss of a… |
