 Online G/10 Tournament fretamoza (1623) vs. byakuugan3 (1802) Annotated by byakuugan3 (1200): This was an online fast game I played a couple days ago. I have the Black pieces I don't like playing sicilian in short games because I tend to think a lot. Short timed games probably aren't good for my chess. Alekhine defense entices White's pawns to move forward so they will become attackable. … |

Run, Queenie, run! ethansiegel (1726) vs. jewels26 (1323) Annotated by ethansiegel  (1856): This is a very, very violent miniature against my teammate Jewels26 in our latest Southern Chess mini-tournament. He develops his queen very quickly and winds up moving her in all but four of his moves in this game.
That it ends in checkmate on the 14th move surprised no one but him... So far, so … |

League division D1 ismetyilmaz (1536) vs. kingstuart (1719) Annotated by kingstuart (1200): in this game I play the Scheveningen variation of the Sicilian with 5...a6 in order to aviod the dreaded Keres Attack after 5...e6 6.g4!. The game shows a typical black counter attack on the queenside which white completely underestimates. Returning to the Scheveningen instead of continuing ...e5… |

slow player dav777 (1339) vs. gazdvez (1404) Annotated by gazdvez (1200): I played rarely this opening. I am happy about moves like this. It weakens the kingside and gives the black squares to me. Just for security. I won territory. Maybe this isnot good for me. e6 would be enough for free my bishop but not to closing my queen. I loose here some tempo. To win a pawn. To … |

Team match gazdvez (1510) vs. sleepermd (1503) Annotated by gazdvez (1200): I hate this variation of this opening. I must thinking, where to place my Bishop. On e2 or on d3. Whites' position seems not too good out. But every piece has its' place and function. The position has no weak points, what black could use. I was happy about it. Black has equalised. But it is over.… |

If it doesnot go on the kingside, I must try to broke blacks' Queenside. He just castles into my attack. I wa happy about it. I try to open files for my rooks. After Nxe5 dxe5… |

Caro-Kann Defense - A Lesson Of Initiative vs. Annotated by maimstream (1200): The essential observation from this annotation is based upon taking the initiative. What we will see from this match is white avoiding a useful trade and forfeiting the initiative. If you opt not to trade, and you move a piece out of attack arbitrarily, you lose time. You sacrifice at least … |

My game is in the toilet! rustyrusty (1088) vs. tnaptguy (1100) Annotated by rustyrusty (765): This is a game against fellow Southern Chess member tnaptguy.

Team match goudysans (1633) vs. brulla (1728) Annotated by brulla (1848): Another one of my fast losses, with a beautiful mate ending. This is another case of "Better castle in time!" This does not seem necessary, only weakens the black king side's light squares. Then, to chase this bishop instead of developing my pieces was not the right strategy. Now he goes for my… |

Challenge from panathas1 panathas1 (1650) vs. brulla (1728) Annotated by brulla (1848): One of my "glorious" losses. This is about the subject "Don't forget to castle!". The Austrian Attack in the Pirc Defense. An aggressive approach. It would be better for black to think about castling! Now the knight hangs on for dear life on the black king. This cannot be good. !

This started out as the Cambridge Springs of the QGD; the position was then opened up, and I came up with a great tactic at the end, sacrificing my queen for a mating attack. This is, ironically, a… |

Black's attack never really gets off the ground (as he goes in for a dubious variation on the 20th move) and the position flirts with disaster for a long time and eventually he solves his immediate problems at the cost of… |

It just shows that some sacks are sound and others are just plain lucky. I… |
