 Make that 10 points out of 13 games!I have now got 10 points out of 13 games, the 10th was against The Bishop. Do not be fooled by the fact that his rating was at one time less than 1200 - it has been more than 1300! I respected my opponent but I went in for a seemingly mad combo. However, as you will all find, there is method in the madness. Here it is:- gameknot.com Cheers. Joanne |

Dana MacKenzie vs Freddy I am proud to present to you the  game between him and me. And i think this will be very interesting. My real game experience and skill vs 2 years of deep analyzing of the opening and its variations. any comments about the game are most welcome.. |
||||||
|
you're playing this one as black--are you playing another as white? |
||||||
|
Another win for jstevens1 I feel a little happier today, got my 1800 rating back and this latest win pushed me further north against 1600+ nuntar (Michael). Watch out for those forks everyone! gameknot.com Hope you enjoy. Bye for now. Joanne |

Steve If this game works out, more variations will be played and tested. Perhaps i take the white pieces in one of those games.. But i prefer black because i love to play under pressure |

A Pleasant Surprise Another of my Annotation Project games finished in the small hours of this morning when I woke up to a white flag from my opponent dmaestro. Here is the game:- gameknot.com Hope you enjoy reading this and have a nice day! Bye for now. Joanne |

I was expecting It is about the most interesting thread on this part of the forum. And least of all a very interesting opening/tournament that can lead to loads of discussions. |

Name? |

We're thinking... I don't know how the inventor of the line (one Dana McKenzie) feels about this... Cheers, Ion |

The Name I would not complain if this became known as the Mackenzie Variation. However, it is not up to me! It has been pointed out to me that a Swedish correspondence player named Arne Bryntse played it a few times in the 1960s/70s, so it should be known as the Bryntse Variation. In order to be neutral, I just call it the Queen Sac Variation. Dana |

Dana Mackenzie vs Freddy - |

New Annotation up.. oddodddodo (1200) vs. easy19 (2269) gameknot.com The game is annotated up to move 24 but is stil running.. looking forward to your comments.. I can tell you that this game against the inventor and top expert in this opening is quit hard. A loss is most likely but we are both learning. |

With nearly 90% of the tournament completed... For a long time nuntar looked a strong contender for 3rd at least, with a mathematical shot and 2nd. Not to be. I suspect his pessimism, especially with the White pieces, hurt his chances, especially in recent games. He can still make 4th, though... But I think nuntar prefers a quieter sort of game - he's not alone in that by any means! The oddodddodo vs easy19 is looking good for White at the current stage. It was surprising how quickly Black's game turned from OK to very difficult. |

I would like to play this tourney a 2nd time, with this experience under my belt, to see how I fair. I know that several of us lost games early on due to falling in various traps. I think it would be interesting to engage in a 2nd tourney with the same players to see how the games developed. However, I suspect I may be in the minority on that desire. |
||||||

Steve But i have several other candidate openings that might be as interesting as this one. I will figure out what is best.. You also can start one yourself But then it is your project. Note: My game with Dana has ended in a draw and the game is now annotated. gameknot.com Dana will make a chess lecture of it. I think it will be available soon. www.danamackenzie.com |

A new game for the Annotation Project. I have just finished my penultimate game with a victory giving me 16 points out of 19 games. Be nice if I could finish with 17 and be only 3 points behind the Master Mater. Here is my second victory against graderguy with me playing black. Here it is:- gameknot.com Hope you have a good read. Bye for now. Joanne |

Jo bows out on a high! My last match in this mini-tournament ends on a high, giving me my highest ever chess rating, 1857, amazing, despite my tendency to be passive at times. I now come away with 17 points out of 20 games. Well, here it is:- gameknot.com Hope you are enjoying your weekend - a great start to it. Bye for now. Joanne |
