his rook zooms down to my second rank...oh i don't like that but chess isn't only about attacking your opponent...you have to deal with him attacking you as well. |

my bishop is in the thick of things now and doing his part to help the team. |

his rooks are carousing around like to big thugs on a dark street corner and the`re beginning to intimidate me but i still feel i have things in hand, my strategy is still to force through a passed pawn in the center and win this war. |

forcing him to move his knight while advancing my c pawn once again. notice my nice chain of pawns going up through the center of the board. the nimzo-larsen will often give you attractive pawn formations in the middle game if you play your cards right in the opening. |

again this was a move i made immediately, i wonder now if i should have taken more time to consider it. it seems to make sense. in my mind he has got to worry about that pawn queening as his rooks are far abroad on their adventures (like king richard on his crusades). |

his queen gets involved in stopping my pawn adavance...this is a critical position and i looked at it and didn`t know what to do, and i didn`t take the time to find out what to do, i got impatient and frustrated, should have stopped right here and logged off and thought about things but that would have made too much sense, if i had stayed focused on my stategy (to queen that pawn), that would have been a good clue to my next move. fritz tells me B-d3, attacking his knight. |

instead i do this and at this point i lose the thread of my game. i was thinking to break up the pawns in front of his king. |

damn his rooks, always hanging around and making threats...remember that comment about my bishop i made early in the game...'This bishop will play an important role of omission later in the game'...i should have played B-d3 here attacking his knight on b5...instead i did something else...

i moved too fast and make the move that loses me the game, probably should have played the bishop to d3 instead, i`m more of a positional player and tactics are not a strong suit for me, that combined with my lack of patience make chess challenging for me. |

after the skirmish, i`m down on the exchange and down in other ways as well. i ruined a good solid position by getting frustrated and not taking my time...chess will bring out your character flaws and shine a spotlight on them. |

i moved fast, angry with myself for losing the exchange and bungling a perfectly good position...there is an important lesson here, if you make a bad move, logoff and get away from the game for awhile and get back to it later when your head has cleared and you're not as emotional....but you know what they say about advice, easy to give, hard to take. |

another bad decision but my heart is not in it anymore, maybe R-a1 was better. |

i resigned and learned another chess lesson, if i am to improve my game i will probably have to make changes away from the chessboard and do something about my `easily frustrated and impatient nature`...but this is part of the beauty of chess, it will reflect your character flaws and shine a light on them. it is up to me to do something about that....Boris Spassky once said that 'Chess is a metaphor for Life'...I think it is. A chess game will have drama, intrigue, tragedy, comedy. Think of it as a theatre of the mind where we play major roles in shaping our destiny. It is life contained on a 64 square field and we are the Kings. |
