Simultaneous Exhibition
Amateur vs. J. H. Blackburne
Annotated by last_archimedean (1564): Blackburne was one of the greatest masters of his day. Here, he easliy polishes off a victim in 7 quick moves. This amateur starts with a basic opening. Blackburne tries nothing esoteric, going with the Classical response. The best second move available in this position. Blackburne continues on standard lines. The "Quiet Game" -- but not this time. Now the sparks begin to fly. White snatches the…

Waitzkin-Arnett, Charlotte 1985
Joshua Waitzkin vs. David Arnett
Annotated by eden8 (1200): This game was played in the seventh and final round of the 1985 National Primary Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina. I recommend breaking out a practice board if you want to follow the analysis. Playing White was Joshua Waitzkin and playing Black was David Arnett. My comments are based on the annotated game from Ubisoft's Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition, annotated by Mr Waitzkin himself.…

Annotated by bzbright (1200): Ah, the Blackburne Shilling gambit. Probably my favourite chess trap, although it's very easy for an experienced player to spot and avoid. I certainly wouldn't recommend using it...ever...because there are several chances for White to decline, escape and capitalise on the early sacrifice of Black's material and position. But a fun party piece all the same. This game is a textbook example…

kewparknick's mini-tournament
japanesebeef1 (1343) vs. kewparknick (1381)
Annotated by kewparknick (1200): the initial position in the mini tournament looking for smothered mate in the opening making his rook safe i played this move because in order to save the rook, he would have to lose the game eg:Rook g8, queen e4# he must have seen the danger gaining more material i had to block checkmate (queen f3 check, king d8,queen f8#) a plan formed in my mind when he played this move, at…

Annotated by soccerooscrazy (1200): Smothered Mate - another useful tactic e4 a standard classical opening e5 - the best move available if you are ging for the classical opening Nf3 - the best move you could do with your g1 Knight A good reply not uncommon. Nd4? leaves the e5 pawn open what else would you do? another seemingly stupid move again, what else would you do? obviously, since White has trapped Black's rook, you'd get…
