Annotated by joveyboy1 (1460): (The ratings of the two players were their ratings when the game first started) By the looks of the two ratings, black would be favored to win, but this game actually turned out to be quite the match. I started off with my traditional opening. I provoke the pawn. He defends. Building up my defenses. The battles begin. Provoking the queen. I tried to drive back the knight here. He… |

Annotated by punkusmartyrus (1200): [Flip the board] for my (Black's) perspective. 1...e5, standard defence for me with open games. (I'm gonna give a walk through of my brain during a game, lol, as want to annotate this game move by move inorder to help beginners - intermediate get a feel for the mental processes and ideas of basic strategy and tactics.) (secretly hoping it's not going to be the Ruy) Putting my dark-squared… |

Annotated by michael_seymour (1671): My first gameknot.com game with a friend who introduced me to the site. We have played many games in the past and this site will make it easier for us to play more often!
Also my first attempt to annotate a game! fairly standard type of opening - attacking my pawn and developing a piece. I could have used the queen's pawn to defend but chose to develop my Knight instead. securing white's… |

Annotated by bwaa (1886): Hi all; chicoboy asked me to annotate this game for him, so here goes! A quick and bloody opening & midgame results in a drawn-out Rook-and-pawn endgame with lots of fodder on the board, but no pieces. Enjoy! I am not aware of any particular name for this King's Pawn Game. More common is for White to bring his LSB out before blocking it in with d2-d3. ? Why spend two moves to play d2-d4? Now … |

Annotated by belacqua17 (1200): an odd move for a weaker player, Bc4 being the main line, this move weakens his position and eventually leads to terrible consequences blunder by me, allows Nd5! ! attacks the queen, threatens Nxc7 fork, also threatens Qxg7 winning the rook if Qd8 the lesser of all the evils, loses the rook, but takes his knight out of the game cracks open his castle terrible move, allows… |

Annotated by dylam (1200): I dont like that move. it seems very passive for white. black is attacking the center (maybe too soon) because of White's passive way of play. by that move white admit his mistake in the 3rd move. I think that better was: 7... Nxe5 8. dxe5 Qxd1 9. Kxd1 Ng4. better was: 8... Nxe3 9. fxe3 Nxe5 10. dxe5 Qxd1 11. Kxd1 Bc5. not the best move. like before - Nxe5. now black is left… |

Annotated by serfork (1841): And interesting game for the mistake I made (black), yet still managed to squeeze a victory out. Many thanks to my opponent for the challenging game. This move was a blunder, i'm still not quite sure what i was thinking here. I probably shouldn't have moved the knight back a few moves earlier. it made for an interesting mid/end game anyway whoops. … |
