Annotated by bikerman (1954): This is my attempt to refute an opening position which is listed in all my books as a loosing position but which I think is the opposite. The position is one which I am sure many players have got themselves into, especially in their early chess life. Most, like me, learn that it is to be avoided, and we then play so that we don't get into the position.
In this annotation I want to challenge… |

Annotated by a_random_guy (1985): Hello everyone! In this game, I sacrifice a piece early on to jam my opponent's position, resulting in my first expert win on gameknot. Game analysis here: http://gameknot.com/analyze-board.pl?bd=17489031&rnd=0.3967515980264382 I start the game with e4, which partially occupies the center and allows a few of my pieces to come out.. My opponent replies with the Nimzovich Defence, which is seldom… |

Round 6
Nimzowitsch Defense
If there was ever a game where I cheated myself out of a spectacular combinational finish to a nice miniature and a cap to a solid tournament performance filled with strong attacking chess, then this is definitely it. I kick myself for not winning this game in at least some mundane fashion.

Annotated by sermillion (1200): ECO - B00 4. Other possible moves - Nf3, Qh5 , Bb5, Bd3, exf6, c3 and Bf4 (from a search of 2 million games)
4. ... Bf5 main line, other possible moves g6, Nh6, e6 (a bit pointless IMO as it locks in the white squared bishop), fxe5 (which I didn't like as it opened up the board leaving white with an early space advantage)
What I liked about the games viewed down this line is that black… |

Annotated by autumn_tomato (1248): This was a game where everything was decided in the seventh move. It looked like black used his queen, bishop and knight in a great combined attack, but white was able to counter it and everything fell apart for black after that. Black surrenders the center in the hope to attack it later. Ultramodern opening. Rather than having the knight flee, black brings his queen into play very early in… |

Annotated by cheg1 (1496): This game traded down to a Rook vs. Rook endgame with white one pawns to the better on the 27th move. Even with an extra pawn the endgame was not easy. If 5 ... Bxf3 6. cxd5 Bxd1 7. dxc6 Ba4 8. cxb7 Rb8 9. Nc3 Bd7 10. Bb5
White's pieces are all easily developed and poised for castling meanwhile Black's Kingside are on their original squares. So.... The dangerous … |

Annotated by graderguy (1643): This is a game as a result of a challenge after a Mini-tournament we played in. My opponent got off on the wrong foot with his pawns and was never able to recover.
If you have comments on this annotation please feel free to message graderguy. King Pawn opening, he expects e5. Everyone does it, it's the most common move. A move most people make without even thinking. "Most" people! I have used… |
