chess opening #256 (109)Bobby Fischer's "Game of the Century" Annotated by tag1153 (1700): There is no telling how many copyright infringements I'm breaking right now, and I'm sure RJF would rip my head off for having the audacity to even LOOK at one of his games, but this game is by far one of my favorites and I wanted to share it with the masses. For the record, this game WAS NOT mine (it was played 14 years before I was born!) and the comments I make are strictly MY OWN…Donald Byrne vs. Bobby Fischer |

chess opening #45756 (5)Bishop pair? Knight pair? Why not both? Annotated by black_cat_hamlet (1531): This game displays a brilliant attack courtesy of Black, executed just as White seems to be building up a real threat! Both players undergo a different strategy of attack but with one brilliant move Black proves that he has the better attack! Simple development so far, though I do find White's approach slightly unorthadox. He has gone for a hypermodern approach with the double…O'Kelly vs. Paul Devos |

chess opening #15321 (18)Birmingham Tornado Annotated by tag1153 (1700): Here is my most interesting game from the B'ham Tornado. Feeling confident playing in a lower section than I'm accustomed to, I figured I would simply make mince meat out of all of my opponents. After winning my first 3 rounds, my head and ego weighed a combined six tons. In this final round game, my opponent blunders a pawn out of the opening, and I start planning my acceptance speech for…Thomas G. (1388) vs. Patrick B. (1355) |

chess opening #789 (20)New York Masters Tournament 1924 Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): Here is game from my repetoire that I have memorized. This game shows Reti's hypermodern play against a semi-slav type setup by Black. The latent power of the White position is shown when Reti opens the position to unleash the power of the double fianchettoed bishops. Bogoljubov tries to extricate himself tactically, however, his position is demolished by a beautiful combination. White…Richard Reti vs. Efim Bogoljubov |

chess opening #8061 (12)2007 Wa Open Premier Section Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): This game is round 1 of the 2007 Wa Open held in Seattle. Greg Serper, Ignacio Perez, Nick Raptis, Georgi Orlov, Viktor Pupols were some of the stronger players to grace our presence. If there's one thing you can count on from a scholastic player, it's a King's Indian. I'll bet that's not in your book. Grabbing space on the queenside immediately and preparing to play Bb2 to counter the…Brian Opalewski (1804) vs. Michael Omori (1687) |

chess opening #11153 (11)Space City Open 07 (Reserve - rd #2) Annotated by tag1153 (1700): As the second round of the Space City Open begins, I find myself looking at the wall chart and being traumatized when I see the last name of my next opponent. I am feeling fat and bloated from my pig out experience at Cracker Barrel, and the last thing in the world I want is to play this kid. He is 10, and definitely on his way up the ratings chart. Then I look a little closer, and realize that…Thomas G. (1456) vs. Matt A. |
