Annotated by tomwhufc (1200): This famous ecounter pitted the world champion Emauel Lasker against the sensational young Capablanca. Lasker proved that he wasn't yet ready to roll over and die before the next generation. Besides the historical significance of this game, this match is noteworthy for Laskers simple winning startegy, seemingly flowing right from the flowing. Simple for a master not for players like me!

Annotated by ethansiegel (2048): Alright, folks, I know I haven't annotated a game in awhile, but I haven't had one very illustrative of any particular themes lately. Here is a game against my fellow Southern-Chess member Remybear, who always plays me tough. I bumble around and he gets a big advantage, but I throw everything into a big counterattack. The result is worth watching. Ruy Lopez -- little do I realize that my… |

Annotated by dylam (1200): ruy lopez - exchange variation, my favorite. an unsound move. 0-0 is the theory. the c1 bishop has an important job to keep f4 square in variations so it wouldnt be smart to put it on b2. white created "holes" in his black squares on the queen side. black wants 0-0-0 and to attack in the king side. the bishop on b2 cant take on f4... black gives a pawn. I think it is not… |

Annotated by concordborn (1200): This was a blitz game played on Gameknot. White opened with 1.e4 and instead of my favorite response 1... c5 I played 1...e5 which I have been doing more in Blitz to try and enhance my play of double king pawn openings. We went into a Ruy Lopez and White blundered early and resigned after the 8th move. So far simple and on book. Less conventional, but we proceed. Slightly taken aback by… |

Annotated by spainwins (1200): E4 opening (I always use this unless I am playing as black) a good starting defense my classic opening Classic defense I use this a lot. Yes, I got him! down goes the knight now, the pawn is open. A sloppy move. It seems pointless, but it is actually slowing developing into something larger... Going for a easy mate He doesn't want it to end so soon. I prepare to check mate him soon.... … |
