I have another to show you. And, I know that John also likes consultation which is how the consultation game against elyhim started. Here is another consultation game, but this involves OTB chess. gameknot.com Overall, it's the second consultation game that I annotated but the first one that was successful (where everything saved).

I have another OTB annotation, which I think you might like. gameknot.com

 Keep up the good work Joe!
I've gone with a risky ploy here and, instead of cleaning up my annotations after the game's end for public consumption, I've left these as is! A glimpse into how and what I'm thinking as I play chess!
Enter the twisted mind of the Tipsy if you dare! Maw ha ha ha!

an interesting note...
In both those above games the opponent seemed to show some great defensive positional play, only to then, to my disappointment, loose their bundle tactically once battle was joined. Or, that's how I see it. Perhaps I'm being too harsh and rather I caused them to snap with supreme play and tonnes of pressure as soon as I saw a weakness. But I don't think so, I reckon I just cashed in on mistake after mistake.

Thanks, John. And, I intend to get to that annotation, later on today. Unfortunately, however, all activites last Friday, including the chess club, was cancelled. However, I decided to annotate another game. It was a Q sac that I call epic, by tactical-abyss. That's because, this time, he sacced his Q against someone of, about, his strength and won. The reason I annotate these things is because of how much I and a student has learned from them. That's because I've told my students not to resign, even in a lost positions, by doing so, one was able to pull two swindles. One was a draw by stalemating her opponent in a lost position. The other was a win because after she was lost, the opponent made blunders, which allowed the student to recompensate and win the game. gameknot.com

According to the comments, what you are annotating is, again, a blitz game, Joe. Might look flashy but it's poor chess. (I'm sounding a bit like the character of Pandolfini from "Searching for Bobby Fischer" but anyway ) You'll see in one of those annotations I post, as White, I tempt the opponent with a Rook sac to mate (they gobble up the bait) and there's nothing wrong with that. There was a clear tactical evaluation that I would gain more than I lost, in that case the gains were infinite (Mate in 6 or so from memory) compared to loss of a rook! If the opponent didn't take the bait the move still improved my position AND material as I was capturing a knight with the rook. (Yes, as you might tell, I was wiping the board with the opponent by that point.) rmannstaedt will oft sac away material when ahead to remove an opponent's remaining officers from the board knowing he will win in a pawns-only (or effectively pawns-only where the only other officers are rendered immobile) end game due to weight of material. He's certainly done that enough times to me! That's a combination of a clear tactical and strategic calculation. Half the time he was ahead in those games because of "GERONIMO" moves that I made. GERONIMO moves were Sacs for position which are a mug's game as your position has to be at least as good the piece you traded off JUST to break even. THEN you have to be good enough to utilise that position. I find it is infinitely easier to use a good position...when you are at least equal if not ahead in material. Indeed I find chess generally much easier once ahead in material! Funny that! The TA sacs you annotate typically come from blitz games or games where he has a massive rating difference and are speculative: they rely on opponent's errors to win. And yes we all rely on our opponent making at least a miscalculation to win, perfect games are drawn. But the nature of TA's blitz sacs are that he relies on either chains of errors or blunders to carry the day with his entertaining Q sacs. Entertaining, but not educational. Most people are learning always. That is not to say, however, that what they are learning is always beneficial! Choose what you learn wisely Joe!

I understand what you're saying, John. Yes, I mix and match a lot. And, I have commented on one of your, recent annotations. As usual, your annotations remind of those from charleshiggie, and is therefore, outstanding. In that game where I dropped comments, I've also attached two other annotations.
|
|
I have another annotation to show you guys. But, this time, it was my game against the legendary Jack Stockel. gameknot.com And, there is more to it at the WTWLTR club. You can get more insights by reading the latest updates on the WTW Annotations Thread.

Great annotation Joe! Try more aggression with the R-L and delaying the castle nxt time! 😊
|
|
I will. And, I have, yet, another annotation to show, already. But, this time, it was my third mentoring session with knightrider62. gameknot.com
|
|
It's also worth noting that there is not going to be chess club, this Friday. The reason being is because the place that runs it is closed on Thanksgiving weekend. But, it will be resumed next week.
|
|
With that being said, this is my last annotation, until Sunday. gameknot.com The reason being is that I'm going somewhere for Thanksgiving. Then, I'm working a ten hour shift on Friday and Saturday. And, I won't be showing any other's here, until the week after Friday, when chess club resumes. The reason I showed these annotation is because training players is part of my big theme.

Hey take care Joe! 10 hour shifts can be killer...literally. Drive safe! I used to work 12 hours shifts but that was on a mine site so you only had to make it into the back of a troopee at the end. 14 hour shifts during a vintage job I worked but that was at least split so you had time for a nappy nap! See you next week!
|
|
I am happy to say that I, finally, had enough time to read through both of those annotations, John. I read the other today and finished a minute ago.

Cheers Joe! And, as you know, I've been reading a lot of your annotations (though not always accurately ) of late. Now.....if only those austere higher ups would wander down Annotation Alley one of these days and join in the fun!

New Annotation, Philidor loses by force
Well the title says it all. Actually, Joe, you would find this annotation particularly interestingly as the game virtually transposes to a Ruy-Lopez!

After my annotation, which John, recently commented on, I was going to hold off here so that my student would have a little more time to study the position that I gave, as Homework. But, the only issue is this was a mentoring. Remember in the coaching session with Mary (where I mentioned about becoming well known for mentoring a student.) Well, this recent annotation was that student. However, this game lasted for almost a month, and after that time frame, some of the GK chat gets deleted. Well, I wanted the annotation completed before that happened. So, I annotated the game today to help her learn from her mistakes. gameknot.com

I posted in the jkarp campaign thread. But, you didn't see it John. This was my most recent game against Jack Stockel. gameknot.com
|
|
Believe it or not, I have a new student. And, I annotated our first training session, where I mentored him. gameknot.com
|
|
I was going to give this more time in order to read through. But, I'm posting 3 more, before logging off. This is the first one. gameknot.com
|
|
The second one involves my 4th training session with knightrider62. gameknot.com
|
|
This is the third one. gameknot.com And, as you might have noticed, I'm playing Wizard Chess more and more often. It's also the third time I've annotated a game like this. The idea being is that they help me to turn some of my weaknesses into strengths. On the most difficult level, they're like playing a 2400+ rated player, with no room for error.
|
|
Despite being away, I know have another annotation that I must show, for one of my students. gameknot.com

Wow
So much to catch up on! Just started on your excellent R-L with delayed castling annotation against Jack. Left some comments. Time flew! Need to catch a train but I'll be sure to pick up where I left off tomorrow. Seems I could spend many an hour and guinness catching up on your excellent annotations Joe! I wish I played as well as you annotate!
|
|
When you do catch up on these, I'll post even more annotations. I had a couple to make for the OTB chess club that I've had to miss over the weeks, including a couple of Wizard Chess games, a training game from reversion, and my fifth training session with knightrider62, in which, Sue won.
|
|
Up to my Surprise
I've shown more here then mentioned. Ok, here is the fifth mentoring session with knightrider62. But, she became good enough to defeat me. gameknot.com After not playing well from me combined with a rough week, this is where I started agreeing more with easy19 about getting experience which dynamic_dv also noted.
|
|
Here's another one. But, this was a Wizard Chess Game. gameknot.com

An interesting draw
Joe, still to catch up on those annotations. I think I may commit to one annotation a day next week, excluding Australia Day and Friday and see how I go.
As for me, this was an interesting draw against Batman! (Hah, how often do you get to say that?)
gameknot.com
It's funny to see me get ahead of myself and then have to reverse. And to miss the one move, according to the GK comp, that may have granted me victory in favour of something else. What is most interesting is that, at some point I suddenly realise I'm being outplayed and am able to marshal my defences and finish with an enjoyable draw and perhaps the only deserved result given the standard of play by both sides.
Cheers,
TJ

Thanks, John. I'll have a look at some of those annotations. With work being cancelled, due to winter storm Jonas, after shoveling, I was able to find the time to annotate another game. gameknot.com
|
|
Although it's only a day later, I've got another annotation to talk about. gameknot.com But, due to my work schedule, it will be the last for several days.
