Interesting. — Playing OTB.
Opening comes as 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 at this point white accidentally touches his king, forcing Ke2 giving black a mate on e4.
Quite shattering if you ask me! That is pretty stupid.
Accidental brush with the back of the hand happens often, is always ignored and can't be cons, play online chess ...
d4 defense — ok, I know I've posted about this several times now, but I'm really looking for advice. I've pretty much settled on a repetoire for white and for defense against e4, but playing against d4 has given me trouble lately. I was considering playing the Chigorin, but I'm not sure, it seems like it might b, play online chess ...
Retarded Development — Usually one can associate the above with beginners. However, intermediate players can also fall into this trap. I, Joanne with a rating of 1691 has just fallen into one! I have annotated a game which I have just resigned against Ionadowman called An Expert Lesson in Development. You will see jus, play online chess ...
Rapid/blitz chess — I played in a Rapid chess tournament yesterday, gave good games to much stronger and higher rated opponents than myself but they simply outplay me because I'm in time pressure. It was my first ever rapid chess tournament (Time control: 20mins + 3 seconds a move). How does one improve in that time li, play online chess ...
WHERE have all the Chessplayers GONE?? — Greeting everyone, if you are here, that is?! What I would like to know, with the forum being so unlively this week, is where have you all been?
This is more than simple nosiness, and goes back to my time as a Tournament Director and organizer, when I noted that you cannot get as many t, play online chess ...
How to improve — I'm pretty new here. I've only finished 39 games. I'm returning to the game after not playing for a while--ten or fifteen years, I guess. I was never a tournament player, but I used to play recreationally against at least some players who were "serious." I love the game but have never , play online chess ...
Against e6 Sicilian — 1.e4 c5 2.Af3 e6 are the first two moves of any game.
How must white play against this less common sicilian? If you mean with A the Q: well.....Gameknot database says the most common move after that Sicilian is Bc4, but my suggestion is to develop every piece quickly, so you can play not only B, play online chess ...
Kamskys win — 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Bxc6 6...dxc6 7.d3 Qd6 8.b3 Be6 9.Bb2 Nd7 10.Nbd2 c5 11.a4 a5 12.Re1 0-0 13.Nf1 f6 14.Ne3 g6 15.Nd2 Nb8 16.Qf3 Nc6 17.Qg3 Nd4 18.h4 Kh8 19.Ndc4 Qd7 20.Rac1 b6 21.f3 Rae8 22.Qh2 Bd8 23.Rcd1 Bxc4 24.dxc4 Qf7 25.h5 gxh5

openings — More and more I believe that it has no sense to know openings. I mean openings that are famous like sicilian,caro-kan,french,petroff and so on. Also openings with d4 with a name. Because for me in 90% of my games from the beginning my opponents take a different way.moves that not can be found in boo, play online chess ...
Mate with only knight and bisschop?? — The endgame is me with only a knight and bishop.
My opponent offers a draw, saying I cant mate her. But is it really impossible to mate someone with bishop, knight and king?
We can't really talk about ongoing, active games. Right, we can't offer help in these situations, but printe, play online chess ...
Checkmate or not — Hello,
I recently played with black this game game with pianofred.
In this Position
I generated the conditional move 20 Rf2 Re1+ ... with threefold repetition to save the draw because I h, play online chess ...
Experiences with the 4 Queen Game — gameknot.com
I lost this amazing match--and hats off to my opponent who played it well. The main purpose of this thread is to discuss the strategy and tactics behind games involving 4 queens. I know that this doesn't happen very often. In this game, my opponent had the distinct advantage in , play online chess ...
Annotated games.. How to improve ? — Hi there !
I'm trying to improve the quality of my annotated games.. But it's quiet hard to find out what people like about the annotations..
Is it the depth of your analysis, is it the commentary, perhaps your funny remarks ?
Or something else ? Or a mix of everything ?
Btw, it's very nice to r, play online chess ...
Chess tattoos — I have a tattoo of a knight on my arm - the picture is in my profile.
I was wondering if anybody else had any or knew anybody who has any. I haven't come across anyone else but surely I'm not the only one.
I know somebody who got a certain poker hand (Jack-Ten) tattooed on his arm. I feel , play online chess ...
Plans — What do you do to create a sucessfull plan? That's the million dollar question. The only planning technique I know is that of Silman, but I find it difficult to actually put into practice, especially because I tend to think that individual positions are sharper than they actually are, and I rarely t, play online chess ...
Gambits and Sacrifices — I recently have been messing around with a new opening--e5, d5, then d4. This I believe is called the queen's gambit but I could be wrong. I don't know much about gambits--I haven't had time to read many books--but I would be interested in learning more about them. I don't know the whole sequence, play online chess ...
The Games of Robert J. Fischer, Prodigy, GM & WC — This thread started for display and discussion of Bobby Fischer's Chess games. I'm happy to get the ball rolling with an oldie but a goodie: in Fischer's first WC game against Spassky, he plays 29...Bxh2 which, after Spassky's commonsense 30 g3, drops a bishop for two pawns. He goes on to lose, thou, play online chess ...
Burn Variation French — Hi there,
I've played the Burn variation in the French on a number of occasions.
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 dxe4. Now white usually plays Nxe4, however I played a game where my opponent played 5.Bxf6.
Now this move isn't played very much, and after the game I tried to look it up in som, play online chess ...
Short Draws — Should players be banned from making draw offers in an attempt to make chess more marketable? Absolutely not in general. Draw is a natural result of a chess game, besides noone has the right to interfere with the players' free will (except captains in team play).
So:
In a tournament where , play online chess ...
Paul Morphy ... — Apparently there has been differing info out there about Morphy. I recall dimly reading a CHESS LIFE article a couple decades ago, and a hodge-podge of articles or book sections/mentions over time (probably before that, mostly).
I do recall seeing one somewhere after that where it showed his g, play online chess ...
Around Dutch defence — a) Dutch defence (1. d4 f5) isn't very popular in top rated ames, is it? How do you think - why?
b) Anyway, there're Dutch players - and in Gameknot as well. It is interesting, which variation they play? Dutch defence players, - your word! Which schema does White ussually plays against you?
c) , play online chess ...
Philidor Position? — Recently I studied the Philidor and Lucena Positions. Although the Lucena is straightforward enough, I understand the basics of the Philidor but am not sure about how to apply it in an actual game situation or when exactly it comes up. I just finished this game, and I think that around move 66 I mis, play online chess ...
French Defence, What do you play as White. — Hi there,
A question for players who play the French defence as their main opening.
What openings would you play as white ? I know this is dependant on the response by black. Is it a similar setup to the French, or totally unrelated?
What was your thinking in choosing these setups ? ... f, play online chess ...
Pieces score in endgames. — I watched many endgames in which a player who has only a Rook doesn't win against another player who has only a bishop. Searching in Internet about this fact, I've found 90% Rook vs Bishop is a draw. And I know a player who has 2 bishops (without pawns) can win against a lonely king, while 2 knights, play online chess ...
