Hi there, here is a game I played in Copenhagen with a buddy of mine. If someone is interested to check it out then here it comes.

I mean he still is the stongest player in the world, and such a kind of patzer with about 2080 he should be able to kill even drunk and blindfolded, though playing a simul. I would really like...

2rq1rk1/7p/2Bpb1p1/3p4/3Ppn2/1N2Q2P/PPR2PP1/2R3K1 b Which move is best for black? (Computers probably won't find it). P.S It is a sacrifice.

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bc4 Bg4 (what a loser! oldest defense in the book, will they never learn?!?) 4. Nc3 a6 (stepping into a humiliating defeat) 5. Nxe5 Bxd1 (doesn't even know this line!!!) 6. Bxf7+ Ke7 7. Nd5# {White easily mates} 1-0

Hey, I have played this game with a friend, 2 hours / 40 minutes. I think this was a positional game if some is interested to analyze it. I have white. White :(Jacob) Black :(Rolf)

These lists are very informative and thus helpful for improving players, such as myself. Have you ever heard of the maxim: "Attack yourself and defend your opponent first, before you attack your opponent and defend yourself"? This would apply to looking ahead before you make actual moves, and not apply to making moves on the board. Who would really make a move to weaken his/her own position...

Only 10 games out of the 23,000+ in my collection of Vieena games reached this position; White won 3 and Black won 5 for a 60% performance for Black. When...

It seems that a lot of people tell me that they got better from playing and not reading any books. Or maybe just read 2-3 books. what is the deal? How come so many people say you need books to get better?

Hello, i played this Game 2 Weeks ago. The time limit was 40 Moves / 2 hours.... the game was stopped by darkness (21:30 o´clock in the evening), so we both had agree a draw. Greetings, Michael Neyses

Hi! I have come across two positions, which are claimed to be wins for white, however I cannot seem to find any way to win the positions. Also I have no idea where they came from, only a sort of code suggesting that they are part of a test suite or some other collection. Here are the games, in FEN/EPD notation:

In an old game against Matanovic the great David Bronstein once tried, after the standard Vienna Gambit moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 d5, the unusual 4.d3. This move is trickier than it looks, as the correct reply is the not so obvious 4...exf4! Bronstein got nothing after 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Nxd5 Qxd5 7.Bxf4 Bd6 8.Bxd6 Qxd6. NCO gives this game and line (=/+), and a few other side lines after 4.d3 as...
