Super  game  ,  that  is  my  style  , i  am  fan  of  this  style  of  playing  chess ,  winning  with  attack  in  middle   of  the  game .

Good game. Yes I got how to procede :-)

Congratulations on a new child. I remember when  my son was born--I was so  happy. It was a lot of work, but well worth it. So again, congratulations.

And thank you for your kind comment on my silly blog.

:-)

Wow.  This game is so "clean".  Even I can understand why most move were made.

Mrs. Pogonina:  You are a dragon?!  From Maya?!  I thought they were all lost when the Mayans went caput.  Where did you go?  Were you involved in the chess match between cortes and Montezuma?  Why haven't you been attending the quarterly dragon conferences?

good

johns076, thank you for pointing that out, you're right. I must have got confused somewhere. I corrected my comment.

MaddFunn Point taken, I will try to comment in more detail on the game, why certain moves are good/bad, the otb psychology, etc.

PardalsemCasa Thanks! Yes, it is.

I know the pic during the game is just a moment in time, but you look like my state of attention back in Mrs. Reddsteiner's 10th grade geometry class.  lol  The old bat, I wonder what happened to her.

Anyway, clever moves that would've given me a heart attack.  Continued good luck...  :)

Thanks for sharing..

Hi Mrs. "legendary female Dragon from the myths of the Maya civilization" (I just can't forget this),

Ocheni horoshaya igra no dlya nas ploxix ugrokov mozhno pobolishe annotatzui?

Thank you for the pictures and instructional game.
Is it only me that find it strange that some take offence at the fact that there exist chess players that are attractive, and are of the opinion that sharing pictures of themselves in a chess tournament somehow lowers the moral fiber of such an event ?

I for one am grateful for the opportunity to take in the atmosphere of a chess competition of such quality, especially since I most likely will not be able to attend one myself, and I appriciate the effort that you undertook to share that event with us.

instead of 21. Rh3,  21. Ne7+ Kh8 22. Nxg6 fxg6 23. Re7 Qxa1 24. Bf1 finds a quick and easy win.

Jaerun, I did see that comment, but it still doesn't make sense. He has a neutral score in that opening, so he is not an expert. And Natalia has played that opening and won.

So "gotta be carlsen to play this" would make sense if Carlsen was successful in that opening and she failed, it's the contrary.

EDIT:

Nevermind, I was wrong, sorry .

Great game. Thank you for sharing.

The title comes from the comment in the first variation shown in the move list, after 10. Qxd6: 

It's interesting that this unusual position has occured in Carlsen's games twice - once he won it as Wh[i]te, once he lost it as Black. Now Black may instantly play

She is pointing out that it is an unusual position in a rarely played line that she encountered, and discovered that Carlsen had played two games with a similar variation.

Then again if people are too lazy to click through the move list, I can see why they would be confused~

May all your dreams come true!

Methinks that the game was quite instructive, though on some instances you could have explained for the lay person why certain moves were bad (one of the things I like about GM Bhat's column).  You had a good idea about enticing us with the carlsen title thingy, but unless it had any kind of significance to the article itself that I utterly missed, it was a bad idea.  I would suggest getting carlsen to do a column, but he's questing with me at the moment, and is therefore unavailable.

Thanx for this article about your return to chess playing, and was very instructive, even after you were out for your baby. Blessings for being a mom and a WGM... I think your soon will play chess in near future...
