    • My Best Game Today (King's Indian Attack)

      This game was played in 15|0 time controls in ICC servers, I was black. The game started badly for him as he lost a pawn very early in the game. There was a key position where I could have created a strong passed pawn which I missed, but I still m... | Read More

    • My Best Game Today (Sicilian Dragon)

      I would have loved to say that the game against Anand was my best game today but it didn't go the way I expected. It was a 22 move draw, in a position both sides could produce some active play. But I did play a nice game today in the white side of... | Read More

    • My Best Game Today (Grunfeld Defense)

      This one was played in ICC with 15|0 time controls. I usually don't play the middlegame very well against players in my rating if it is about manouvering/planning slowly. This was not one of those games. | Read More

      The game was in 23|5 time control and my opponent was a decent player. I wanted to play the Ruy Exchange but my opponent decided to use the shocker 3...f5!? | Read More

    • My Best Game Today (Scandinavian #2)

      So yeah, I decided to give this opening another try after my success with it last time. It went pretty well as I drew against a strong opponent. | Read More

    • My Best Game Today (Italian Game)

      Another game in ICC against a high rated opponent. Time control was 15|10. I had a look at many variations today in the Italian Game from a Turkish book I have and it proved to be very useful. This time when I saw 4...Qe7!? I had some idea what t... | Read More
