a.k.a. Nf3em

For a start, here is a 15-min game with ICC computer ... I play White ...

 

After the game I checked the computer's setting and found-out that the rating is only 1400 and that explains the move 10... Bxg4

hope reader will learn something from my batil's analysis

Nice game and annotations.

thnx bro ... ;-)

@aalekhine68:

well, siguro para sayo hindi pang-2300 yung puzzle kasi madali para sa'yo ... at hindi naman ibig sabihin na pang-2300 yun, ang punto dun is solving that puzzle enable me to finally surpass the 2300 barrier ...
