Hi, "chess hustlers" I am Vladimir Kramnik president of your Hall of fame, it is world champioship time and I am about to beautifully beat Garry Kasparov, I have been told that you just won a beautiful match why don't you post your game to this forum and let us all see it, please add a comment at the top of the game interactive diagram explaining how you felt at the different stages of the game..

 

oh sorry! we almost forgot we even have a present for you, besides that beautiful trophy you just won, we are also going to provide you with a free tactics training database to help you increase your playing strength and with that increase your rating as well all you need is go to this site http://www.chessbase.com and make sure you download the chessbase light (is free) at the upper right on that page, once you have it downloaded go to this other page http://wwwu.uni-klu.ac.at/gossimit/c/tactic.htm and download the 3rd file from the button of the page containing 3500 tactical training positions, unzip the file, once you have unziped the file all you have to do is double click on the file (you may see several files) and chessbase light is going to automatically open the tactical training database for you, bouble click on one of the games, BINGO!, now seat back and relax as you go from one position to the other by just clicking on your F-10 key, make sure that once you have your position up you click on game menu at the top and make sure you uncheck the arrow options so you won have to look at those annoying arrows pointing out the answers for you while you work on your tactical exersises 

 

note:you can figure out which side is to move and win by looking at the very top of your game window if it is 0-1 it means black wins so it should be black the one to move and win, if it is 1-0 it means white wins so it should be white the one to move and win, make an effort not to look and the solution notation untill you have gave it a try, please don't focuss to much on this kind of tactical training, trainings like the ones we have at "the chess hustler Hall" of 1.e4 , "the chess hustler Hall of shame", Max Euwe corner forums etc and playing games are as important if no more important than tactical trainig, solving five to ten tactical training positions a day is more than enough all you are looking for with this kind of training is raise your tactical awareness to help in your games and not to become a tactical problems solver

oh I almost forgot, I have another present for you.. a website containing some of the greatest games ever played, most of this games are commented, just make sure you click on the viewr for each game and look at the comments which usually appear under the games viewer. enjoy! here is your present http://www.geocities.com/lifemasteraj/best_games.html

here is one of my recent games, I think it is a nice game to show in our Hall of fame not exactely because the game was a beautiful game which in fact was not, but because of ilustrates how to take advantage of your opponent's piece placement when he doesn't make the best decisions, please read my comments as you play through the game, enjoy!

 

A wonderful game, DeepNF3

I've got one that illustrates a good point.  My opponents pieces become a bit disjointed as he tries to attack.  Lurking in the background are my queen and bishop, threatening to operate on the diagonals to his king.  So I act fast and sacrifice or offer sacrifices of my rooks to open the diagonals.  There are lots of potential discovered attacks.  And in the end the Bishop rules.

very nice game/very creative, I also like your line choice to face the Alapin 2.c3 sicilian transposing into an indo Benoni setup, very master like game on your part, a hall of fame one, indeed

 

   Well, I think this one fits here, I called this one -Give me my pieces back-

                  

                                               

I made a Knight sacrifice and then a Queen sacrifice to come back and win this game via checkmate, was a very fun game, just thought i'd share!

 

 very interesting action towards the end of the game, congratulations!
