Benko is in his element in this game, as he quickly acquires a passed pawn on the 7th rank. However, it takes some fancy manoeuvring to get white's defense to crack. This he accomplishes in style. IMPORTANT: need some help, guys. A friend of mine...
Sergey Karjakin is at work in this game. Black's slighty odd development gives him the chance to storm his kingside with a double piece-sacrifice. After that, there is no return.
Here's a wonderful and I daresay instructive finish to a game between two storied opponents. One a great champion, and the other, a great hustler, and... the hustler comes out on top. There was a lively chess scene in the cafes of Edwardian Londo...

Here is an excellent game played by Michael Adams.
White concentrates his forces on the kingside, but black seems to hold while starting his own attack. Then comes a few missiles that blow open the black king from nowhere. A few pawns, supported by rooks, are all it takes to overwhelm black, even ...

So i'm reading a magazine, and i found this game. It's a very nice one, showing how to punish your opponent if he carelessly sets up an annoying pin. White breaks it in nice fashion, giving up his queen, to force a king hint all the way down to hi...

Here is a well played game by Michael Adams, but lost.
This game is a nice strategic masterpiece. White slowly maneuvers his pieces until the board explodes into a tactical battle. Sacrifices abound as the black king is slowly constricted and suppressed.
Here is a game I recently played that I was very proud of. This game relates to a theme of chess I've been trying to really work on which is creating weaknesses. In the past I found myself never exploiting the little weaknesses of the position bec...
