This extremely brilliant game shows Kotov in his element as he sacrifices his queen and proceeds on a king-hunt lasting nearly 20 moves. He demonstrates why it is never good to let your guard down. NOTE: ANNOTATIONS FROM THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF THE WO...
So this famous game Tarrasch - Lasker was played almost exactly for 100 years ( august 1908 ) in my living town Duesseldorf (germany). It is the second game of the title match for worldchampionshp. Tarrasch, a very dogmatic chess player, had ch...
Paul Morphy, the "Pride and Sorrow" of chess, gives us another outstanding performance in this game played in 1858. Al Horowitz considers this game in his "Golden Treasury of Chess" as "The most brilliant of Morphy&qu...
We all face lost positions, with seemingly no chance of saving the game. Therefore, why not counterattack? You have, of course, nothing to lose...
In the following Ruy Lopez, Sidney Norman Bernstein of New York (1911-1992), author of "Combat: My 50 Years at the Chessboard" gives us a tasty demonstration of his amazing chess abilities. After move 16, he manages to separate...
Most everybody knows about the 4 move checkmate. But, many people don't. I have been playing chess for many years, and did not know it untill one month ago. Someone was tryng to pull it up on me...
Mikhail Tal is one of the best attacking players of all time. One of his best ever games was the one in which he played Black against Bukhuti Gurgenidze and won with a wonderful sacrifice.
This is my favorite completed game. Leave comments about anything you want to reguarding the game
Weird positions call for unusual moves! That's probably what Anand would tell you in this victory where he leaves en prise, among other things, his queen and bishop. By the way, this is my last article before I head off to Texas for a much-nee...
In one of the critical games in this match, Kasparov repeats a daring gambit idea, knowing that Karpov's team has had over a week to prepare for it. The risk pays off, and his "octopus" knight on d3 prevents Karpov's pieces from ...
I recently played a fellow chess.com member and found the following game the most interesting yet. There was a lot involved tactically, some blunders that went unseen and more importantly highly educational. This game was from an organised t...
When we think of daring, attacking, sacrificial masters of the attack. Several names always come to mind. Andersson, Morphy, Blackburne, Marshall and, perhaps first and foremost, Mikhail Tal. But there is another name that deserves to be listed am...
Here a nice chess puzzle from the immortal game between Anderssen en Kieseritzky. It was played in 1851 in London. The best example of sacrificing in chess
This is the story of Govind Mohan Lal, affectionately known as 'GM'in the Chess Circuit! He had a bad day in the office and he was livid with himself. He had drawn his crucial 6th round game against his old foe that had pushed him into the...
We've all dreamt of creating our own Mona Lisa, and GM Serper is no exception. Imagine sacrificing ALL 7 pieces of yours, while also queening two pawns, in the space of 48 moves! Then you'll be prepared for this game. By the way, this article put...
Much as been said about one of the rules of chess: "Develop all of your pieces as soon as possible" yet there are players who fail to do this and paid a proce too high. Below there are a couple of miniatures played by me that shows the p...
Alright, I admit that I'm not a great player but this game is the best that I've played so far. Of course I must also give credit to my opponent who gave me this opportunity for the combinations. This game was played quite some time ago...
I'm certain most of you readers here would have lots of exciting chess games, whether it involves a dramatic greek gift sacrifice, or a brilliant zugwang in an endgame. However, have you ever played a game with such a massive attack ...
This is a puzzle that I found on youtube. You are not trying for mate. You are just trying to get into a position where you are definitely winning.
Here is a game from the XXI Magistral Ciudad de Leon, GM Ivanchuk - GM Shirov with full annotations and commentary: In this game we saw white take a slower approach in meeting the Sicilian Defense starting with 3. Nc3 as opposed to 3...
