Survival Mode - One of the Craziest Comebacks of my Career
Hi Chess Friends,
Last week I played one of the most intersting endgames of my life against a higher rated player in the DC Chess League. After a crazy opening, I blundered and found myself down two pawns for essentially no compensation. Fortunately, I was able to cause problems for my opponent throughout the game, even as he kept playing good moves, and reached a winning rook endgame. Eventually, a near miracle occured and I even managed to win.
If you want to solve a few puzzles from the game, I've posted them here: http://www.chess.com/blog/CoachJKane/tactics-from-a-swindle
The game is complicated enough that I'd be happy to look into any suggested improvements or questions about the game. I hope you enjoy it.
