Payback Is Sagacious

Greetings,

The US Championships are going on right now. You can see the official tweets on my home page (even if you are not on Twitter) to stay current on the results until May 13th.

I took some pictures during the blizzard at the Wednesday Night Panera tournament:

Chris Peterson publishes my loss from the Colorado Closed Challenger on his Youtube channel. So, I added it to this week's newsletter. His videos with LM Brian Wall were the reason I got on Youtube way back when.

Game Of The Week

This week's game comes from the Colorado Closed Challenger. It is now the third episode in my Challenger Trilogy:

Episode One: I'm Gonna Play Like I'm 1999 (http://cschess.webs.com/apps/blog/show/25854707-i-m-gonna-play-like-i-m-1999)
Episode Two: The Thrill Of Chess Victory (http://cschess.webs.com/apps/blog/entries/show/26033460-the-thrill-of-chess-victory)

I wasn't planning on writing about this event so much, but the fates have conspired against me. My one loss in the event was to Chris Peterson. The one person in the event who publishes his games is Chris Peterson. I used to like Chris Peterson. Now I think of him like the '85 Dolphins, as he ruined my undefeated tournament.

Chris Peterson was in my head from the second I sat down at the board, as he promised to publish my loss on his Youtube channel (www.youtube.com/user/sagacious00004). I was over-thinking every move and wasting tons of time on phantoms. When I decided to speed things up a bit, I came up with this atrocious idea.

The White Knight attacks the Rook and defends the Pawn. How could it be wrong? See if you have the same keen discernment as Chris did by finding the best move.
