Game Of The Week
By Anthea Carson
I read a post by James Powers that Paul Anderson beats people up in the endgame. That made me feel better about my recent loss to Paul, in which I lost totally in the endgame. I was not losing coming out of the middle game, in fact I might have even had a slight advantage.
We both had dark squared bishops. Due to several zugzwangs and some moves where I simply didn’t understand what was going on, I ended up with my pawns all on dark squares and my bishop unable to get to other side of the board to protect them...
