Recently became a non-premium member while I'm inbetween credit cards and as a result have lost some of my archived games. Sadly this means my blog is going to be missing a few games in my chess development. This jumps into one of my games...
In this game, game explorer let me build to a middle game and look at enough other games that were similiar enough to my position to show me what I needed to do to win. Without it I'm sure i would have made a positional blunder. Inst...
In this game white plays like I used to in high school. This brought back alot of memories and allowed me to turn what appears to be a strong mating attack into whites downfall. I think this stands as the biggest upset in a kiwi only tourn...
Random game I'd started to complete my 5 games so I could play in tournaments. I'm not sure what happened in the end game there but it just looks like I lost interest. I make a great (just boasting) tactical bishop sac which could have...
Grudge match - I believe I posted the first game I played against faith meteor. (Maybe passed pawn power or some such blog) Faith made a pretty early mistake which cost him the game. In this game I look to return the favour with ...
Hey new players. Avoid doing what I did in this game and you will get far. What an awesome chess lesson... right? I had to stop commenting on the moves because well I'm losing my ability to keep my eyes open. I eagerly await your a...
Okay, so I'm a bit bored but wanted to continue with the tradition of blogging my games. There were a few mistakes I made in this one that weren't really seized on by my opponent... any comments as to the game play or my analysis is ...
This is an interesting game (I think) I would have really liked to have played it out without whites blunder. I have repayed the favour in the rematch game though. I think Faith is going to force a resignation before 20 moves. *s...
I found this position to be an interesting one, sadly the game ended all to quickly with white resigning (perhaps premature?) Feel free to attack me for leaving the players name attached, but I figure you can see the game from my played lis...
open game challenge 1350-1450 still on my quest to find my ratings range. Was looking to be a promising game I think until white had a positional meltdown that eventually resulted in blundering away rook then knight then queen. ...
Having not played many games on here yet and unsure of my rating range I did an open challange for 1250-1350 I think... My opponents rating dropped alot during the game... this game is nothing special but I am making a point of doing atleast some ...
This is I think the most peaceful checkmate I have ever done... I only take one pawn (after it rudely killed one of mine) and then send in the troops to capture the king. The noble black king was unwilling to let any of his officers die for...
Sadly my opponent made far too many mistakes in this game. Which was disappointing because I really wanted to see my strategy pushed in this game. Against a stronger player no doubt it would have been pushed back and I would have ...
This was a random challange on FB chess... clearly not the highest standard of play. I gave up the centre to go on the attack which worked out well for me (could have been # on 13 if I had seen it ... I really do suck) Really not happy...
Just using this blog as a way of viewing my past games and commenting on them thinking about what I could have done better etc. Feel free to critique in anyway you see fit. I'm pretty thick skinned
This is my third game of chess in a very long time. Just after any constructive critism (or even blatant outright "you suck" comments would do) as to how you think I did. I love chess, but have never put much study into it.&n...
