Hey guys, here's a correspondence game I finished today. Got a bit lucky that Black didn't see my trap... But my opponent was rated 1820-ish and has played over 1000 correspondence games, so I don't feel too bad about it...

Here's a live game from May of this year that I finally got around to analyzing. The time control was 10 minutes with 5 seconds per move.

OK, so it's a little embarassing to post this one, because of how badly I blundered the ending, but it's a learning experience, right? This was a hard-fought game, but I guess I spaced at the end. I think there are some good moves in this game. Well done, Randy.

OK, so this was played at a time control of 15/5. Because it went almost 70 moves, it turned into quite a longer game than either of us were anticipating (and Randy was almost late to his meeting). On the last 30-40 moves, we both only had about 30 second on our clock, so it was a truly blitzed endgame, but I thought instructional. Thoughts?

This was played at a time control of 10 minutes per side, with 5 seconds added per move. So relatively fast. Randy made a Knight sacrifice that would have worked well, had I not had 13...Nfd7. It is easy to look back retrospectively and think that his Knight sac was bad, but at the time it worried me, and I probably spent a good 1-2 minutes working through that section of the game.

Here is a game we just finished, another QGA opening. Would love to hear your thoughts Gary.

Alright, well here is my analysis from our game. I enjoyed it and it makes me want to play 3.Qa5+ every time Black grabs the pawn...

Hey guys, here's a game from a few weeks ago with Ken. The English is pretty tricky to play...

Here's an Online Chess game that Ken (Kinghunter75) and I played last month. He always plays the Alapin against the Silician, and always beats me! That opening is my achilles heel... Anyway, would love to hear about any thoughts or ideas.
