Hi every1 this is ur fellow friend jokerman13. And i just recently started a newbie group known as *Rookies of stradgy* its a very kool group! The whole point of this new group for players 2 get better....and 2 disscuss stradgy and tactics etc. If u got a good game...u could post it and then the whole group is analize it with u. I personaly would ave a look at ur game...Mabe u missed a forced mate mabe u made an inaccuratcie etc. well anyways here is a link 2 the group if u feel like 2 join HOPE U DO! http://www.chess.com/groups/home/the-rookies-of-stratagy all u got 2 do is join the group! and ur in!

Guys!!! Awesome Job!, were winnnning!!!! i thought we were dead! but we are doing good! we all r going against people a bit higher then us but we came thru! (People Banned:Nathan, Am)

Here, I present a selection of games from which I think you guys might be able to learn a few things! The first two were played against fellow administrator jokerman13. Enjoy guys! I've provided annotations so as to help you try to understand my reasoning in the positions. Who knows, you guys may just teach me a few things from these games too! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Game #1: Jokerman13 Loses to the Sicilian This is a game against jokerman13 in which I used the Sicilian Defense as black to get the win. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Game #2: Putting a Little English on the Joker I manage to get the best of joker again, this time with the English opening. I don't really think my middlegame play in this game was very good, but you might be able to learn a thing or two from how I executed the checkmate. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Game #3: Early Pawn Storm = Trouble Chalk up another win for the Sicilian. White made crazy pawn advances in this game and ultimately succeeded in only depriving his king of defense in the end. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Game #4: French'd! Here's a game I won using the French Defense!
