Fully annotated games for beginners
Great! I learned a lot from your 4th game. Your thinking is really helping me understand tactics.
Going to check out the rest tomorrow.

Sorry for the major break, I had some problems with my computer. This next game was decided by a blunder, not my ability to exploit the position. Anyway I'd like to post it because there was a lot going on in it. Enjoy.
Your last post (game 6) was very mature in its analysis. It was very objective, too, which is something I find hard to do in an analysis of my own games.

Next one. Have fun.

18. Nxf3 defends the pinned d2 knight, removes the h4 knight from the attack, and takes your advanced f-pawn. (White could also play this on move 17, which would be even better, but still losing.) 17. ... Bxh4 to remove a possible defender of the pinned knight may be better. Of course, with a material advantage like that, it's not too important.

Good games. Myself being around 1400, I could see many similarities in way the play was carried out.
>> Exchanging peices to avoid overtly strong tactics.. where a flash of brillaince by contemporary or weaker players leave me in lurch. Of course, I can too have flash of geniuses, but it would be like gamble, i simply like pushing my opponent, and waits till he make a mistake.
>> And having soem general ideas about opening.
In your last game 25 Rxe3 is free. YOu have your eyes on second Q, but it will lead to immediate bank rank mate.
You must prevent it by moving a king's pawn ahead, thus white wins a rook there.

phbookworm: No, it's not mate, I have another rook guarding the home rank.
That was a great game to post. I know that oftentimes a beginner will fret when someone makes so many pawn moves in the opening. Theory tells the beginner not to respond similarly, yet the seemingly unbreakable pawn structures can be intimidating. Your game demonstrated how staying calm and developing can win against a fencing of pawns.
