My blog - endorsed by GM Spraggett (annotated game included!)

GM Kevin Spraggett, whose excellent chess blog I've been following for years, has been kind enough to place a beautiful endorsement of my own blog, on piano playing, in his. 

Go to http://kevinspraggettonchess.wordpress.com/2013/09/26/smart-tips-on-playing-piano/). 

There's now also a post about him on my blog - www.itzhaksolsky.com - which, I hope, is entertaining and informative as well.

For your pleasure, I include here a beautiful Sicilian Najdorf game, where he outplayed GM Sokolov, who was world no. 3 at the time, on the way to the Candidates Quarter-Finals. The year was 1988, and the annotations are mine. 

Due to an interesting suggestion by <Elubas> on comment #3, the game and its commentary were moved to their new home, which is comment #4 :-)

And this is where my comment to black's 39th move, one of Elubas' favorites as you'll see in the next comment down the thread, was originally included - in its unedited version.

I have a tip for you: make a new diagram/game, copy the old pgn, paste the pgn, put in your new comment, and now you have the same annotated game but with the new comment.

Then again, that said... it's actually a pretty instructive comment to have on display :)

Lol :-) I'm glad that you liked it...

So here's a new and edited version of the same PGN - and you'll even notice, that black's 39th got an edit to it!

Thanks for caring and posting on my thread! Nothing is lonelier than seeing like 200 views of my post - but no comments other than my own...
