Tournament Game Annotated- Fun Analysis for the Beginning Chess Player


Rule #1: Most any opening is playable.
Rule #2: They're more like guidelines than actual rules.
Rule #3: Don't be hasty.
Rule #4: Don't panic.

Interesting and enjoyable analysis. Thanks for posting.
That said, there appears to be a recent chess.com update that makes reviewing your analysis much harder. Every time I click the arrow-button forward, the board displays the next move but then shifts all the text back to the very top. If I want to read your comments, I have to continually scroll down. Even clicking directly on the moves causes the text to reset. Is this only on my end, or is anyone else noticing this? It seems to happen for all forum-games I'm looking at lately.

Thanks for the comment. I did notice this and have written to chess.com about it. Hopefully there will be a fix for it soon.

Good analysis, well played game and a cool, aesthetic checkmate to top it off! It's really nice when you get to slowly push your opponent to a situation where they just can't find any moves that improve their position. Then just wait for them to crack and lash out. And it's twice as pleasing when you do it with the black pieces. Good stuff!

That thing with the board is not just annoying , it makes it impossible to watch the game on chess.com boards. I wonder if we should report it somewhere.
I agree. What's going on? I used to like it when the text followed the moves.
It looks like they've fixed the issue. Hopefully that's true on others' computers as well
