We need more amateurs to post their annotated games.


No. When you take a look at the game of Shepi, then can you see that he shares what he has learned from the position. That is where this thread is all about. Not that you receive something, but that you give something. Shepi will have learned in the same time something, because he has written down those variations. That is a good way to learn variants.
I looked at his game, but did not know any contribution to his variants. I play that variant with black and have tried several times to play Ne5. I lost every time after that move. It did not bring me what I was hoping for. Now I see it again, so I am convinced now that Ne5 is not a good move in that position.
The entire Bd7 line is refuted, at best it leads to a position where black has 5 pawns for a rook that should be better for white (after an exchange sacrifice on c3 and a knight sacrifice on f3). It is very difficult to play for either color though.
More common lines after 9.0-0-0 are d5 and Nxd4 I believe.
Thx , i think i took the ideas of Deep Fritz- Kramnik's last game where the computer plays Re1-Re3-Rg3 and i was really impressed how clean his attack was!

I think this is just a common attack I haven't really seen before - Colle System is not one I'm that familiar with and I didn't analyse the sac - at what point was black lost?

Studies are working!
Greetings Group!
My last match. 1 game a day. The ratings are pretty equal so u can say it was a balanced match where both parts had equal chances to win.-
