We need more amateurs to post their annotated games.

Flangribaz: great game! He really didn't handle the activity of your pawn sac well at all, but you played very decisively and directly. 11. a4 would have given white a much better game, you're right. I guess he just didn't expect you to give up the pawn.

yuendat - the idea is that you annotate the game...

Tried to post 2 annotated games I spent 40 minutes on and then they disappeared :( will repost them tomorrow

I think if you take too long composing a post, it gets lost. Try posting one at a time.

Thanks for the tip

I just came up with a line to combat 11. a4.  I said in my comments that the plan of ...Bd7 ...Rb8 and ...b5 would take a long time, but white still hasn't developed his light squared bishop or castled yet, so I might actually have time to do that.

For example: 11. a4 Bd7 12. Be2 Rb8 if 13. 0-0 b5 anyway.  13. a5 gives me some problems though.  I think at that point the queenside is locked up permanently, so I'll have to switch plans and play on the kingside.  Something like ...Ne8 and ...f5. 

I think I qualify, being rather new to this wonderful game. So, here is one of my games, heavily annotated, with the notes I took during the game. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Thanks! 

Warning the following game should not be viewed by those who favor white in the KID: Four Pawns Attack. Nor should any of the annotations be taken to seriously. Thank You

here is another game.  How was my endgame technique

Are you kidding me, gabriel...! This is not a little useful for me. It's great! Thanks a lot!  You rook!  Thank you so much!

Here's a game I played last night, game 90, OTB.  It bears some similarity to the last one I posted.

Hi Flan.... I only have one comment. Could be an answer to your question. 

16. Nf2, maybe he wants to avoid a double pawn on the h-file after ...Bxh6.

To be honest, I think black would be ill-advised to trade a bishop for a knight while down a pawn- all the imbalances seem to favor white.  Bxh3 looks like a mistake to me.  This guy was a master- maybe he saw something I didn't?  Or maybe he just thought his knight was better positioned on f2 than h3? 

Maybe. I don't know. I just gave you my thought. And yes, a Bishop for a Knight in this position doens't seem like a good idea. But a Bishop for a Knight, and a double pawn on the edge of the board, might be worth it.

Lets try this again, a few days ago I played 2 games against the same player, in the first one I got trampled and he eargly offered a rematch (no doubt for some easy rating boosts). I just as eagrly accepted, keen on some redemeption. I got it in the second game playing probably one of the best combo's I ever have and definetly the best I have ever in live chess.

The first:

 Sorry I forgot to flip it in time :P I was black. When I first picked up this game again, I was very bad agaisnt knights. Kept getting forked and tricked and ya so I started to do this thing where I would look ahead 2 moves possible for my opponets knight (all of them, thats something like 56 possible moves per knight[because I would exclude the knight moving back to where it was]) and it worked :D I got to the point where i could glance at a knight, and see if it had any opprotunites coming up. But then I became over confident or moved on to another fault and it is apparent in this game it's come back to haunt me. I shall surely start to work on it again!

And now the game where I came outta no where and killed it:

This game shows why I prefer bishops to knights, I'm better at them. I'm also very comfortable with the opening I played. He left almost instanteously almost resigning so I couldn't offer a rematch. Overall I think I did ok in the 2nd game. Thoughts on them both? Any explanations for his moves I didn't understand? Thanks in advance, sorry the anyalyse came so late, I think I did better the first time because it was only an hour after I played them, oh well :P 

Cheers!

Here's an online game I played in a tournament just recently. I played black. My opponent's fighting spirit inspired me, and I need to say this:I accidentally switched the ratings around!

I think some people are confused by posting their "annotated" games.  People want to see what you were thinking when making the moves not just what happened. (HERE IS AN EXAMPLE FROM BOBBY FISCHER ENJOY)
