Hey everyone! Since I'm going to be on a mini-holiday starting from tomorrow until the end of the weekend, I'm going to post one or two relatively recent games that I feel are significant to me (as well as one older, but nevertheless very special game... you'll see), and then I'd like to start something a tad bigger, so I was wondering if you could help me out. Namely, I feel that I've learned much about chess over the course of about the last two and a half years (compared to how I began), and would like to share some of the most interesting positions I've encountered with the members of Chess.com. After all, it's all in the title. I'll probably post the first few positions in the forums, and then slowly move to my own humble blog http://blog.chess.com/Dimitrije_Mandic , but how many positions do you think I should collect before starting? 30? 50? 100? Just name your suggestions, so I can know when to start! Smile

Also, you could tell me if I should organize the positions chronologically, by theme, or perhaps even by difficulty (although I'm by no means an expert on estimating how difficult an example is, especially when it's from a game of mine)...?

Oh, I forgot to mention, I've currently got about 600 saved won games, make that 650 when I retrieve some additional ones, so 200 positions should be excellent, right? Any other ideas regarding the whole collection concept?

Also, could you point me to your own similar collections, so I can see how it's done? Anyone?

I guess we can add this topic to my upcoming "My Top 5 Most Pointless Threads" list...

People going on "mini-holiday" shouldn't be allowed to post.

I go on a mini-holiday every night, after the second or third drink

A thread about nothing...that would make a great TV sitcom.

 This would be great! I would like to see some as well.

Just to give your post some credibility, just what makes your games and so many at that, so  appealing? Are you in expert rating or above, are you playing against big named chess players, or do you  have intersting games with  a new twist, with unusual endings? I would like to see one of your games and give you an honest opinion!

Any ways enjoy your vacation I am sure you earned it, and most of all have fun!!!Laughing

now I must move on and feed my dogs!!!

It would be nice if you post your long games and comment every move, if you post bullet - what's the point? Kingcrusher and the likes started somewhere, try giving more appealing heading...
