In October 2015, five USCCI members went to Zamboanga to participate in chess. It was our first experience to compete outside of our province of Sulu. Of course, our first attempt to play outside of Jolo was to join the tournament in Tawi-Tawi p...
This is a game with my friend Dawood Felix of the UAE International.
Take advantage of the pinned pieces. Pile more attackers towards it. Then win it.
Opposite side castling is always exciting. The only hassle is how to mate the opposing King, not how to formulate a winning but difficult strategic decisions.
This game just finished a while ago. I am sharing this to you, maybe it would make you smile, as well as get enlightened.
This is an official tournament in Chess.com. I played it positionally though many of my friends suggested a more fitting finale.
My favorite game for this year. Hope you like it. My opponent is fairly strong. Thank you for viewing the game and reading my notes.
Here, I truly enjoyed the game because of the successful trap that Black fell into. This is still the 2nd Summer Chess Tournament in Sulu.
No matter how comfortable your position is, you should not let your guard down. You need to play the game until either there is mate at the board or your opponent resign. Here, I got carried away with my winning position that I neglect to analyze ...
This was a real fight. This was the first Tournament of the USSC in April 30 to May 5, 2015.
The United Sulu Chess Club in Jolo, Sulu held a back-to-back Summer Tournament in Sulu last April and May. I would be sharing some highlights of the tournament here in installments. This game was specially appealing to me because of the tactic...
Rene Descartes The question "Who am I?" is a difficult question to answer, especially if you are not yet sure of what "identity" you really belong. Are you a Tausug, a Bangsamoro, or A Filipino? The why's of existence Ev...
The game seamleasly transfer from opening phase to the endgame phase almost out of the opening. Centralisation is also important even in the endgame.
This game is an example of a Flank Attack. It frequently happens in games of the non-master like us. Who creates weakness first in the enemy's side, must win the game.
This is an example of tenacity of plans in a game of chess, that is, holding on to the previous plans no matter what the consequences, avoiding variations that could have won some materials in exchange of a clear-cut plan of using pawns as batteri...
This game illustrates the point that sometimes, pieces can be shed one after another when there is chances that the King will fight out in the open without artillery support. In chess, a naked king will surely meet his doom soon.
After embedding to a webpage, is there a way that we can adjust the embedded chessboard to conform with our webpage, example blog site? I was trying to embed the html code: <iframe border="0" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" width="620...
When I want not to think so much, I choose the Queen's Gambit. But indeed, there are still fireworks, especially when you decide to drink Coffee or Kahawa Sug.
It is sometimes important to give your opponent the illusory feelings that they have the initiative. So that they may become careless, and they will throw the initiative back to you. Of course, it is hard to defend when your opponent is strong tha...
In the opening, mobilisation is important. It is the fatest way to develop your pieces from their original square to a more commanding post towards the center. When your opponent neglects this area, you might have the opportunity for a quick attac...
I like this game because of the tricky finale, which I was so happy to have found the good moves and played them well. Hope you enjoy the game. God bless.
