    Here's a very interesting 3 0 game that I just played at FICS.

    I lost the game, but I felt I did really well.

    Towards the end I was in extreme time trouble and did flag.




    27. ... Rxe4 ! was what I missed. (28.Rxe4 Qg6 ! )

    In the game, 28.Be3! would have exploited my mistake.

    All in all a very exciting game.

    I got my revenge in the next game but again only after an extreme time scramble.



    The time scramble started around move 30.

    I got the idea of this exchange and letting black double the kingside pawns for the g file from Blackburne's book of games.

    13.Bxf6 ! was a simple tactic that I overlooked. 🙁

    I have to give my opponent his due. He is one tough cookie. 🙂

    By the way, does anyone know the modern GM consensus on the Ruy Lopez Breyer. I know Spassky and Karpov used it. Does anyone use it anymore?

    A quick scan on www.chessgames.com shows Nigel Short and Wang Yue did play it last year, but to properly answer your question, Gata Kamsky is using it with reasonable success including a win over Peter Leko:

    Edit: Nice games by the way 🙂

    Thanks for the kind words and the info. I will have to take a good look at those games.
