One of the things I've been striving for is better rook activity. These two games are some fruits of my labor.
Originally posted by Jenn1482It was definitely a blunder, but you still needed to see the tactic, and it was a very nice one! I could see the game in one of Greenpawn34's blogs on the site.
And another 🙂 it seems I was only able to take advantage of a blunder here, but still I was giddy when I got to play 22. ...Rc4.

Nice buildup here ... but what about this shot:
[fen]1rr3kb/p4p1p/1q2p1p1/3bP3/3R1B2/2P4P/PP3QP1/1BK1R3 b - - 0 22[/fen]
22...Rxc3+!? with the idea 23.bxc3 Qxb1+ etc.

It's very realistic, too, in that it's forcing moves that are easier to calculate, not some esoteric line a computer would spit out. Definitely a theme to remember.
Originally posted by Paul LeggettRxc3 seems like a pretty standard 9.o-o-o dragon position/move to me. even if it wasn't reached the normal way.
