Oh dear! what is the excuse?
I like some of your Grob ideas. I must try and incorporate them into my games although I fear you are far better than me.

Originally posted by KorchI also realized that you castled real late on this game but couldn't find a way for black to explore it. And on a sidenote when are we going to see your annotations for the reversed Grob against David Tebb. I'm sure a lotta people are waiting for it. I know I am.

Originally posted by KorchThat's a good thing. I thought that your game load was an impediment but still I had to ask. By the way how do you learn to annotate a game? I think that first you must have to learn how to play propper chess isn't it?
I have started my annotations but due to my gameload I still haven`t finished it.
Originally posted by adam warlockRight you are. Good annotator must have good understanding of chess. (good understanding and good play may not be the same).

I have read many books and many annotations. Especially i like annotations of Lasker, Tarrash, Nimzovitch, Alekhine, Bronstein, Tal and Kasparov. Also I like annotations of GM Shipov.
Originally posted by KorchI'll try to find some of those books. Particularly the Lasker, Tal, Bronstein and Kasparov ones. And for now My System by Nimzo will have to do the trick for me.

Ouch!
In well known game Basman – Keene, Manchester 1981 black did play 5…Bd6!? 6.Nc3 Ne7 7.g5 Be6 8.h4 Nf5 black got large advantage and won easily. After that game Keene declared that Grob is refuted, but this conclusion is not serious. - White should have play 7.Qb3! (instead of 7.g5?? and after 7….0-0 8.Bg5 f6 9.Bd2! white have some plus.
