I do have some nice games under my belt both OTB and on here.
Although I think more of the OTB games as they were played within
a few hours with warts and all.
I do however have a nice handful of games on here which I am also pleased with.
I have just added this to the best of my RHP games.
The games here differ from OTB as usually we are playing multiple
games at once (though in this case I had one game on the go, my opponent 40+)
You also have plenty time (usually if you keep your game load low) to
take it off the screen and throw the bits about in a full board.
Also there are moods.
I recall looking at the position before I sacced my Bishop (move 23).
I was glad I was given a reason not look at anything else because I
was not up for looking at anything else. I had been angling for 23…Ra3
but no need to think about that anymore. I’m off the hook and can go
and watch some TV.
I’ve noted up the following game in full and you can see my reasons for my choice
of moves. You will, if I have done it correctly, be able to see the moments
I’ve had a wee think, played a few moves, look again then played another mini plan.
You will also see none of my moves had in mind the finish that happened.
We got here Black (me) to play.
A lovely position to dive into. I set aside some time (got in the mood),
set it on my board and looked forward to wringing out every trick I could muster
You always look for forcing moves when solving puzzles and analysing in a game.
When the forced moves are spent and if it does not end in mate then assess the
position. If you don’t like it then try again.
The very first line I looked at it went on and on and on and on
as I was finding only moves for White.
“he must do this…he must do this…..then he must do this..”
The threats never end!
It was like slowly opening a Christmas present.
The more paper you took away the bigger the present got.
Try it. Black to play. it’s a 10 move combination and as far as I can see
White is forced into it.
Luck?
You betcha! I never saw the f3 idea until it was just appeared.
I never saw how good that pawn on b4 was till it popped up about 6 moves later.
(these are clues, but I’m sure a vast majority of you won’t need them).
So off you go. Black to play.
Just keeping checking or threatening things and open up the Christmas present.
Here is the full game.

I mention Bronstein. It was him more than anyone that turned me onto the King’s Indian.
His ‘Chess Struggle in Practice.’ is a selection of good books within a book.
Although he never did the bulk of the work. Vainstein did that.
But you can see Bronstein’s comments all over the book especially when it comes to
the King’s Indian positions.
