Share an interesting game you played
04 Dec '12 20:151 editIt doesn't even have to be good. I didn't play too well in this game and dropped a piece, but it had an interesting ending. What interesting games have you played?

Well played and nice annotations. You seem to understand the game very well. I always hoped this would come with experience, but unfortunately I'm still waiting to see the light.

That's why I don't like Bxc3+, because even though you double white's pawn, your d6 square looks incredibly weak. White allowed you to trade off his dark squared bishop so it didn't really matter in the end, but just something to remember.
Here's a game I wanted to start a thread with earlier today, but for some reason it wouldn't let me...
and I just checked, and it STILL won't let me start a thread with this pgn showing, even though it will let me post it here... very strange
Anyway, the interesting part of this game is probably in the mid game, where both the d and e files had r ...[text shortened]... signing.... honestly what is the point in that lol} 0-1[/pgn]

I actually really liked your move 15...Ba6. Pressures the c4 pawn, and Black can't take on d7 because of the e2 Bishop. But I think your dark squared weaknesses really could've come back to bite you. For instance, after 10. e5 Ne4 11.Qd3 Qa5 12. Rc1 12...Nc5 (12...d5 13.exd5, 12...f5 13.f3 and it pretty much transposes) 13.Qd4, and white is really active ...[text shortened]... tive, and white has to worry about some sort of Bxe3 stuff if he ever moves his knight.

The knight that couldn't be taken...
