I'm proudest of this game because it involved a pretty deep sacrifice that launched an attack lasting 13 moves until I blew it on move 26. At the time, I was a 1500 vs a 1900 player so I figured the only thing was to keep him on the back foot. Plus, as usual, he played a crappy opening that opened up the King side. Even though I lost, I still regard it as my best to date because of the ideas behind the sacrifice which was sound.

Originally posted by AmauroteI have to laugh to (not at) your question. I have absolutely no idea, because there were no principles. At the time I was plain annoyed because I thought it was disrespectful of my rating, so I looked for ways to to see how I could punish him for taking the bishop out of play.

health reasons, I was being tested for cancer and I didn't have the mental or physical strength to think about chess. Life is more important than chess. I make mistakes too by the way, I'm not perfect, some really bad ones too mind you.
Game 1051959
I like this one the best because its a great example game of a lot of possitional concepts like: playing to exploit the weak square on d5 from the opening, and playing for a space advantage, a good vs bad bishop. I think I'll write an artice about it sometime.
Does anyone have any comments/analysis on this game?:
Game 1504647

Any comments/analysis greatly appreciated.
