Fischer v Weinstein



Ruy Lopez opening as played by the great Bobby Fischer. Feel free to analyze the game and post your thoughts about what you see. 28. Nxe5 is a great move that gives white a pawn advantage, and more importantly, puts him positionally in a strong and threatening situation. Enjoy...

Nice Finish


Since I could not be with you all on Saturday, due to Valentine's Day festivities, I am posting a game that I am fairly proud of my play in.

This is a game I just finished on Chess.com. I sac'd a knight early to get a positional advantage and prevent his castling possibilities, and almost pulled it off. Actually, I should have won, but 42. Rxa7 was a mistake. I should have gone Rb7 instead and then Rb4, which would have controlled those pawns and I should have been able to promote the a pawn. An exciting game either way.
