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.

  1. Nice. A good example of doing the math (counting squares) for the pawn promotion.

    Early on though black played 4...Ne5 which I think white would have been better off following up with f4. But he didn't and you played a good game.

  2. Thanks Joe. I agree, if f4 was played, I would have lost a tempo, or had to go to g6. I have a hard time making the right moves in the sicilian defense. Book says to go Nf6,g6 or e5 are the way to go in the open sicilian which is what Nc6 leads to. This is a main problem with my game, I make small mistakes in the opening and then end up with a challenging middle game.
    Thanks for the feedback.
