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.

Larry v Jon



This is a game I played against Larry from the Akron Chess Club. I was way behind in pawns after the dust settled. If you see any flaws, please comment. Thanks!

The French Defense


I will be posting some openings out of a book I have recently bought. These are the main lines, and I am paraphrasing from the author, Bill Robertie, on the comments. The book is titled "Winning Chess Openings".
