More of my games.

Game 3 (5-12-2006) Division 6
Nice knight sacrifice, for two pawns, providing both much needed defence, and attacking prospects.




Game 1 (21/11/2006) Division 4

And the usual 1.f4 action. I'm a Bird opening addict! Moves 18-23 (23.Re5!) are a good example of creating advantage out of thin air.

A draw to remember!




Moro in time trouble (2 minutes on the clock) missed a chance for glory with:

38.Qd8+ Kg7 39.f6+ Kh6 40.Kh4!! Qxd4+ 41.g4 Qb4 42.Qf8! Qxf8 43.g5#

Nevermind, it's games like this that make him my favourite active player.

Movie of the week: The last kiss (2006)




Zach Braff's effort to top up Garden State is an engaging bitter sweet experience.
29 year olds in crisis, relationships realism and yet another worthwhile soundtrack.
Worth watching, even if you're not around 30!

Good queenside play.


And a good one..

Calculated, merciless attack!


A bad game..

Thinking only about attacking and creating complications does not pay off!
