I’ve been looking at some of my games played a few years ago and just to post a game to go with these two games from chessgames, I’ve decided on this game HERE – for no particular reason. You can play through the game on the link. I played black.
End position of my game
One of my very old games, played in 2006- I was black and you can see my rating – not that I was really bothered to improve my rating, time to really think about moves, doesn’t exist in my life of full time teaching. [hehe] I liked how I was chasing my fellow countryman around on the board, whilst he was in a really strong position early on in the game.
A game played in 2005 – and I like how I used my bishops here. My opponent resigned on this point.
In this game – where I played black – I was lucky. My comments on this game: a very interesting game I’d played in a long time – well, that was in 2006. I like the checkmate in this game.
You can click HERE to play through the game.
In these next two chess games, you can see some bizarre chess openings…with a King… play through the first game on this link on chessgames.
Not that I think I’m the best chess player, but look at THIS GAME game, not sure what he was trying.
Have you seen The King and I?

Hoe sit jy vier koninginne op die boord sodat hul alle kwadrate slaan(? bedek?)?
:))
Hi Eugene, probeer jy my uitvang hier?? lol, jy speel nie skaak met 4 dames nie, tensy jy ‘n beginner is en nie weet hoe om jou opponent te skaakmat met een dametjie nie. 🙂 Edit: Hier’s ‘n puzzle vir jou om te solve. 🙂

Janee, dis net ‘n teoretiese problempie 🙂 Het dit baie-baje jare gelede in ‘n Russiese kindertydskrif (vir 11-15-jariges) gesien.
Een vir jou: 🙂 There are eight identical Black Queens in the first row of a chessboard and eight identical White Queens in the last row. The Queens move one at a time, horizontally, vertically or diagonally by any number of squares as long as no other Queens are in the way. Black and White Queens move alternately. What is the minimal number of moves required for interchanging the Black and White Queens?
Presies. En ja, agt koninginne. Dis ‘n grap EN ‘n teoretiese probleem.
Btw, how do you call in English and Afrikaans the square that is what call “under strike” in Russian? E.g. the squares which make crossing lines “under strike”, such as by a queen, a rook or a bishop? I mean, the square where the any of the opponent’s chessman can be attacked and seized, and the king is check?
Hi Eugene, do you mean – in Afrikaans – aanvallende posisie? Aanval-aanvallende – in English: attacking position? Is that what you mean?
I think you know enough of chess to play a game? 🙂
