It was quite a lengthy answer and I didn't want to take up too much space here on your blog.<BR/><BR/>Now I am on to analyzing game 2 of that tournament!<BR/><BR/>Have a good one,<BR/><BR/>TommyGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-30215680577607981822008-08-06T13:38:00.000-05:002008-08-06T13:38:00.000-05:00I love these posts, especially since I am making a...I love these posts, especially since I am making a cursory read through of the same tournament book right now!<BR/><BR/>I just got done my first big analysis of one of my own games using the method my coach has given me. It is fun and VERY enlightening! He wants me to use the same method on master games once I have a few of my own games under my belt.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the posts on the Hastings Tournament!<BR/><BR/>TommyGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-55276722494550033092008-08-06T08:29:00.000-05:002008-08-06T08:29:00.000-05:00Extreme mustaches > muttonchops.

Although it would be hilarious if muttonchops made a comeback.<BR/><BR/>Reading about masters like Schechter starting serious chess late gave me hope starting tournament chess at 20.<BR/><BR/>There's something to be said for talent and hard work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-4069812494376047522008-08-05T21:28:00.000-05:002008-08-05T21:28:00.000-05:00I think that in the first game the thinking usuall...I think that in the first game the thinking usually goes that the doubled e-pawns will quickly be liquidated after d3-d4. That it didn't happen in the game doesn't necessarily mean that the doubled e-pawn was going to be a liability.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806739706997072947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-26645770644331047052008-08-02T22:08:00.000-05:002008-08-02T22:08:00.000-05:00Good job as always!

Shouldn't there be a fighting spirit in chess? An eagerness for battle? I still like the "whiskey guy" (Blackburne, was it?)<BR/><BR/>It took me a moment to figure out why Qxf6+ was a good move...then it hit me...setting up a family fork (royal fork?). <BR/><BR/>Take it easy man, keep up the good work!Our Swordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625473527059930239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-23564215751018406252008-08-02T18:15:00.000-05:002008-08-02T18:15:00.000-05:00Just in case those who are not in the know: http:/...Just in case those who are not in the know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship_1910_%28Lasker-Schlechter%29<BR/>In 1910, Schlecter was the main contender against Lasker's 16 year reign as a World Champion and almost won in the final round. After missing a win then a draw, the match ended 5 and 5 which favored the defending champion, LAsker. <BR/>There is debate on whether the 2-point ruled was necessary to defeat the former champion.
