Holy Cyclops

Now that I have the use of ChessImager (see previous post), I’ve been able to put a few “little lessons” in the chess section of my Web site with diagrams.  I have sections on playing for the endgame, on building walls, and on tempo moves, and a couple of other sections are planned.  I’m delighted!

I played Black against the club master last night, and although I lost, I’m happy, overall, with the game I played.  I played a Caro-Kann, he played his 1 e4 c6 2 Nc3 d5 3 Qf3 line–the one that caught me off-guard once before when we played–and I completely neutralized his advantage.  We wound up in an endgame with two bishops each and pawns on both sides of the board in a nearly symmetrical position, but somehow he managed to win.  I suppose that’s why he’s a master.  Of course, I missed a couple of his moves, including the one that won a pawn for him.

Tomorrow, I play in the First Saturday of the Month quads.
