Chess Update

Yes, it's been a long time since I've updated the blog.  Real life getting in the way.  I've joined Chesscube.com (now merged with Chess.com), which I recommend for ease of use... all I need to do now is work out how to post my games here without having to do anything lengthy like cutting and pasting!

I've been playing the King's Gambit to good effect as white, so that'll probably be the subject of the next post!

In the meantime, here are some of my other Chess games that I've analysed here on this blog.

My earliest online Chess game
My very earliest Chess game (it was even earlier than I thought)
The Chess game I'm most proud of -
where I made the situation too complicated for my opponent, causing him to lose a piece; I then found a fork and finished off with a piece sacrifice
 
The strangest game of Chess I ever played - 1. d4 d5 2. c4 b5
I was not sure what I was supposed to do with that; apparentl I was supposed to play 3. c4xb5, but played 3. c4xd5 and immediately and unintentionally took my opponent out of his prep.

The Chess game I'm least proud of

I got greedy, tried to hold onto a pawn that I should have given back, and expended a lot of time and effort on it, instead of protecting my King (on the other side of the board)
