Do you miss something? Are the elements clear? Vrijdag 21 maart 2008.

How much deeper do you have to calculate, and visualize to improve 100 rating points? What patterns do you have to master to do the same? Can you gain a significant number of ratingpoints without improving in both at the same time? Calculation level: 1 to 3 ply. Patterns: mate, capture, defend, promotion. Calculation level: 2 to 4 ply. Attack, eliminating defense, defending against mate.

He was winning,. But he didn't see it. And I escaped - as usual. Here is the game. This is the second game of the Gafni-Fischer match that was the quarterfinal round of the club championship. This was right before my trip to Las Vegas and it is not a very impressive game. I play horribly. It's interesting to note that Fischer deviates from the Najdorf he played against me in the past ( here. This was my first game analysis in a couple months. I am deciding whether to play tonight at the Reno Chess Club, ...

He was winning,. But he didn't see it. And I escaped - as usual. There is more analysis after the break. In winning this game I have clinched a spot in the next stage of the Reno Championship. This was not something I was very worried about but it was nice to clinch. As I stated in my last post I am 8/8. I played poorly in the first of these three games but I am satisfied with my performance over the last two weeks. Here are the three games I promised. I lose to Sheryka, Hong, and Alsasua. I was wonderin...

He was winning,. But he didn't see it. And I escaped - as usual. Good News and Bad News. At some point during the day I decided that I would rather try to win with White and take all the pressure off. I'm not sure that this was the best choice and I really wish the match was over already but I lived to fight another day. After butchering the opening I was in no position to make a real fight for the advantage so I just drew and moved on. Asked so nicely, here is the game. Iw getting to 2000.
