There are 2 big blunders towards the end of the game. We were both in big time pressure...and using an analog clock so there is no delay. Besides the obviously blunders the game seemed pretty well played by both sides. Comments are encouraged. White: Larry Johnson (2048) Black: James Stack (1540) 1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 d5 4. pxp pxp 5.Bb5+ Nc6 6. 0-0 Bd6 7. Rel+ Nge7 8. pxp Bxp 9. Nc3 0-0 10.Bd3 f6 11. Nh4 Ne5 12. Be2 Be6 13. h3 Bf7 14. Bf4 Qb6 15. Rf1 Qxp 16. Na4 Qd4 17. NxB QxN 18. Be3 Qc6 19.

It looked like a mistake to me but it was possible I had the position slightly wrong so I didn't look at it closely. 33...Ne5? certainly looks plausible, but the exchange sac blows a big hole in Black's defences. Instead of 39.Be6, 39.Qg5 ought to settle matters in White's favour, threatening mate at h5 and a horrible bishop check at f5. Maybe White overlooked the check that wrecks the line 39.Be6 Qe1+ 40.Kh2 Qxe5check, and Black finds he can't after all play 41.Bxg8+ Kxg8 42.Qxe5. Are you thinking of annotating this game? The early struggle for the initiative is an enthralling one in whick Black did well to hold out for so long.

Chess news: Barden on chess -- Bilbao's €400,000 (£317,000) Grand Slam, which ends today, is one of the strongest chess tournaments ever, with six elite chess grandmasters competing in a double round tournament. It has been staged alfresco in a special sound-proof glass enclosure erected in the city's main square, and it has already witnessed a historic moment. In round four, the world chess champion, Vishy Anand, lost the game below while Magnus Carlsen won. That meant that on the unofficial but widely respected daily chess rankings the Norwegian became world No1 at age 17, a feat which eclipses both Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov at his age. However, two late defeats meant that Carlsen's ... Battery unpowered -- Ring ring knock over your king, that’s the rule nowadays in chess. If a mobile phone sounds the owner loses immediately and it was Nigel Short’s turn to be a victim of this when his phone sounded during his game against former British Ladies Chess Champion Ketevan Arakhamia-Grant in the second round of the EU Chess Championship underway at Liverpool’s World Museum. Short had recently changed his phone and had switched it off but was undone when the device ran low on power and gave out a fatal warning. There was another telephonic tragedy a few days ago in round six of the Russian High Chess League as Vladimir Malakhov the number one seed was defaulted in ... Topalov's late show -- Another storming finish from Veselin Topalov secured the 150,000 Euro first prize in the inaugural Grand Slam Final at Bilbao. In the tenth and final round Topalov overcome Vasily Ivanchuk with some dynamic play from a position many chess players would have given up as drawn. The three points for a win and one for a draw scoring system ensured Topalov’s two wins in his last three games propelled him into first place. There was another bonus for the former FIDE chess champion as he moved to number one on the unofficial live rating list. I was able to witness the innovative arrangements first hand at the Plaza de Nuevo which hosted a unique chess festival for ...
