I THINK (I have not run it thru an engine and I am awaiting the Scot`s reply) I played a move that will lead to a win in about 6 moves - either mate or white resigning.
looks to me like white was concentrating on offense too much. white needs only one more free move to check mate in 4 (if black co-operated) but got his queen trapped and helpless to defend.
to KR, do you work for the Vancouver Province? They had a small article on chess in their sports section today :
it was 50 yrs ago, give or take a few months, that I was front and centre in a picture in the Vancouver sun, of a table of kids learning first lesson in chess at our local community centre. Don't think we were in the sports section though.
Hey Kev, why don't you give us a chess problem/solution a week ? I haven't played in a while except against a comp but I would enjoy the brain exercise. C'mon, give it a shot. Let's see who can come up with the answer. Just something to do.
P.S. I wrote you (4 times - it keeps getting bounced) but your personal email is NOT working.
I was playing in the game below - my opponent was from England. It was strange position where I had given up 3 pieces for Black's Queen. Black was attacking my Queen.
