Quite simply, the intent here is to showcase our members' games, both the victories and the defeats, in the hope that all can learn and enjoy by analysing them. We feel that there is much to be gained by allowing players of all levels to share their thoughts as they played these games. We will also, from time to time, have annotations of the games by a higher rated player in order to highlight where the misktakes were and where the player's could have improved their chances. This page will be updated regularly so please do drop by from time to time and enjoy.
If you wish to contribute a game (with or without any annotations) please forward it to us - all submissions are gratefully accepted.

(notes by Ray Stonkus) (Game from Burlington C.C. Scheveningen Tournament)
1.e4 c5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3.Nf3 a6 4.0-0 e6 5.Nc3 b5 6.Be2 Nf6 7.d3 Qc7 8.Bg5 Be7 (8...Bb7!?) 9.Re1 Bb7 10.Bf1 (planning e4-e5 and clearing e2 for the N/c3. White started bringing his pieces out quickly i.e.moves 2 to 5 but, not having a focal point to attack, he loses time repositioning them.) Nd4 11.Nxd4?![11.e5 Nxf3+ 12.gxf3 b4 13.exf6 gxf6 14.Bd2 Rg8+ 15.Bg2 bxc3 16.bxc3 (16.Bxc3 Qf4) 16...Bd6] 11...cxd4 12.Bxf6 Bxf6 13.Ne2 Rc8 14.Ng3! Making the best of a bad lot, White abandons the Q-side and attacks the K-side. [14.Rc1 Bg5] 14...Qxc2 15.Qg4 Qc5 16.f4 h5 17.Qh3 g6 18.e5? (if 18.f5 O-O 19.Be2 and White's attack is still dangerous.) 18...Bg7 19.Ne4 Bxe4 (The B/b7 looks good but this is the only way it can help defend the Black King. White's attack has lost momentum.) 20.Re4 d6 (Making life for the B/g7) 21.exd6 Qxd6 22.Rae1 O-O (better late than never) 23.g4? (this creates a fresh weakness (f4). White continues to attack although he no longer has reason to. Perhaps he could have defended with R/e4-e2,g3 and B/f1-g2 etc) That would not have been much fun but the presence of opposite colour Bishops would keep his hopes of a draw alive.) 23...hxg4 24.Qg3 [24.Qxg4?? f5] 24...Rc2 25.R4e2 Rfc8 26.Qxg4 Bh6 27.Re5 R8c5 28.Qh4 Bg7 29.Rxc5 Rxc5 (Winning a second pawn on f4 instead of b2 keeps the game under control. "Keep it simple stupid." 30.Qg4 Rf5 31.Re4 Bh6 32.Be2 Rxf4 33.Rxf4 Qxf4 34.Qxf4 Bxf4 From here the win should be simple . March the Black King up the board, put the pawns on e5 and f5, then force the break e5-e4. 35.h3 f5 36.Bf3 Kf7 37.Bb7 a5 38.Bxa6 Bc1?! Getting the wrong idea. Black does not need to produce any more weaknesses on the Q-side to win and in any case ...b5-b4-b3 to fix the pawn on b2 would be the correct way of doing so. [38...b4 39.Kf2 b3!? ] 39.b3 a4?? Hallucination. I somehow thought that after White's next, I could capture b3 and a2 with an unstoppable passed pawn. Sorry, it's only in checkers that you can take more than one piece at a time. I am also pursuing the wrong goal; the correct plan is still e5-e4. [39...b4 40.Kf2 e5 41.Kf3 Kf6] Even with two extra pawns, the margin of victory is pretty slim. The following notes show the importance of the e5-e4 breakthrough and how the weakness of the h pawn can be used to deflect White's attention from the breakthrough point. A) 42.h4 should just lose the h pawn Bd2 43.Ke2 Bc3 44.Bb7 to prevent e5-e4 Kg7 45.Bc6 Kh6 46.Be8 e4; B) 42.Bb7 Kg5 43.Kg3 [43.Bc6 Kh4 44.Be8 e4+ 45.dxe4 d3 46.exf5 d2 47.Ke2 gxf5] 43...e4 44.dxe4 d3; C) 42.Bb5 Kg5 43.Be8 e4+ 44.dxe4 d3 45.Bb5 d2 46.Be2 fxe4+ 47.Kxe4 Kh4; 40.Bxb5 axb3 41.axb3 Bd2 42.Kf2 g5?? Pointless. White isn't going to play h3-h4. This pawn is needed to protect f5 and Black needs g5 for his King. [42...e5 43.Kf3 Kf6 44.Be8 Bc3 45.Bb5 Kg5 46.Be8[A] 46...e4+ 47.dxe4 d3 48.Bb5 d2 49.Be2 fxe4+ (49...f4 50.h4+) 50.Kxe4 Kh4 51.Kd3;
[B]46...Kh4 47.Bxg6 e4+ 48.dxe4 d3 49.Ke3 d2 50.Ke2 f4 51.e5 f3+ 52.Kd1 f2 53.Bd3 Kxh3 (53...Kg5 54.e6 Kf6 55.Bc4) 54.e6=] 43.Ke2 Bb4 44.Kf3 e5 45.Bd7 Kf6 46.Bc8 Bd6 47.Bd7 Bb4 ½-½
