Hee, I just started playing chess, few months ago and immedeately got hooked for some mysterious reason. I'm not so good with opening theorie, mainly because I never spent time studying them.
If you play against me, never let your guard down. Although I could be material down, don't think I'm just doing nothing while you eat all my pawns. I could be preparing some unexpected sacrificial strategy throwing your king in a mating web, or something like that :D
I hope we can have a good game,
You can allways challenge me, I'm allways open to learn more. And I hope we can learn eachother something. :}

Here is an interesting Grandmaster match. I think the key-move that secured white's win was very beautiful. See if you can find it by yourself. Read more »

This is a game I played on a *real* chess-board, against a roommate. Can you get white out of trouble and win the game? ( not like mate in x steps), but decisive enough for black to resign? I'd like to hear your solutions. It's ... Read more »
