This game is part of a Chess.com an exhibition match between the Pacific Northwest Team and Irish Team. I'll annotate the game so you don't have to read too much now.                I had a great deal of fun this game. There was ... Read more »

A masterpiece in 3 minutes.

Submitted by mueller on Thu Nov 13, 2008 8:04pm.

 I just played this game on FICS earlier today. Even though it was a 3 minute game, I really enjoyed how I switched from a kingside attack to a queenside attack to a series of exchanges in the middle of the board that lead to my opponent resigning. Read more »

mueller 1 Rybka 231

Submitted by mueller on Fri Oct 3, 2008 12:02pm.

A strange attack

Submitted by mueller on Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:25am.

This is a game I just played here using a 24/hours a move setting, and as per typical of my games with this opponent, they have been fast and wild and this game was no exception. I know there are lots of ways I could have played it better as for s... Read more »
