http://kubiyakontheroad.blogspot.com/2014/02/rook-endgames.html
On The Road To Chess Enjoyment. An account of my chess and life's travails. Saturday, February 22, 2014. Quite amazingly I lost as White in this position. This just goes to show that chess is not easy. It's hard to get a sense of how to continue this type of position for 20 moves or more from grandmaster games because ( except for Carlsen! GMs generally take a draw here. Now here's how I should have played that:. This position happened during the game. I don't have all the moves to the ending but I f...

On The Road To Chess Enjoyment. An account of my chess and life's travails. Monday, July 28, 2014. The game itself was quite interesting as I more or less gambitted the opening and was almost checkmated before move 20. The rest of the game was mostly about holding on for dear life and hoping for some defensive chances. Your web browser and/or your host do not support iframes as required to display the chessboard.

On The Road To Chess Enjoyment. An account of my chess and life's travails. Tuesday, January 28, 2014. Round 1 of the Gibraltar tournament 2014 produced a few semi-miniatures when world class 2700 GMs faced off vs some masters who would probably give me a tough game any day. I was particularly drawn to the King's Indian line played out between Tomashevsky and his opponent. Your web browser and/or your host do not support iframes as required to display the chessboard.

On The Road To Chess Enjoyment. An account of my chess and life's travails. Thursday, January 31, 2013. Active King Moves w/ Heavy Pieces. A win by GM Iturrizaga at the Gibraltar Masters 2013 featured active king moves with queens and rooks on the board. A really wild game. Black probably resigned at the end because the queen ending may be hopeless but possibly worth a try. Monday, January 28, 2013. Recent High Level Games Of Interest. Some games I recently looked at of interest to me:. My only qualm wit...

On The Road To Chess Enjoyment. An account of my chess and life's travails. Sunday, February 24, 2013. I scored a respectable 3/4 at the Marshall CC U2300 event held February 23 and 24th at the Marshall CC. I gained 20 rating points. I drew with FM Boris Privman and FM Erez Klein. My game with Boris Privman was a roller coaster ride. I will analyze that game in a separate post. Saturday, February 16, 2013. Marshall CC Saturday Game 60. Friday, February 15, 2013.
