I beat my first expert using the Colle opening at the 2003 US Open Chess tmt.

p.s. I've written three chess books: "250 Deadly Checkmates," "150 Deadly Opening Traps" & "Chess for Beginners." You can see them/order at: http://www.geocities.com/jeffreyschess and you can check out sample chapters here:

  • At 3:25 black should have taken the knight with his bishop, because then the white knight is forced to take it back (or else Nxg4) rather than the f pawn (which opens up white's black-squared bishop).

    Instead he left it too late and white was able to take with the f pawn giving him a much better position.

  • Yes, you're right ivolol. My guess is that at the time he was reluctant to give up his dk. sq. bishop (his "good" bishop) and figured the other knight would only take its place.

    However, this probably would have been better as he obviously changed his mind a few moves later and I was able to take with the f pawn and open up the c1-h6 diagonal for my dk. sq. bishop as you point out. :)

  • he could have moved his rook between your two rooks, trading his rook and knight for one of your rooks and he would have avoided the coming checkmate

  • at 52 sec. you should of took his pawn

  • what happened at 2:17

  • he could of moved his rook

  • i think more coudve been done rather than resigning. they couldve traded pieces down to white only having 1 rook and the pawns and he couldve possibly worked his pawns down the board with the king protecting them. it might wouldve looked desperate but if he pulle d it off it wouldve been better than resigning...

  • Red arrows usually means there is something crucial that can be attacked, but is currently being blocked. Green arrows show threats that can happen immediately, and yellow I think just shows something you should be warned of.

  • excellent game.

  • Wasn't ...g6?! a blunder by him? Just look how White invaded those weak dark squares around his king!?

    Especially since he played ...BxN, in combination with ...g6

    that seems total suicide! I bet he underestimated the Colle
