There was a chess thread a few years ago that didn't go anywhere of interest, so I thought maybe we could try again.
I know some of you play chess. Do any of you players record your games? If so, I'm hoping you'll post some of your better ones here so that we can enjoy them.
I'll start by posting one of the games I played this past summer with a fellow named Dave, who can usually give me a bit of a challenge. Not in this game, though - I managed to trap his Queen after only 14 moves!
I was playing the white pieces:
1. d4........d5
2. c4........e6
3. Nc3......Nf6
4. Nf3......c5
5. Bf4......Be7
6. e3.......0-0
7. cd5......ed5
8. dc5......Bc5
9. Rc1......Bb4
10. a3......Ba5
11. b4......Bb6
12. Na4....Be6
13. Nb6....Qb6
14. Bc7.....resigns
I guess on move 13 he didn't want to double his pawns on the b file, as I thought he'd have to do. I was planning to move my Rook to the 7th rank afterwards, but when he recaptured with the Queen I saw that I could trap it. It's usually not easy to trap a Queen on such an open board, so I felt pretty good about it.
I wish I still had all the other games I've recorded over the years, but didn't manage to keep up with them. I have a few of the ones I played recently, though, so I'll see if any more of them are worth posting.
I hope some of you will post some of your's, as well.
