Sunday Tactics and an escape from a sure defeat at FICS below:

1.d4 d5 2.Nc3 Bf5 3.a3 Nf6 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.g3 e6 6.Bg2 Bd6 7.0–0 0–0 8.Re1 Ne7 9.Nh4 h6

NOTE: My blog just won't show the PGN games properly anymore. I don't know why! Anyways I'm trying the PGN Game Converter of ChessVideos.tv.


A classic basic Queen movement hoping for my opponent's blunder while his time is running out. This was a 3 0 time control and the game ended with him having 27 seconds while I had 36.

I don't know why he moved Rg2 on his 28th move when he could have chosen the KxNg3. From there I knew I had a chance because I felt he was more conscious of possible time lose than his winning pieces and position.

Oh well!

Final position:



I thought these things happen only in fairy tales.

Well for the scans I did this morning, I included two pages from Chess Echecs Magazine I bought for 62 MADS last last week. It helped a lot that I don't understand written French language which forced me to rely on the diagrams and tried to solve them based on what my eyes can see.




Answers to follow next Sunday.
