This is my last round game in the recent Northern Virginia Open. FM Gorman had the black pieces and played the Sicilian. After some middlegame action, the match ended with a drawn rook-and-pawns ending. a .PGN file 1K A former member Nov 10, 2009

The game was played in the last round of the Carver Tournament. It features the popular & sharp Najdorf variation for Sicilian lovers. White held on to his initiative from the opening phase and reached a winning endgame despite Black's resistance. a .PGN file 1K A former member Aug 30, 2009
In round 4 of the Carver tournament, I played Black against Master Raymond. In a tough Semi-Slav game, the position remained relatively equal until the queens were exchanged. And until the last move, Black's slight edge was not easy to exploit. a .PGN file 1K A former member Aug 23, 2009
This game followed a Winawer line, a popular choice by French Defense players. The game shows how one mistake (...g6) can lead to a quick downfall. The Kingside attack was relentless and a knight maneuver leading to mate provided the climax. a .PGN file 0K A former member Aug 21, 2009
My game from Raymond's simul 8-15-09, now with annotations by Raymond as well as a suggestion from Shawn. White castled long and engineered a strong attack. Black had chances, too, but played some weak moves towards the end. Comments welcome! a .pgn file 3K Scott Knoke Aug 18, 2009
As requested by Herky, here is the game played between Matt and I at today's session. The opening was a Sicilian where White plays Qxd4. A tough battle over 60 moves. I've added a few brief comments and would welcome any feedback on the game. a .pgn file 3K Richard Aug 16, 2009
Another game against RaymondD. White invades Blacks position through the center, gets a Q and R on the 7th rank and even promotes a pawn. Black somehow survives and counterattacks leading to tripled isolated pawns trapping the White king. a .pgn file 2K Richard Aug 9, 2009
Victor and I discussed the Grand Prix Attack (GPA) against the Sicilian today - quite different to mainstream lines. Attached is a recent game I played against RaymondD in a far from typical variation in the GPA. Some general notes are in the file. a .pgn file 1K Richard Aug 8, 2009
In the recent Kingstowne Tournament, club founder Charles Frey played Black against Alex Passov who was the tournament favorite. It was a closed Sicilian which culminated in a won pawn endgame by Charles. Frey went on to win the tournament! a .PGN file 1K A former member Aug 2, 2009
In my first USCF tournament, I played against Fiona Lam who was rated 1770 then. This was a memorable game because this enabled me to garner the top unrated honors in the Northern Virginia Open '08. What a great tournament experience! a .PGN file 1K A former member Jul 31, 2009
