ONE OF MY GAMES using babaschess

After asking Rolling pawns how to do this i thought i better show one of my games.

I joined the Gameknot site just before Christmas and this was one of my first games.

I am black in this game.

1.e4 c5 2.Bc4 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Qxd4 Nc6 5.Qc3



This is a very bad move it allows a game winning pin.

5…….Bb4 6.Bd2 Bxc3+ 7.Bxc3 Nf6 8.f3 O-O 9.Nh3 d5
10.Bd3 d4 11.Bd2 e5 12.f4 Bxh3 13.gxh3 Nh5
14.f5 Qh4+ 15.Kd1 Nf4 16.Na3 Nxd3 17.cxd3 Qxh3
18.Kc2 Qh4 19.Rag1 Qf6 20.Bg5 Qd6 21.h4 Rac8
22.Kb1 Nb4 23.Bf6 Qxf6 wasting another piece.
24.h5Nxd3 25.Rh3 Nf4 26.Rh2 Rc6 27.h6 g6
28.Rh4 Qxh4 another piece gone.
29.fxg6 fxg6 30.Nb5 Qf2 31.Rd1 Qc2+

CHESS BOOKS I OWN PART 4



I have been moving chess books around from one room to another for a while now, so I thought I find out how many I have.
I was amazed I have over 160 chess books and booklets.
The books are game collections, tournament books, match books, books about checkmate,tactics and chess novels.
The booklets are openings and slim tournament round pamphlets.
I have bought these from the internet, shops and from libraries.

The question is WHAT BOOKS DO YOU HAVE ?
