PLAY THE TAIMANOV SICILIAN

I am thinking of using the Taimanov as black in a Sicilian.
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6


Have any of you used this variation before?

A GAME BETWEEN 2 OF THE CHILDREN FROM MY CHESS CLUB

This is a game played recently between 2 children from my School chess club.
The child playing White has been with me for 2 years, while the child playing black has only been with me 6 or so months.

The time limit was 30 minutes each on the clock for the game.
At the end white had 20 minutes left on the clock and black had 28 minutes.
So it was not a slow game, mistakes were made by both sides,but white shows some promise.

NO FIGHT FOR THE CENTER OR KING SAFTEY

I played over this game today a La Bourdonnais game as black against Jouy in 1836.
Their is little to no attempt at controlling the center or King saftey.
Just out an out attack.
I know the Kings gambit when accepted is all about attack,and boy do they,this is a very good entertaining little game.

ONE OF THE STRANGEST POSITIONS IN A CHESS GAME

This is a game played in 1834 between Mcdonnell and La bourdonnais.
The final position is one of the strangest i have seen in chess.
Would this happen in todays play i don't think so.

AN UNDERATTED BOBBY FISCHER GAME

I think this game from the Sousse 1967 interzonal is perhaps one of Bobby Fischers best underatted games.
Fischer has white against L. Myagmarsuren in round 3.
It is not played against a very strong player, but i think it is still a great game.

Black cannot take the white queen as this leads to checkmate.

FIRST TRY WITH CHESSFLASH VIEWER

This is my first game using chessflash game viewer.
It is one of my favourite games of all time.
It's not a classic by any means,but it has a history to go with it.
It was played in Breslau 1912 between Levitzky and Frank Marshall(whos games i like playing over).

When as remour has it Marshall played 23.....Qg3 the crowd throw gold coins at the players.
Did people in 1912 have gold coins to throw away,i am not sure.
But it's a great story and an entertaining game.

Work out why Marshall's Queen can't be taken.

OPERATION CANCELLED

The hospital called me today and cancelled my operation for tomorrow.
I will hear in due course with another dtae.
I was all geared up for the operation only now to at some stage gear myself up again.
A friend of myn had his operation cancelled 3 times,so at the moment it's not that bad.

OPERATION AND CHESS

I am to go into hospital 0n June 24th to have my long awaited ankle operation.
I am on 8 painkillers a day just to get through the day,so this operation cant come soon enough.

I am still playing chess but i dont know if i am better on the painkillers or not.
This is a game i played recently and my head is full of fuzz so i dont know if i am missing more or less good moves.

I am black in this game.
It was a draw right result?
