The other book I’ve been looking at is Najdorf’s Zurich, 1953. Most everybody says Bronstein’s is better, but I prefer Najdorf’s annotations. John Watson does an in depth review of Najdorf’s book HERE.
The problem with playing anonymous games on Instant Chess is that there is no game score so you don’t have any record of them. The solution I’ve used is to simply use a scoresheet and record the games manually. I suppose you could also open a chess program in another window and use it to record your games, but the temptation with that might be to use the engine which would defeat the purpose of playing.
Anyway, after playing over Nezhmetdinov’s games the temptation to play gambits and jump at the chance to make any reasonable looking sacrifice has been overwhelming and since you are probably dying to see one of my Instant Chess games, I have attached one. Over time, I may offer up some of Nezmetdinov’s games and/or some games from Zurich that are especially entertaining.

Hey you came back, internet chess, needs people like you.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Nelson Mandela was a chess player, means something.
The human world needs chess, because chess is logic, proven by the fact that we can all be beaten by our PCs, this gives us an objective measuring stick of a human being's logic ability. I believe all politicians should be able demonstrate an ability at chess and thus prove they have an ability at logic before they are allowed to run our affairs.
People like you can help to bring this dream to fruition.
