The Beginnings of my Chess Adventures (Do I look bored? "Hardly")
Well it all started in 1964 when I was a young lad of 16 years. On a boring boring day I just happen to sneak into my sister's closet and behold there layith a checker board and box. Being the curious type that I be, I open the box. Bonaza, bingo yippie ya hey, look at these funny shaped pieces. And there it begins .............. and so it was my discovery of chess.
I asked my sister if she knew how to play and we sat down and played a few games. Lo and behold I dazzled her with brillance as I won game after game after game. Apparently she didn't truely understand the game, but for me this was the beginnings of an addiction that would last a lifetime.
And so I finished the year of 1964 with some 60 wins and no defeats. In those days Chess was not played by many people. It was hard finding friends who even knew of it or the rules. Not like today where ya have chess on line and millions of us Americans know how to play today thanks to Mr. Robert Fischer and his world Chess title of 1972 which propelled chess to new heights in America.
Anyways, I not only had to look hard for people to play, but had to become a teacher of chess as well. I taught some 40 plus people or more how to play the game back in those good old days. Oh yea, Chess took a big bite out of me I was engulfed into the game. I'd spend hours at the library which I discovered to my great surprise has Chess books. I also found out many things, like Paul Morphy and Alexander Alekhine, world chess champions this is great wow I want to be one too I thought. Dream on golden knight the path to Grandmaster is hard not to even mention being a "class c" club player.
to be continued stay tune!!!!!!!
Great Moments in Amatuer Chess
Some favorite games
White: autobanner81
Black: Armagoden
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bb5 a6
4. Ba4 Nf6
5. O-O Be7
6. Re1 O-O
7. Bxc6 dxc6
8. Nxe5 Bd6
9. Nf3 Re8?
Blunder for me, better to go NxP. Well I figure all is lost now, but will play
on a few moves to test my opponents strength.
10. e5 Bg4
11. exd6 Rxe1+
12. Qxe1 Bxf3
13. gxf3 Qxd6
14. d3 Re8
15. Be3 Nd5
16. Nc3
I must avoid exchanges if at all possible.
16... Qg6+
17. Kh1 Nf4!
I like this move, his Bishop is pinned and I threaten mate by Q-g2!!!
18. Qg1 Qh5
I was uncomfortable about this exchange even when I win a pawn.
19. Bxf4 Qxf3+
20. Qg2 Qxf4
21. Rg1 g6
I am thinking maybe saving my butt with a perpetual check drawn game.
22. Ne4 Kg7
23. Qg3 Qf5
24. f4 Qd5
Another pin on the Knight this time and an attack on his Pawn at A2.
25. Qg2?!
White seems to be totally occupied with trying to find a mate here instead of
protecting his pawns and using his extra Knight to gain some pawn advantage of
his own. I need to take advantage of his passive play and go for his pawns
25... Qxa2!!
26. b3
I was a little nervous about this because of his b3 move, but I saw my escape
to a5 and still White has no real major threats. If anything he may offer a
draw which I would of accepted, but things are moving to my advantage now.
26... Qa5
27. Qf3 f5
28. Nf2
White is just too concerned with finding a mate.
28... Qd2
29. h4 Qxc2
Another pawn does me great.
30. h5 Qxb3
I'll take that one to. White has no threats against me.
31. hxg6 hxg6
Well who stands better now. Whites passive play has given me a position with
three unoppose pawns. Surely I can turn this to a win now.
32. Qg3 Qd5+
33. Rg2 Qd6
His plan of attacks just are not working.
34. Nh3 b5
Time to advance the pawns and add additional pressure to White.
35. Qf3 a5
36. Ng5 b4
37. Rh2 Kf6
My King's defences are strong there is nothing for white to do.
38. Rh7 Re7
39. Rxe7!?
Exchanging pieces here is a no no in my opion for white.
39... Kxe7
40. Qe3+ Kd7
41. Kg1 b3
Continue the pressure advance the pawn.
42. Nf7
I looked this over carefully and totally chose to ignore his powerless Knight.
42... b2
White has nothing here. If he takes my Queen I just get another plus.
And so Grand Duke Armagonden of Aragon chalks up another point.

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Bd6
3. Nc3 a6
4. Bc4 b5
I hate it when they do that. LOL
5. Bb3 c5
6. d3
Protect my Bishop from Pc4.
6... h6
7. a3 Nf6
8. Be3 Bb7
9. Nd5 a5
10. c4 a4
11. Bc2
Moving my Bishop here soons proves very positive for me. I was thinking a2, but
this gives me greater control I believe.
11... bxc4
12. dxc4 Qa5+
13. Bd2 Qd8
14. O-O
Nows time to get my King to some safety.
14... Ba6
15. Qe2 Nxd5
16. exd5 Bb7
17. Rfe1
Focusing on that Black KP.
17... Qf6
18. Qd1 Be7
19. Nxe5
Its a freebee I take it for now. plus when I retreat back his Bishop is pinned
to his King.
19... d6
20. Nf3 Ba6
Here I thinking: He's after my QBP, what can I do? Q-e2 or P-b3 then a4xb3 and
Bxb3? Then I see the check at Bc2xa4! But big deal. N goes to d7 blocks check.
But wait, I am 2 pawns ahead go ahead an exchange pieces after the check.
21. Bxa4+ Nd7
Now I see it. BxN KxB Q-a4+ cool.
22. Bxd7+ Kxd7
23. Qa4+
A series of checks and threats can put me in a stronger position and possble
chance of checkmate here. Looks pretty much like forced moves here on in.
23... Kc8
24. Qc6+ Kb8
If black goes K-d8 d2-a5 is mate!!!
25. Bc3!
Wins the Bishop by RxB and brings my rook into play for the kill.
( 25. Ba5
Threatens mate at c7, but 25... Rc8 )
25... Qg6
26. Rxe7 Rc8??
Yuk, that dont work, maybe better would of been Ra8-a7!?
27. Qb6+ Bb7
28. Qxb7#
And to think it all started at blacks move 20....... Ba6. Maybe Ba6 should be
rated ?? I don't know, but I love this victory. Great Adventures of Chess
