Some of the kids and parents that I know read my blog, but I'm always surprised when someone I don't know figures out the connection. Though in my case how many chess players are named Polly? <BR/><BR/>I hope your kids had a good time at the tournament. I hope to see you again with the kids or on a Wednesday evening in Scarsdale.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747958243702670987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-39765069384803609822008-01-19T09:43:00.000-05:002008-01-19T09:43:00.000-05:00What makes it especially unfair is that I never ma...What makes it especially unfair is that I never make resolutions for myself.

I think I had been so fixated on winning the two pawns I forgot about forking possibilities.<BR/><BR/>Fritz rated my move almost the same but only after the continuation of 24. Nd4 Ree8, 25. b5 cxb5, 26. c6 Be6 27. Nxe6 Rxe6, 28. Bf4 Re8.<BR/><BR/>I guess it just reenforces the old maxim of "If you find a good move, look for a better one."Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747958243702670987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-67810499106790460702008-01-17T09:15:00.000-05:002008-01-17T09:15:00.000-05:00Ignore my comment (of course QxNe7 duh!)martyIgnore my comment (of course QxNe7 duh!)<BR/><BR/>martyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-9078093953853307812008-01-17T08:25:00.000-05:002008-01-17T08:25:00.000-05:00Nice game! =]Sure the physical training is importa...Nice game! =]<BR/><BR/>Sure the physical training is important too =]<BR/>Thanks for the welcome!<BR/><BR/>Best of luck in your other games!<BR/>I'll add you to my sidebar :)damouraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509254840338518432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-73282873618027714872008-01-17T07:22:00.000-05:002008-01-17T07:22:00.000-05:00I'm sure I'm missing something but after he played...I'm sure I'm missing something but after he played Qa6, why couldn't you family fork him with Nb5-c7?<BR/><BR/>MartyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-50330170952587662322008-01-17T00:06:00.000-05:002008-01-17T00:06:00.000-05:00It's sure nice to read about this month so far, ve...It's sure nice to read about this month so far, very good for you!
