A fun game to play with your chess games
This is a fun game I play with my chess games. I go over a game like in a chess magazine, then I take a notebook, with all my games from that similar opening, and I make a notation of how they matched up. I wanted to illustrate this system using a game that was on Caissa but not in the analysis section and I found one in the MOT mega list. Lets look at a game by GLADIATOR: (AS WHITE) 1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd 4. Nxd Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 e6 7. f4 Qb6 8. Qd2 Qxb2 9. Rb1 Qa3 10. e5. I looked in my notebooks and I have reached up to 9... Qa3. Here I have no game where I played 10.e5 so I would not write an index card for this game. However, if GLADIATOR, had played 8. Qd3 instead of Qd2, I have one game where I played 10.e5. My game continued 10... dxe5 11. fxe5, same as the GLADIATOR game, then on move 11...GLADIATIOR'S opponent played 11.. Nd5, and my opponent played 11... Nfd7. So I would make an index card listing on the front side, 022820021768160931. The first part is the day I played the game that most closely matched the GLADIATOR GAME. 2/28/2002, then comes my rating as white, 1768, and opponents rating, 1609 and last the number of moves to win the game, 31. On the back of the index card, I would list 1. and then 11 W. This is for the amount of moves that were matched with my scorebook library. In this case 1 game matched for 11 moves through the white side. I thought I might just throw this out there. GLADIATOR won with the remaining moves, 12. Nxd5 exd5 13. Rb3 Qa2 14. Qc3 h6 15. Qxc8#
