This game should be my most spectacular one. I invite other players to show us their favourite one in progress.

Re: New MOT Grunfeld Indian
While some might consider this game to be a bit of a "bottom-of-the table" yawn...I think the endplay by both players makes it worth a look

Re: New MOT Grunfeld Indian
I'm posting this game as encouragement to everyone who's entered this MOT as cannon fodder for the big guns; That's me , Grim, Kingsfull and Spud. Doorman has won too many games to be called a sitting duck. The turning point came with black's 39th move and suddenly, I was up a piece and in a strong position. Not only that, I was not dreaming either.

Your game with kastelka - he is a very good player - is also very interesting. It promise a great complexity.

Re: New MOT Grunfeld Indian

I think Power is takeing it easy on me. Maybe he feels guilty for destroying me every game for the last year. Or maybe ive lost this one and don't know it yet.
 
D
Jeg tror Power er takeing det lett på meg. Kanskje han føler seg skyldig for å ødelegge meg hver eneste kamp for det siste året. Eller kanskje ive mistet dette og vet ikke det ennå.
