Game Notes
When the game started I found out I was against another french guy, with a comparable rating. But I simply misjudged my oponent, I'll have some work to do tonight! I had never even heard of this variation (McDonnell, Somov Gambit). The complexity of what a simple Queen's Gambit can tranform into is absolutely astonishing. Well I'll have some work tonight ! I deserved to loose.
GAME TEN: Closed Sicilian Defense: Korchnoi Defense
Game Notes
I knew I was in trouble when I saw how quick his first moves were. I have to study less classic openings than the standard e4/d4 etc...
GAME ELEVEN: Vienna Game: Zhuravlev Countergambit
Game Notes
At first, I saw 1. Nc6, and I thought "What ! Another Reti game today I'm so sick of this !", but I ignored that a Reti opening is actually 1. Nf3, and that this was what is called a Van Geet Opening. It was the first time I played someone on this variant.
