Day 22 : Beginning Knight Flight

I find these Knight drills strangely relaxing. Decided to start the Knight Flight drills which MDLM lists as optional. He recommends doing them twice a day. Uncertain as to how many I will do at this point but would like to in one day do a full trip from every square to every square. MDLM estimates that would take about 5 hours.

I played through Mr Nezh The Game That Changed Me during my work lunch break. A great game! No subtlety here .The barbarians are camped out at the gates of Rome and there going to be in city in the morning.

I especially like how Nezh marchs a wall of pawns in front of his castled king and continues to batter the wall down until mate is achieved.

I can see why Mr Nezh feels so passionate about his play. Until reading Mr Nezh webblog I didn't know of Nezhmetdinov. Thanks Mr Nezh!

Here is another nice tactical game of Nezh a smothered mate.
