Complexity



Updated notes added after Fritz analysis: As suspected, I had tactical opportunities to take material here and win the game. I will give you the move numbers and take a look at what black should of played!

There is a better move at Blacks nineth move, at move 15 I could of simplified,move 21 I could of won material, and at move 27 I lost it when I should of played a move that equalized. Most of this game I stayed even.

As suspected careful play and more tactical training should deliver more of these games as wins even against stronger players.


Sometimes these 2 Knights games get too darn complex.It felt as though I might of had a win here but we will have to see what fritz says. I hope after some serious tactical training I will know what to do here.

Paste the game below into this link.

    Before you start up your Fritz, try to work your way through the tactics. I would start with 13... Bxd4. White has to take back with 14. cxd4 (14. Bxd4 is refuted tactically, but it is not that simple), which leaves black with a strong knight on e4. I would probably continue with Qg6 and if white takes on e4, maybe take back with the rook?
