Lichess

 See, my opponent keep gaining small advantages every move till middlegame and then started blundering. Either they are very good at openings or they are cheating (using engine analysis) and stop using it at the end of game to save themselves from being caught.

Some player might use computer analysis in critical phase of game. Online chess has no credibility.

A game without blunder

 I didn't blunder in this game although I missed few tactics. I have been playing fast which I believe is not best thing.

King run

Look at the king run in this game. 

Don't forget to comment.

Lichess

 I have been playing online chess games on lichess.com for a while. When I am above 1700 ELO, I started encountering players who would play just extraordinary. Today also same thing happened. But when I told guy that he or she was using computer analysis, he just started doing blunders. People use computer analysis while playing 10 minute+ games on lichess. At around move 20, I accused opponent of cheating and then he started doing blunders.

Basic Chess Ending 9 - Lone Pawn

Pawn endings are very concrete – even the tiniest change in the position generally alters the shape and outcome of the struggle. Here you can rarely get along on “general principles”.

The study of pawn endings chiefly boils down, not to the memorization of exact positions, but to the assimilation of standard techniques, which considerably eases our search for a solution and the calculation of variations.

Many pawn endings are clearly defined tempo-battles. In these endgames, speed is everything: which pawn will queen first, will the king come in time to stop the passed pawn or get to the other side of the board in time. And there are other pawn endings in which a maneuvering war predominates, and in which zugzwang assumes paramount importance. 

In King and pawn endings, the difference of a single tempo is often the deciding factor. Having an extra move in a pawn race can mean victory or defeat Interestingly enough, there are some King and pawn endings in which you want your opponent to be on the move, so you want to lose a tempo!

The endgame poses very different problems and needs than the other phases of game. In the endgame, pawns and Kings take on enormous significance. Since the threat to the Kings is no longer real (the enemy limited army no longer poses any danger to his Majesty), King should be used actively in endgame.

Though White cannot mate with a King and lone pawn, he CAN promote his pawn to a Queen. As a result of this fact, every King and pawn vs. King situation is all about one thing: can the pawn promote?

Most players handle these endings with confidence, but some have trouble in less common positions. Very often the problem lies in the overuse of the theory of the opposition. While opposition is a very useful concept and its best field of application is Pawn endings , its value is sometimes overestimated.

The first question we have to answer in King + Pawn vs. King endings is this : Can the pawn promote without the aid of the king? Calculating the race between the pawn and the enemy king is enough to answer this question. This calculation is not complicated but, anyway, experience has taught us a simple way to solve the problem at a glance : the so-called 'rule of the square'.

Imagine a square having for one of its sides the path from the pawn to its queening square. (One easy way to construct the square is to draw a diagonal from the pawn to its promotion rank and then complete the square.) If the king stands within the square of the passed pawn, or can reach it on its move, the pawn can be stopped; otherwise, it will queen.

White to move

1. a4!

1...Kf7

If, when recalling the rule, we doubt whether the king must reach the square with his move or he must already be inside, we shall observe this : if the king chased the pawn from the rear (in this example it might be from b 3 ) , should he be inside the square before moving ? Of course not : therefore, it would be the same if the king came from farther away, be it from the pawn's rear or from its side.

2.a5 Ke6 3.a6 Kd6 4.a7 Kc7 5.a8=Q 1-0

 Today game... Win at ruy lopez.

How to tackle wild game play? Just be patient. Wait for your chance. Improve slowly. Let opponent do blunder. When up material, trade pieces. Push passed pawn. Don't do anything crazy. And at last you laugh... Hahahaha

Queen

 Early queen moves and queen get trapped.

King bishop pawn (f pawn) again

 See what can happen if you weaken your king side.

Win in caro kann

 Won the game even when I blundered in opening. On move 11 I should have castled instead of playing d4. I found two game in chessbase database (search here) in which black played a6 on move 9.

 

Win against berlin

 My opponent played waiting move 4...h6 which is rarely played (See 365chess.com database here). 

Ruy lopez

 Beauty of Ruy lopez

King bishop pawn again

 Another f pawn move

King bishop pawn

 This is why one should refrain from moving f pawn.

Endgame

 See this is why you need to learn endgame rather than opening. I did few mistakes in middlegame but is able to win endgame. I didn't played endgame perfectly but because I knew knight pawn is a draw if I follow some principles than I was able to convert draw into win. Thanks levy rozman (gothamchess) for his endgame video (see video below game).

Pirc?

Another quick game. Is this opening known as pirc defense? By the way, I never memorize opening. I am playing as white. I just follwed one opening principle: try to gain space at center because pieces usually maneuver easily through center. Black blundered knight and resigned. Computer analysis says 9.f5 a blunder and suggest e5 as best move. But why knight should move to h5 after pawn to e5 and sac on f4? Isn't 9.e5 Ne8 ok for black?

Budapest gambit

 Today I won queen in budapest gambit. Thanks to GM Igor Smirnov (his youtube video is given below).

Chess book

Hello everyone

I found very good book on pawn structure. Chess structures - A grandmaster guide by Mauricio Flores Rios.

Do you want me to make pgn? I will be able to make chapter wise only and that too over the time horizon of 3-4 years. Which opening you want me to target first? Personally I feel I should first cover french defense but in the book author has repeatedly referred to previous chapters so it would be a good idea to start sequentially with chapter 1. What are your opinion? Please feel free to comment.

PS:

Sorry some files of below mentioned post got deleted. I am able to recover only 3 of those.

My chess game

Today morning I played a game of chess on lichess.org. After opting for computer analysis, I found that lichess computer analysis suggested incorrect Knight move on 29th move. On move 29, lichess computer analysis suggest Nd3 but White should actually move either of King or Queen to avoid fork by my knight on e2.
