A.J.'s Game Of The Month |
|
This
site was started out of my desire to analyze current chess games, and made
possible by the patronage of a few very nice people.
I hope you enjoy my
efforts and will tell your friends about this site. THANKS!! (Site created Aug, 2003.)
*******
NOTE(March - 2004) Several organizations - to include (at least one) official state (chess) magazine - and several individuals ... have all asked if they could use my "Game of the Month" in their magazine and/or newsletter. Thus far I have said a very emphatic: "NO!" to all of these requests. (Absolutely, positively not!!) So if you see these games being copied anywhere, in ANY magazine or newsletter, or ANY state chess magazine ... this is absolutely a violation of my copyright protections as provided for by both Federal and State laws. (And I will pursue such violations to the maximum extent of penalties ... both civil and criminal ... that I can find and enforce under International, Federal and State Law!) If you see anyone using this material, please be sure to drop me a line and let me know. Announcement: (Friday; February 24th, 2006.) Several people have made pledges/promises of monthly support. Therefore, as a result, I have decided to make this a "paid" site, i.e. I pay the monthly fee to Yahoo/GeoCities, and you don't have to put up with pop-up ads, hourly limits, etc. (And I get more disk space.) This is NOT a permanent step, I can switch this back to a free site any time I want. (If you enjoy this, and see this development as an improvement, can let me know in the proper way.) |
Every month I will now feature a link or game right HERE. This is a game that I have already annotated, but I feel has not received much attention. Some of these are bonus games or supplementary games ... that have very few hits. Interesting efforts, good stuff, so (please) check it out!!
Explanation
of symbols: The symbols I use are the standard
ChessBase/Informant ones. A
"plus-slash-minus" ("+/-"), means that, "White
is winning." (CLEARLY winning!) "[]" or "box" This signifies that this move is probably forced. (The only move.) "TN" - A theoretical novelty or a move that is new to opening theory.
">/=" The continuation that follows this symbol is better
than or superior to what was actually played *********************
"(>/=)" This symbol means that the continuation that
is given immediately after it could be better
"(</=)" This symbol means that the continuation that
is given immediately after it could be inferior "ICT"
- An International Chess Tournament. ************************************************************************************* '!'
- a very good or exceptional move. *** I also use the mark, (appellation) '!?' a lot. The normal interpretation of this mark (after a move) is interesting, but perhaps associated with a great deal of risk. I do not agree with this interpretation and prefer just interesting. I also use it to show a divergent path in the analysis, or a departure from normal opening theory. This does NOT mean the move is good or bad, just interesting ... and there are possibly MANY different alternatives at this particular juncture of the game!!! (Also if another author used this symbol - which may imply some risk - I will pass this along without any change, modification or comment. I do this many times when quoting 'book' analysis.) ************************** (A glossary of opening terms.) This feature has turned out to be VERY popular ... the first game has generated more e-mail than I care to count. I appreciate all the comments - good and bad. (Thus far it has been mostly very positive.) No one is perfect - if I make an occasional mistake, please don't be too hard on me. (Dec. 07th, 2003.) |

NOTHING from this site can be used, saved to any computer, transmitted or re-transmitted in any form, copied, or used in any other fashion not desired by the author. Anyone who wishes to do so must have the express, written permission of the author. (For each and every use!) Anyone who violates this copyright notice will be the subject of whatever penalties that are available under the law(s) of the applicable country.
I allow anyone who wishes to study these games to print ONE (1) copy of each game ... if this copy is strictly for their own personal use. (Do NOT make copies for a friend!!) Printing more than one copy is NOT allowed and will be considered a violation of my copyright protections, even if these copies are given away at no charge. I will vigorously pursue any and all violations of this copyright.
August 14th, 2004: All my major sponsors - for this particular project - have all abandoned me ... for one reason or the other. (To be fair, at least two of these were caused by extenuating circumstances.) But the whole reason - originally, anyway - for doing this feature was twofold: A.) I would have an outlet for my skills, and chess fans everywhere would get a nicely annotated game; B.) I would gain a little extra income, but one that I could depend on. Under the current circumstances, I no longer feel bound to any type of deadline. (I am not even sure - at this point - that I will continue this feature ... or for how long.)
*******
August 15th, 2004: I talked it over with my wife, and she feels that I should go forward with this feature. She said she saw a picture in her head ... maybe someone who was housebound ... who looked forward to my game every month. I should not disappoint my fans.

June, 2005: I now have the new program, ChessBase 9.0. You may {or may not} notice an improvement in the quality of the pages.
