A game with Mr Sham

Hi .. on 27 April 2011 Mr sham and i played 3 round of chess .. the first round we agreed on a draw . I played as black and it was Rook + Knight vs Rook + Bishop ending with each side having 2 pawn . On the second game I lost on a spectacular tactic by Mr Sham .. WOW ! it was good ( i played as white).

On the third game, I played as black using my trusty pirc defence meanwhile Mr Sham was using Austrian attack against me. And on move 5 he played a3 , that kind of puzzle me and i have to rethink my counter attack.
Well we played and reach below diagram ,


 I saw a mating opportunity

 1. ... Rxh3+  2. Kg1 Rg3 !! ( mating threat )
 3. Qxg3  fxg3  4. Bxf8
  











Now we reach this position .. could you see the mating move/ the winning move.



the move is 4. ..... Qe5+  5. Ka8 (Mr Sham move and he resign here) Qa5+  6. Kg1 Qa7#

Pak Mie VS me :p

This game is between Pak Mie and me on 14-4-2011 . We had two game's but sadly i didn't took time to record it . I think it was a highly positional game where we try to out maneuver each other. but at the end i trick pak mie to lock the queen side where pak mie could get initiative .. meanwhile i was controlling the center and massing an attack toward the black king.

this position was reach and  I saw an opportunity to grab a pawn. 



1. Bb5  Rc7  2. Bxd7 Rxd7  at this time i didnt  know either to grab the pawn using queen or pawn . but i decide to make a Queen trade with an exra pawn in the end game. 3 Qxe6+ Qxe6  i make an hasty move by capturing with the rook where  i should have analyst pawn capture  4. Rxe6 and here pak mie blundered 4. ... Rc7 ??    5. Bxf6 a free piece an Pak mie resign .

How it all started .

Well when i was a kid, i never really got a formal education in playing chess. My big brother used to play with me. I guess he kind of teach me tho rope's of chess . Well i always got beaten by him , but when i drew him once he never want to play with me again .

In school I didn't got involved in chess, the school didn't even have a chess set. ha ha ha ha .. Somehow back 5-6 years ago chess come back into my life like a tsunami . Once i was hooked there was no turning back. Want to know the story ..

At that time i worked in a petrol station. While on my daily bank run, i saw a banner of a chess tournament. Yup guys it was like a lightning strike. hey what the heck, i entered it . I entered category B for those that doesn't rating . Hey i actually got number 6 and got RM10.00 and the entry fee is ten bucks .. I could get a better places but i lost on a touch move rule. What do you expect it was my first tournament !! . Those guys on the tournament invite me to their chess hang-out it was at Limau Bali Jln Gopeng . So in my free time i went there. On my first time there it was like being in pool fill with shark and alligator. I was totally being preyed on. HaH !! break my spirit will you ! nope that make me work harder, now I could stand tall as them. Thanks to those guys for all that crushing lesson .

Now i played regularly on tournament. Still learning the move . Hope i Will get better in chess . I really love the game. And never forget I have a wife that always support me !! :)
