PokerStars IoM Masters  Douglas 2014.10.10  Position after 14 moves.  Black had just played the imprecise 14…Nb6 (14…Qe7!), putting an important defender on the wrong side of the board.  It is curious how, in chess, one imprecision is often enough to cost the game.  White now has an opportunity…do you see it?

HOW DOES WHITE GET A BIG EDGE?

World Junior Pune 2014.10.10  Position after 18 moves. I like how White plays in this game!  Black has taken a big chance allowing White’s Bishop and Knight approach the Black Kingside without being chased away…

WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!

World Junior Pune 2014.10.10  Position after 23 moves.  White has a perfect position!  Everything is lined up against the Black King.  The Bishop on d5 is GOD, while the Black Knight is just a spectator.  No wonder the game does not last long…

WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!

Kxg7 (Not much better is 19…f6 20.Bxf6 Nd5 21.Nxe6! etc ) 20.Bf6+ Kh6 ( 20…Kg8 21.Qg3+ ) (A bit tougher was 20…Kg6 though after 21.h4!
