I would just like to thank Ian Marks for last nights coaching session.
As usual it was interesting and informative. I for one really appreciate the fact that you take the time to do these for us Ian. The last smothered mate was an exceptional example of the amazing nature of Chess. |

And I would like to echo that, I am surprised at how much these session make me remember stuff I have looked at before but forgotten over the last few years. I believe I will be having another look at mating patterns.
Ian I have listed below my game with Paul for you to have a look at if you would. I am interested to see if you can suggest a better line than the one after my comments at move 51

Guys
Thanks for your kind words. If it helps jog your memory and you win an extra game or save the odd half point, then it's worth it. Robert, thanks for your game - I'll have a look at it sometime soon. I'll also send you that ending we looked at so you can add it to the games on the website. Great stuff! |
