I suspect another one of your games will soon finish in an exciting win smile (well, I hope it has been exciting)

And waterbat has got me in a tight spot. I think we've found the middle of the pack.

(I'm JMO in case everyone didn't know that.)

This would be a fun one to go over after the tourney, because i'm not sure if i would be okay or not if you had played differently. Very complicated spot, and at times i thought i would have 4 pawns for a piece. Maybe Gustaran can do an analysis for us

Well, I'm going to finish 2nd in my group for the chess.com official 1201-1400 tournament behind someone whose rating is now in the 1700s. 8 wins from 8 if I exclude the 2 games against the dude who was underrated, pretty happy with that.

If you are having trouble spotting knight forks in your games (which some players seem to have wink ) one solution could be a knight visualization exercise, the "knight path". It is explained here:

http://www.chessvideos.tv/chess-visualiz...-moves.php (doesn't work in IE 10 for me)

I suggest forgetting about the timer in the beginning, I needed about 60 seconds for one path depending on the length. And of course it is possible to just practice in your head without using the website at all.

Well I've lost two games to horrible blunders but had a fun (for me anyway) attacking game against Makholm/Sian:

White has grabbed a second pawn in the Two Knights Defence, but is way behind on development... Black to move
