e4-c5 or e4-e5

Well,I don't know how many of the "numerous" people, who visit this heavenly place, do play chess but then I think that even a novice at chess would be knowing a bit about it.
It has been a week full of making my moves correctly for me.Yes,its purely chess...just a game and trust me, I have never enjoyed and learnt so much of it in so short duration.Ups and downs, highs and lows, we went through them and finally unlike a bollywood movie type "And they lived happily ever after" ending, in all probability we will be left with just a small piece of cherry.

The interhalls kicked off in style with our first match against Nehru in which we almost lost 3-0 until I got my share of UNDESRVED luck and we made it 2-1, a defeat but not all that awful. (from the scoreline point of view I am talking about :) )

As far as the games are concerned, I don't know whether any of the people play Ruy Lopez here but I would say that with white if you are going for Ruy Lopez my suggestion would be think twice!Its not as simple as it looks...its good, its attacking but its vulnerable.With black, after a lot of research (within the constraints of space, time and our intellect) we finally settled for Najdorf which did look quite aggressive for black.For the first time I implemented it today god hold of the game, dominated...came to the end game, with 25 more minutes than my opponent, one pawn up....and overlooked a simple trap only to find myself singing "I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter!"

Enough of technical terms I guess, but it was really an enjoyable week and believe me, its really a great fun to watch a game of chess.
After around 3-4 years, I came back to this wonderful game.Chess has always been my favourite game and I am really glad to find a lot of time to play in full flow again.
We finally made it to semis, lost in the semis and now we will fight for Bronze tomorrow.
May god help us in achieving that Bronze!I wish me and my team all the good luck! :)

say no to vada paav said...

You are not special. Your are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
Dear boy, grow up. Stop bragging.
Stop eating too much of vadaa paav.. it damages your brain. Stop excessive m%^&*^$^&ion.. it corrupts your moral soul. Stop extorting from poor bar girls of mumbai.. they are your fellow human-beings.

NEVER EVER SUPPORT GANGULY
SAY NO TO MAACH BHAAT.

Your well wisher
(A twice-born southie)
