++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.......
(3) Few years ago, after an easy and very stupid blunder in the opening i found myself in this totally lost position:  click for larger viewA whole pawn for nothing and a very bad mens placement.... Just a little before to resign I tried a last desperate trick: g5  click for larger viewAnd now if black take with the H pawn... game over.
But probably he thought (as i hoped): <"...Why to allows white to resolve the problem of the ugly placed rook in h1?!... and why to put in h8 (after the rooks change) the well central placed rook?!..."> so he played: ...- fxg5, giving to me the chanche to equalize with: xh6  click for larger viewAfter:...- f4; (of course he cant play x cause g5ch.) xh8- xh8; i took xd5-... and he cant play ... d8 cause xg5ch.(again!) win. (analysis diagram )
 click for larger viewAfter the game's moves:... xd2; xd2- g4; g5ch (again!) I won the finale:....  click for larger viewAfter my xd2 the opponent realized that even now Rd8 cant be played, cause after g5ch. (again!) whatever he play at least he lost an exchange.... ( Analysis Diagram )
 click for larger view g5ch was a real nightmare move for my opponent in this game...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++..........
(4) Played in 2004
 click for larger viewOf course white (I) is already much better here, but I like the final shoot... d5
 click for larger viewhere, worried by the lots of treaths, my opponent blundered with:... g7 and resigned after h7ch. 1-0 ... cause after the only ... f7; f1 is check mate...  click for larger view... xc3; doesent change a lot... xc3- g7; xe6ch. ( Analysis Diagram )
 click for larger view++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.....
(5) Played in 1993
 click for larger viewHere I played....- xh3;
 click for larger view e2- g3;
 click for larger view g2- xg2ch.
 click for larger view xh3- xf2;
 click for larger viewNow Black have a deadly Queen check in e3, White is forced to do something against it... g4-... and after ... xb2 valutation is
 click for larger viewUnfortunatly, after the Queens and rooks trade, in a W's + VS. B's    (!) Finale, in a terrible zeitnot i wasnt able to find the (easy) winnig manouvre.... 0.5-0.5
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++......
(6) Played in 1990 (Wow!... Im so Old?!?!!) :(-D
Ok, was one of my first ever tournament....
 click for larger viewI played ...- f3ch.; thinking of: xf3- xh3; f4- g4ch; f1- f3;  ( Analysis Diagram )
 click for larger viewBut after f1 delused by the refusion of my "brilliant" sac, in this better position with a pawn up I accepted (sic!) the draw that, with an almost unheardable whisper, my more expert opponent offered....  click for larger view0.5-0.5
eeeehhhhhh!.... the younghood, the younghood..... so manx energy and power, but such a lack of experience... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.......
(7) Played in 2001
 click for larger viewHere I played ...- xg3
 click for larger viewThis move was in my mind already from a while, in case white had played f4. But when this move was made it, a long thought happened to me.... Simply I was worried about White's reply xg3.... In fact after. ...- xe3ch.; xe3- xf4ch.; f2- xe3ch.; xe3- h2ch. Black is OK ( Analysis Diagram )
 click for larger view Just, the emotive side during the game put on me always a big pression.... More, this was the last round, I had won all the games till now, For a lot I was tempted to offer draw and go to the Tournament's bar and sipping a good beer..... But the "Pathos" to see this sacrifice at work, at the end got me,
...like a fever.....
Game: xg3- xe3;
 click for larger view xe3- xf4ch.; f3- xd3; xe8ch.- f7; e3- xg3; e2 and after 5/6 moves W resigned. 0-1
 click for larger viewSo, I won this tournament ( open B ) with 6/6, at the time I was in good shape cause a month later I won another Open B with 5.5/6.... All in all i closed the 2001 with a record of +12 =2 -1
and the whole period 1999-2001 with +25 =9 -6
After xg3W cant take the d3 with the cause after f4ch. is forced lost. ( Analysis Diagram )
 click for larger viewIn case of g2 with: ...- f2ch.; h1- h2 Mate
( Analysis Diagram )
 click for larger viewIn case of e2 with: ...- f2ch.; d1- xg1ch. etc.
( Analysis Diagram )
 click for larger viewAt the time I was very proud to foresaw all the side-lines before to play xg3.... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++........
(8) 2001
 click for larger viewAfter black played ...- gxf4 ( not the best )
instead to reply with the plausible and good exf4, I chosed a more spectacular (but a little weaker) xf4...  click for larger viewAfter ...-0-0; f6ch.- xf6; xf6- g7; ef1-... Black blundered with ...- e7;  click for larger viewHere: xd6 win
 click for larger view... xd6; xd6- xd6; xe5ch.- f6; xd6- f7; xc5...
 click for larger viewHere a mixture of relax and lack of determination by my side, was facing a strong fighting mode showed by the Black... The result was another 30 moves (!) before I forced my opponent to resign. I found very amusing a comment made by my opp. during the post-game analysis: "Of course I was under pression here; but (after ... e7) I tought my position wasnt so bad.... but your xd6 killed me... U took THREE(!) pawns with one move!!..." Very nice...:-D
