| Jun-12-23 | | takchess: Ahoj! whiteshark . that's fun. 8) Been studying these Brause games on and off since since 2007. Hopefully this computer play is teaching me something about the initiative, in between moves endgames and chess in general . I reduced the 3000 initial set to 800 to around 400 and practicing guess the moves with those. I am posting some of the more attractive wins here. |
