Here, you will find some of my worst games, some of my best games and some of my most interesting games. As always on this type of page, When creating such a page, the emphasis is on wins, as it is often then a player sees the most ideas. However, toward the end of its creation, I might manage to fit in some losses as well!

Starting up

First two simple wins for white (with white to play):
The first position frequently occurs with new players, the second I have only seen with black to play. What are the winning moves for white?

Second game on this page, cjr(white) vs markthomps in the email tournament 2000. I will use this as an introductory, real-Trax puzzle!

Blacks line is already dangerous but not dangerous enough. White has a clear advantage in corners. The puzzle is: Win for white in several moves (however, the general idea is just to find a move that will give several separated threats for white). What move will you make for white? (This move is a passive win for white!) This is a very good example of playing for potential or threats instead of attacks.

An edge/L combination

An opening which might be new. White (cjr) to move after 8 moves. Win for white (at most 20 moves). (Hint: Think of the two corners to the right!)

Thats it for now, I hope to get some more puzzles on this page in some time when I manage to write a simpler creation utility for images from trax games so the games can also be traced!
