$Chess Opening: Lasker\$	Chess Opening: Lasker's Trap Posted by: GreenCastleBlock Video duration: 477 seconds A discussion of Lasker's Trap, which shows up in the Albin Countergambit to the Queen's Gambit. I had to use WinBoard for this lecture because PGNMentor does not allow me to promote my pawn to a knight. :-( Related: albin, chess, countergambit, lasker, lecture, opening, pullin, trap

$Chess Opening: Ruy Lopez, Steinitz Defense: Tarrasch\$

Chess Opening: Ruy Lopez, Steinitz Defense: Tarrasch's Trap
Posted by: GreenCastleBlock

Video duration: 602 seconds

This is a discussion of a trap in the Ruy Lopez, Steinitz Defense. This is an important trap to know because it shows what happens if Black tries to hold the center in the Steinitz.
When Tarrasch beat Marco in 1892, it signaled the beginning of the end for the Old Steinitz Defense. Today the Neo-Steinitz, 3...a6 4.Ba4 d6, is much more popular because it avoids the trap in this video.

	Chess Opening: A Trap in the Torre Attack Posted by: GreenCastleBlock Video duration: 309 seconds This is a trap in the Torre Attack (1.d4 2.Nf3 3.Bg5). It is one of my favorite opening traps; in the 2000 Chicago Open I won two games with it. Related: attack, chess, chicago, pullin, torre, trap

Chess Opening: Two Knights Defense (Ulvestad Variation)
Posted by: GreenCastleBlock

Video duration: 595 seconds

An introduction to the Ulvestad Variation(5...b5) in the Two Knights' Defense.
The Ulvestad presents a very powerful alternative to the typical 5...Na5, especially because the best response 6.Bf1 is almost never seen below expert level.

	Chess: Live Blitz game 1 Posted by: GreenCastleBlock Video duration: 572 seconds This is a live blitz game played by me on Yahoo Chess.

Posted by: GreenCastleBlock

Video duration: 639 seconds

I'm back! This is my last round game against Bill Brock (2030) from the Evanston Chess Economy Open, played yesterday.
I discuss the differences between the Noteboom, played in this game, and the Queen's Gambit Accepted.
Here is another game where I play the Noteboom (sort of): http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=9TAkUrc1k j8

Stonewall Legacy: Baltic Defense
Posted by: GreenCastleBlock

Video duration: 633 seconds

This is part of a series of chess opening videos called Stonewall Legacy, by Matt Pullin.
In this video I discuss 1.d4 d5 2.e3 Bf5, preventing White's Stonewall setup by beating White to the d3-h7 diagonal. The only way White can play for an advantage is to play 3.c4 with the goal of an early attack on b7. Some of these positions can also be reached via the Slav Defense.

Chess Game: Pullin-Brock
Posted by: GreenCastleBlock

Video duration: 660 seconds

This is my last round game from the Evanston Chess Adult Open today, played with White against Bill Brock(1999).
Yeah, I do lose games against non-masters occasionally. ;-) This is a very interesting game though, hope you learn as much from it as I did.

Chess Game: Meerovich-Pullin
Posted by: GreenCastleBlock

Video duration: 652 seconds

The 2007 Illinois Open was probably my best tournament ever. Here is my highest rated win from that event: my round 5 game against Ilan Meerovich(2066).
Against a much stronger opponent, it is a good strategy to try to take him out of his comfort zone. I accomplished this by playing the Albin, and sacrificing an additional pawn to cramp his position (...d3!)

	Chess: Live Blitz game 3 Posted by: GreenCastleBlock Video duration: 425 seconds This is a Live Blitz game played by me on FICS(freechess.org). I opened with the Noteboom Variation of the Slav Defense (by transposition). If you would like to play me on FICS, drop me a PM, and include your FICS username. I will add you to my +not list.

Chess: Live Blitz game 4
Posted by: GreenCastleBlock

Video duration: 618 seconds

A Live Blitz game played on FICS (freechess.org). I am playing White against one of my subscribers, guelar. The opening is an English, and I win an exchange but end up with a Knight stranded on a8. Most of the game is spent trying to resurrect this knight using tactics. In the end, guelar loses on time in a Rook ending where I have two extra pawns.

Chess Game: Pullin-Auger
Posted by: GreenCastleBlock

Video duration: 566 seconds

This is my 4th round game from the 2007 Illinois Open, against Michael Auger(1959).
He gets an isolated queen pawn (IQP) which I am able to blockade effectively. He launches an attack with just his queen and my king scrambles to safety, then I top things off with an exchange sacrifice. One of my more exciting games from this event.

	Chess Game: Pullin-Mitkov Posted by: GreenCastleBlock Video duration: 591 seconds This is my game against Grandmaster Nikolai Mitkov(2611) played in the 2007 Illinois Open this past weekend.
