COPPER CREEK CHESS CLUB: PRACTICE GAME 10/25/2010 Daniel vs Anthony 0 - 1

Thank you to both players for having done an excellent job of recording their game against each other during today's chess club meeting! It was a real pleasure to read through both score sheets this morning! This game had a clock put on it at about the point where the moves stopped being recorded as both players were then both below 5 minutes per side thus making this a blitz game. Anthony - commanding the Black pieces eventually won a hard fought chess battle. Whenever these two play a game it is always a very interesting and very exciting game - irrespective of the result!

James vs Karter PLAN Z vs "Whoops - showed up a few minutes late!" 10/08/2010

This was the first practice game played between James and Karter today. James got the warm up lesson on weak diagonals which included the four move checkmate. As we were wrapping up this warm up lesson Karter showed up for chess club - looking a little sleepy! So as I paired him up with James I "suspected" that James would use "PLAN Z". He caught Karter with "PLAN Z" in the first game - but not in the next three games that were played between them. Karter got a wake up call and was reminded about this checkmate - the four mover!
