Texan Tango 2

The second of the two games with this Texan unexpectedly ended quite early and also offers another simple lesson about the queen. The winning move was my 6th: Bxf7+. Black did not play the b pawn gambit as in the Immortal Game, which I had always thought as being silly, but in this it appears that the gambit (which is known as the Bryan's Counter Gambit) does have valid justification. To recall the Bryan's Counter Gambit again have a quick look at one of my earlier post on The Immortal Game.

Daily Chess Puzzle: Figure it Find it Finish it

Chess puzzles are a little like golf. You take a look at the positions, understand the "wind" and "terrain" and "slope" a little... and calculate your approach, choose your wood, aim and you tee off! These are fun, convenient, and progressively ranked according to difficulty. Try today's puzzles today! The EASY puzzle can be solved even by people who do not really play chess. The MEDIUM one is a test for beginners and can be interesting even for intermediate players. And if you can solve the HARD one, you are better than me! Enjoy.
