If the opponent blunders into mate, find the best continuation and include it at the end.ĩ. Consider what the other side could have done differently to make it a better fight and include the variation.Ĩ. People know simple tactics, if one is there, you don't need to include a variation to talk about it.ħ. Write your intended moves into the annotations, don't just give vague ideas.Ħ. Comment on mistakes with stronger variations (sub-variations are written in blue, and variations on the blue sub-variations are written in red, these are other possible moves you could have played in the game at that time).ĥ. Include the principles/plans of the opening you played.Ĥ. If you want people to look at your games, then use a proper chess set.ģ. sometimes an engine is good when you analyze, but it can be too much of a good thing.Ģ. but if you use the engines too much, then you stop thinking for yourself.

it looks as if engines can really assist if there is a good question about opening play, and you don't know where else to turn cause the move isn't listed in the database. Thank you Empire of Chess, and Murr for your help. Good game though, and a nice win for you! Finally when an opponent blunders into a mate in 1, what's usually more interesting is what would have happened if he had struggled on (though he is compeletely lost) ie - 26.Re2 and the game goes on. For example with the neat tactic after 20.Rxe7, I prefer Re3, moving the rook into an attacking position followed by Bc2 to eject the knight (if Nxb2 at some point, then white can ignore it because it is pinned to the queen). Also try and consider what the other side, white, might have done. Middlegame - You played this really well, but regarding annotating games,don't bother with extremely obvious variations (like the one starting 18.Nxc6 where black ends up a rook up, though by all means point out that 19.Qxc6? leaves the bishop hanging). (also later when you mention 'nasty stuff' that means moves like Qa1/c1+ which wins a rook) Similarly the 6.Qa5 - a decent idea, but as you yourself observed comes to nothing after Bd2.Īlso when annotating give an example variation whenever you make some comment eg - 8.Rb1 - this is in fact a mistake as after 8.Bxc4! Qxb2 9.Rb1 Qxa3 10.Nb5 black's queen is trapped. You that you took on c4 because you're 'supposed to' but the whole idea of the benko is to either distract (or in this case get rid of) white's central pawns. Opening - I also like the benko, but I think you need to try and understand some of the principles behind it (as well as general ones, like don't move a piece twice -eg moves 8 &11). Anyway, my thoughts (forgive me as this will probably go on for quite a while!): Either enter your new location’s coordinates or scroll across the map to go there and choose where to move.Despite your impoliteness, your intentions are good enough. Available spots will be highlighted with a red outline around them on the map, as you can see below.Scroll through the list of special options until you find “Relocate Main Castle” and select it.Tap on Economy, which will bring up a box with multiple tabs. Tap the Admin section of your game screen, which will bring up 3 options.Make sure you ask Jeanette Myst any questions you might have about your location or the moving process before you begin! You cannot undo a move, and you only get one move for free, the rest cost rubies! If this is not your first move, make sure you have the rubies to pay for it and that you haven’t moved too recently that you have to wait to do so again!.Once you’ve received coordinates for your new location, here’s what to do: She will provide you the X/Y coordinates.

Her goal when selecting locations is to find one that is within our territory, near active and helpful members, where gaps could be filled or more presence is needed, and is close to good available outposts for you as you advance. If she does not contact you first, contact Jeanette Myst, who keeps track of available spots in our location and may have an ideal one picked out for you. Having a large number of alliance members close by in one area can also deter would-be attackers who realize hitting you would mean being knee-deep in heavily defended turf and help keep you safer! Why move? Well, the closer you are to the rest of the alliance, the quicker and cheaper (thus more likely) it is to send and receive resources and support troops among alliance members. For unlucky new players or for established players who join, this might require moving your castle to be in the same general area as the rest of the alliance. Sometimes a new player will get lucky and find themselves in our neighbourhood and join the alliance that way. When you first join the game, your main castle is assigned randomly to an available location on the map.
