I continued 18.Rae1?, only to lose a pawn to 18...g5 19.Be3 Nxe5.
LESSON: advanced pawns are usually an asset as they give pieces more space to operate in, but they can be vulnerable as they can be more difficult to protect.
I begin this blog after getting back into league chess following many years' absence due to work. My post-job status also means I am able to play more tournament chess. My new club in London is Battersea and my first game for them is on Thursday September 14, 2017. I start with a Fide rating of 1858, an ECF grade of 169 (=1968 elo) and an ICCF correspondence rating of 2267. My current Fide is 2009, my ECF is 1955 and my ICCF is 2325.
