CHESS LIFE

One of my favorite board game is Chess. It keeps my memory sharp and helps me to make a logical approach to life. As one of the great Russian Chess Grandmaster said, " Chess is the gymnasium of the mind."

Every now and then, I try to find time to play online. My games are kinda rusty due to lack of practice, but I could still deliver those classic textbook mating sacrifice if the position permits it.

Here's a game I just played online at yahoo chess (time:10 mins blitzgame). Both players committed alot of blunders but the way the mate was accomplished was beautiful. I never thought I would have the opportunity to actually do it in a real game.
