Introducing the "Lost" Series

No, it has nothing to do with the TV show. Rather, it will be about games I played where I eventually lost. More of self-discovery/self-therapy for me, which is precisely what this blog is all about (though being read and eventually helping others out is not a far-off consideration too). But I will try to inject as much "formal" theory in the analysis as practicable, especially in the openings where reference materials abound.

I believe understanding games where I lost could improve my performance much faster than analyzing those where I won. For one, it would tend to reinforce carefulness, especially in those games where I simply blundered because of rushing my moves or not concentrating enough to analyze the move thoroughly before committing it.

I hope to get your feedback and suggestions, too. Hopefully the developing collection of games would be of much help (and entertainment) to you as I expect it to be to me.

Happy New Year everyone! Read More......
