The Power of Two Bishops

Recently I played a corresponding game at chess.com. It is one of the games I played in a Semi Slav thematic tournament. At the end of the game, my two bishops completely dominates the board. Below is the PGN and an embedded PDF analyzing the game.

Transition from Attack to Defense

Recently I played a corresponding game at chess.com. It is one of the games I played in a Ruy Lopez thematic tournament. I attacked first, but later on have to defense and lost the game quickly (as I thought). Below is the PGN and an embedded PDF analyzing the game.

Wild King's Gambit

Recently I played a corresponding game at chess.com. I played King's gambit, and the game went wild as what usually happens in this opening. Both white and black kept making tactical blunders and I won the game although I just intended to draw the game at the critical moment. Below is the PGN and an embedded PDF analyzing the game.

One technical note: I generated the PDF file by using LaTeX package xskak, which is great for chess articles/books.
