Following on from our exciting game of the week, here is a link to the same game, this time analysed by one of the protagonists.
George Hollands (aka Journey2FM) has started a very interesting blog, describing his efforts to reach the FM title. Having known George for many years I have no doubt that he has both the talent, and, more importantly the work ethic to achieve his goal.
It has often been said that the most insightful games annotations come from the players themselves, as they can let the reader know what they were thinking during the game, rather than just a clinical assessment made ‘post mortem’
Please enjoy George’s analysis and please let me know if anyone else has games to be shared
