Preface
While writing up reports for various magazines, I have been thinking about the
idea of 'ordinary chess', of games which are not technically perfect, but may still
be of interest to players, spectators, and hopeully to readers. For this to work well,
the writer has to take the annotations seriously. The idea is that while the game is
interesting anyway, just think of what spectacular ideas might have been thought
of if the player could have found the occasional improvement. Oten in chess, bril
liancy is just around the corner.
I have used a similar perspective in this book, but with a diferent, almost op
posite perspective. I am writing up 'ordinary games', my own, with the thought of
systematically going through them, spotting any mistakes of my own (and there
are several), and finding better moves. I am aiming to find ways of cutting out
mistakes, thereby improving both my play and that of the reader.
Many games have been played in local and national league events, and I dedi
cate this book to those who continue to keep chess clubs going, in what is oten
quite a dificult time. These days I am cautious about playing in long tourna
ments, and also quickplay tournaments, sometimes travelling from one end of
Britain to the other. It is good to play in my local club, Harrow, where there are
oten fity chess players in a single evening, sometimes close to sixty if there are
visiting teams. My thanks to colleagues.
