I just call that the Bishop sacrifice. It is good when black has weak control over the b1-h7 diagonal. If he has no good way to defend this diagonal after the sac, chances are the sac will work.

There is a really good book which breaks down this sacrifice called Art of Attack in Chess by Vladimir Vukovic (The Classic Bishop Sacrifice pg 121).

http://www.chess.com/blog/zibbit/pattern-recognition i've started watching these videos on pattern recognition and they are really good. it's kind of slow at times and could probably do with better pacing and video editing, but the content is really useful for da n00bz

i know. in the first video i particularly enjoyed boden's mate since it shows how a seemingly innocuous position (to a noob) can result in disaster

yes that was a horrible move, but the computer analyses has me at +4 even if he does the best move. the cool part of the game isn't so much the end as much as the combo around move 13...i have no idea why he'd put his pawn on h4

Yes, there is a work book you can get with it as well. I read it after How To Reassess Your Chess. Took only a few days to go through it.

here are are my other games:

http://www.chess.com/blog/foonat/game-two

me vs 1300 kid that kept farting and being gross in general. he was talking shit at the start when he ruined my structure and i dropped a pawn. i had him owned and made a horrible mistake. i think his farts caused me to brain fart myself and not notice his rook on e8 when i took the knight with the bishop on move 22. computer had me at +10 and i managed to blow it. then i blundered and lost

http://www.chess.com/blog/foonat/game-three

me vs. 1200 kid. we both took turns blundering pieces to each other at the start then he decided to just give me his rook and i won

http://www.chess.com/blog/foonat/game-four

me vs. 1800 kid. i was tired and knew i'd lose so i just played like a dumbass and lost


overall i'm pretty happy with my result considering it was my first ever tournament

played yet another tournament on sunday (quite the chess weekend). i missed a draw against a 1780 player and made some other dumb mistakes throughout the game, beat a 1250 player although it wasn't a clean game at all, had quite the battle against a 1500 player but won, and blundered horribly in the last round and lost in 10 moves against an 1800 player http://www.chess.com/blog/foonat/second-tourney

Haha. I'm playing in some tourneys too. But my level stalled/dropped off a bit when I don't watch youtube vids. I somehow play better after watching say, Varuzhan Akobian vids
