Tactics, Seen And Not Seen

Rubidium Rd 3. A huge disparity by the players in seeing tactics can be seen here. Elalfer gets a nice win as a result.

Clutch Win By Jorobo

Rhenium Rd 5. A must win situation. Rhenium needs to win this game to draw the match and get into playoff contention. Jorobo crushed him.

An Awesome Game

Tellurium Rd 3. CamNewton really had his hands full here. Black's playing a great game and has him on the ropes but cam is pounding out some good moves of his own. Then a little error and White gets two Rooks for a Queen. Really great stuff, check it out.

Comparing 2 Games, Pt. 1

Rubidium Rd 2. We're comparing two "element" games where the opening was identical to a point.
The first game, here, is from krysto, about 1600. The next game we will see how universe, just a tick under 2200, handles it. It's clear in both games that Black knew the opening better. And we see some similar themes.

OOOPS
