I quit playing at the age of 21, when my Elo was somewhere around 1950. I felt I was never any good. But with age I have become wiser and when I moved to a new city I felt like rekindling my old love for chess. In the meantime I only played blitz on the Internet and with my father, but that must have been good, because once I started playing in tournaments again last year my rating started going up pretty fast, from around 2000 to above 2150.
My new attitude to chess is to play with courage and not be afraid of losses – they will teach me. One of the first chess books I got last year was Mihai Suba’s excellent Positional Chess Sacrifices, from which I’ve learnt that exchanges are there to be sacrificed.
The Agony comes from my first tournament abroad, in Teplice, Czech republic, June last year. I sacrifice both exchanges against an FM 200 points above me. It could have been such a pretty win, right? But I lost track somewhere. What a pity!
The Ecstasy is from a tournament in Västerås, Sweden, in September. Another FM, 300 points stronger than me, steps straight into my preparation (I saw how Kasparov played against the KIA in Niksic 1983 against Ljubojevic and tried to imitate). This time I only sacrificed one exchange. I managed to keep a cool head. Such a sweet win.
Max has analysed his games extensively with Fritz (actually Fritz 11 SE). This is a difficult skill because you – and this applies to players of all strengths including grandmasters – tend to end up deferring to the engine's assessments when the most important thing is whether you could play the positions in a game. He did a lot of work and I've pruned it a little but left most intact. As usual, I've added my own comments as JS.
