Two games from recent matches
The crowborough players annotate their own games with the theme being material in compensation for lack of development.
In both games the Crowborough player with the black pieces grabs a pawn (or two) while white has the active pieces.
However in both cases black was more familiar with the opening ideas and after a couple of passive moves by white, black in both games is able to swap the pieces off into a winning endgame.
Michael's game is particularly instructive on how a weak king can be fatal in a queen and opposite coloured bishop endgame.
Enjoy.
