Last blitz game of 2010

Last game of chess in 2010 which I won more or less on knowledge from the Flexible French by Moskalenko.



While looking at some games in this line, I analysed some variations and stumbled on this pretty mate which is in the flash file but deserves a diagram of it's own.


Position after 21.Ng3-h1#

The Wonderful Winawer

Just got my hands on a copy of this book. First impression I like it a lot! When I got his other book, "The Flexible French" I had almost given up on playing the French for reasons I can't even remember. But after reading his book I just got really passionate again about the French and got many great ideas in some lines where I needed a little juice. I hope this new book helps me plug some holes. I have been playing mostly 6...Qa5 the Black Queen Blues in the Winawer, but maybe I'll play some old stuff again after looking at this book. Also I need some fresh ideas in some annoying sidelines. Moskalenko sure writes with soul as Korchnoi says in the Foreword!
