Being down a queen is usually a situation you want to avoid if you hope to play winning chess, but sometimes its unavoidable. So in this game, when I lost my queen, I had to find other ways to win. A half witted attack, building up pieces, and getting my superior armed opponent to start defending all factored into turning things around.
Please sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show. Grandmaster Theatre at its finest, sorry to keep my fans waiting.

That's the mark of a SCT Jaydon, to always be in control even when you aren't in control! Ask Axiom to elaborate, its lesson you must master or winning consistently will escape your grasp!

This game reminds me of crushing up an unwanted piece of paper into a ball and tossing it away. Enjoy.

Fighting Spirit!!!!
This game demonstrates my fighting spirit as I salvage a draw from impossible odds in this 80 move thriller. I only had 4 seconds left to my opponents 30 when she stalemated me. My distraught WIM opponent logged off immediately after this game - in complete disbelief, perhaps. She learned first hand what Siberian Chess Tiger spirit was all about!!!!

J2G's Attacking Chess
A close game won with less than one second left. This is a run and gun affair, I don't even castle - pure attacking chess from start to finish. Enjoy.

This game demonstrates my amazing fighting spirit as I secure a draw from the most hopeless of positions. Accordingly, a handle change is in order. From now on, I shall be known as "The Comeback Kid" !!!!

Sometimes I get lost in my own brilliance. The game below is a prime example. I sacrificed for a huge attack, but missed a complex forced mate - time control was 3 0 - and ended up losing.
Interesting position, white (me) to move. Do you see the forced checkmate?

My second game today versus a SCT cub is below. He showed fighting spirit and attacking chances, however, against an old SCT master like myself, the end result was inevitable of course.
