I still have a hard time believing that we have already reached the end of 2014. Although it is hard to qualify the entire year in a single blog post, this edition of *OMC Weekend Review* will be the second to last post of 2014 here on *OffMyChess.com*. The final post of the year for the blog will appear on Christmas Day. I have enjoyed the many tournaments and games throughout the past year and I look forward to experiencing many more years of fine chess play from some of the world’s greatest players down to myself, who could be considered the world’s worst player. :)
So, grab a cup of coffee and join me as I present the final two annotated games of the year here on *Off My Chess*:
The first game I annotated was going perfectly and I was on track to win the game until an accidental mouse click doomed me. This was a terribly frustrating experience considering how well the game had been going. Look for the blender on move 40.
This subsequent live game has some excellent tactical principles as I was able to make use of some key exchanges to gain momentum and advantages on space.
