A Timeline History of Chess

This is a very concise timeline of chess history. It is of course missing a lot of important events. Still for someone just wanting a quick overview it is the best I've come across. http://www.briefhistoryofchess.com/

[#] 1.d4 A game against the online Sparkchess Claire opponent. 1...c6 2.e3 e6 3.Nf3 I thought I'd play a dynamic opening I haven't used for some time. The Stonewall Attack. d5 4.Bd3 Still not in the Stonewall. So far this falls in the Colle System. h5 5.O-O Be7 6.c3 a6 7.Ne5 Nf6 8.f4! With f4 White is now in the Stonewall setup. O-O 9.Rf3! Lifting the Rook to get him into the attack. Qc7 10.Nd2 Making sure Black doesn't clog things up with Ne4. Ra7? Does nothing. 11.Rh3 Re8 The perfect setup for the Stonewall. White has a lot aimed at blacks King side, and blacks pieces are all on the Queen side. So White can afford to sacrifice his Rook for the attack. 12.Rxh5!! Nxh5 13.Qxh5 g6 14.Bxg6 ! and now the Bishop, but there are no Black pieces to come to the rescue of the King. 14...fxg6 15.Qxg6 Kf8

[15...Kh8 16.Nf7#also is mate! ]

16.Qf7# [1-0]
