WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN BY FORCE

by Sam Sloan

Due to a nefarious international conspiracy among the world's chess grandmasters, a fundamental truth has been kept from the average players. The grandmasters keep saying that it is necessary to open a chess game with moves such as 1. e4, 1.d4 and 1.c4, because they do not want the secret to get out that White can obtain a winning position on the very first move. More than that, in furtherance of this vile conspiracy, these grandmasters play such moves themselves, knowing that if this dark secret got out, chess would be solved and the grandmasters would not be grandmasters any more and would have to get jobs working as short order cooks.

But now this secret has been unlocked. Now, you too can get a winning position on the very first move. No longer will they laugh when you sit down at the chess board. With the secrets which I am about to reveal, you too will demolish your opponents. Women will flock to you. Everyone will remark at your charm and brilliance. You will have many children. Just follow the examples provided by these games, and everything you have dreamed of achieving in chess will be yours.

It is true that White did not win all of the following games, but I had to let my opponents win a few lest this knowledge become too widespread.

All of the following are tournament games played with rating points and prize money at stake. Almost all of the opponents are internationally rated or titled players.
