I cannot believe that my last post is something like a month ago. I haven't found much time to blog lately and have been lacking ideas what to write about, too. It also seems that now, after DG from the Boylston Chess Club Blog stopped blogging and Bluedevilknight is wrapping things up, the chess blogosphere is increasingly quiet (Note that I don't say that there is nothing interesting written anymore. It just feels that there are fewer new posts to read). Or may be I am just getting old and with me the blogs I read regularly. Anyway, after giving a rook for free in a correspondence game with my old chess friend troopersccop (and a few pawns as "tip", after all I don't want anybody to find out that I am a cheapskate, right?), I first felt like complaining about myself blundering so badly. However, I think I should take a more positive view on the world, and thus decided to publish this position from the game I won against Trooper with a cute combination. For a change, I actually calculated things out without messing up. May be my new training helps (more about that later).

This was my first game playing against the Grand Prix Attack. I still don't understand what it is about, but I enjoyed the game anyway. Anyhow, the position is after White played fxg5, threatening my bishop. What is the best response for Black?
