A cheapo 11 mover from the RHP 2011 Championship

The King's Gambit is fertile ground for a cheapo quickie, and this one is no exception. The d-pawn wasn't really hanging...

That's a beauty! I presume you weren't on the losing side Paul.

knights are scarey!

Well done on the win.

But let's be honest, Black isn't much of a chess player. Mismatches like this are commonplace in the Championship 1st round. It needs sorting out in my opinion. Otherwise it provides one further reason why the Championship is an unappealing tournament for some players. A pity, really

Fun game, it has that "that can't be mate can it? " feeling if you are just clicking through like I was 🙂

already after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 f6? white is confident of getting an easy win and indeed he did. nice mate, though
