I played this King's Gambit yesterday, in my quest to put it back in my repetoire, and I thought this game was interesting in that it has a defense not often seen, and also had some cute tactics towards the end. It was a 15 0 game, I was White and Black was 2210. Here it is without further ado, with some sparse comments by me:
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 Ne7!?
Apparently this is the Bonsch-Osmolovsky defense. It seems weird to me since the knight isn't all that well placed on the g6 square, although it might be an OK line for Black with best play.
4. d4 d5!
Better than the immediate ..Ng6, since Black strikes at White's center, and then protects the pawn.
5. Nc3 dxe4 6. Nxe4 Ng6 7. h4!
First essayed in Spassky-Seirawan, which I encourage everyone to check out. This shows the somewhat dumb position of the Ng6.
7..Bf5
This move probably isn't that great, and 8. Qe2! makes it pretty clear.
8. Bb5+?
I thought getting the Bishop out before Qe2 would be better, and it looked much fancier and more complicated, so I played it.
8..c6 9. Qe2 Be7 10. h5 cxb5?!
Probably not as good as 10..Bxe4. After this White looks slightly better to me.
11. hxg6 Bxe6 12. Bxf4 0-0 13. 0-0-0 Na6 14. Ne5
What nice centralize pieces white has, and that open h-file looks like it can lead to some fun! Then again, Black has the c-file and some ..Nb4 ideas, so it's gonna get nuts....
14..Rc8 15. Nxg6 fxg6 16. Qg4?!
This move looks like a deadly option in this position, but it's not all that great now that I analyze this game a bit. Black has a nice response.
16..Qb6?
This loses on the spot, to the move I saw on move 15, but Black has 16..Qd5!, which leaves white hurting. I missed this one.
FIND THE TACTIC (White to play and win....)
17. Nd6!!
Interference to obscure the queens protection of e6. Black misses the point.
17..Bxd6?? 18. Qe6+ Kh8 19. Rxh7+! and White mates.
Here is the pgn....
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 Ne7!? 4. d4 d5! 5. Nc3 dxe4 6. Nxe4 Ng6 7. h4! Bf5 8. Bb5+ c6 9. Qe2 Be7 10. h5 cxb5?! 11. hxg6 Bxe6 12. Bxf4 0-0 13. 0-0-0 Na6 14. Ne5 Rc8 15. Nxg6 fxg6 16. Qg4?! Qb6? 17. Nd6!! Bxd6?? 18. Qe6+ Kh8 19. Rxh7+!
Hope everyone enjoys... 😀

Nice job though, adding the KG, huh? Good choice. 😛
I really liked your knight sac though, nice find. 🙂
As for Ne7, I'm not sure. As you mentioned this is the defense essayed in the Spassky-Seirawan game, which incidentally is one of the first games shown to me in the KG on the first night I started playing it. 🙂 I feel like it's a dubious defense, but it's fairly safe I guess and the idea is pretty clear.

Originally posted by JusuhEveryone blunders. It's part of chess or warfare, to be able to see and take advantage of your enemy's mistakes is a must for any tactician. Instead of saying, "I can't beleive 2200 blunders so easily," why not say, "Man, way to go for burning him there. You really made him pay." Or, "Good job recognizing and exploiting his mistake."
Cant believe 2200 blunders so easily. well nice anyway...
It seems that you rather enjoy taking the wind out of people's sails, when you could be encouraging them

I was looking through KG games recently and came across this, didnt want to make an entire new thread for it so though id just drop it here
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 Bg7 5. O-O d6 6. d4 h6 7. Nc3 c6 8. g3 Bh3
9. Rf2 fxg3 10. Bxf7+ Kxf7 11. Ne5+ Ke6 12. d5+ Kxe5 13. hxg3 Bd7 14. Be3 c5
15. Ne2 Qb6 16. Qd2 Ne7 17. Qc3+ Kxe4 18. Qd3+ Ke5 19. Re1 Nxd5 20. Bd4+ cxd4
21. Qe4+ Kxe4 22. Nc3# 1-0
White is Valeri Tsaturian, FIDE 2425 although at the time he played this he was closer to 2300. Enjoy 🙂
Actually I saw 17.Bd6 instead of yours 17.Nd6...same idea, anyway.
2200 on which server ?
anyway, anyone(any but computers) can blunder...stronger you are, less probability to blunder...but you can see, even superGMs blunder in very long games, even Kramnik missed mate in one.
