Originally posted by wormwood here's a game from another CC site, which finished just a moment ago. - the guy started with giving me a pawn and a futile check, and it was game over on move 3: a pawn up, ahead on development, it's all over. I don't have to risk anything, just mop it up with safe moves until the already won endgame.
it was just too easy, I probably didn't use more than ...[text shortened]... knights vs bishops preference and the bishop pair were totally ignored.

i wish i could play chess this easy, awesome game, to have the insight and confidence that by move three your problems are over is something else. i take it all back and once again stand corrected!😳

OK each to his own I guess.
But Black's position was just asking to be stomped
and the badly placed Queen was a huge plus for White.
I could not resist it.

The book that helped me the most was "500 Master Games Of Chess"
by Tartakower. It was my first chess book. Most of these games were from 1850-1935. I must have played over 300-400 of these games. It taught me a lot....
But you can do the same thing with any game collection.
