OTB game at the club today. I'm playing black. Got myself in a little trouble in the beginning, sac'd a knight to free up my play a little, had to totally defend against nonstop mate threats, then sac an exchange which set up a mate threat that my opponent did not see (he forgot my bishop on e5 was hitting h2)! I should of lost at move 24 when he should have played Qh7+ forcing mate.
Enjoy...and please comment!

Nothing else is worth listening too.
Nobody has yet shown the cleanest White win.
I like this one. The g7 Rook is pinned left, right and upside down.

I mentioned that in the original message. 24.Qh7 forces mate. But I guess the visual effect is good, so thanks for showing!
It's interesting how you can look over a game afterward and see how horrible your position was and should have definitely lost. You ask yourself "how did he miss that" but we have to remember the actual conditions of playing the game, such as clock, psychology, trying to calculate over the board, maybe he had gas....who knows. It goes to show that chess is not static and objective even when things are "theoretically" lost.
Hi
I saw you mentioned it but thought someone would have
shown the cute Bishop mate.
You don't have to tell me about what goes on when you pull a game
out the fire. I have some amazing swindles and I'm talking about
about steals v IM's. (not yer chisled a GM, though pulled flanker on
Shamkovitch in a simul from Latvian Gambit and drew).
I'll post one later - going out.

I'm back.
Here is end of a game I pulled out of the fire.
I'm Black 2004 League Game.
I'm in trouble. His pxf7 looks good - but it's a mistake.
The good old sac sac & mate comes to the rescue.

How's this for a swindle!
This was in a g/30 OTB tournament- I was paired against my friend, who had been trying to reach master... this game set him back a bit. I was getting crushed in this game!

Very poor opening play on my part! I usually play the Nimzo-Indian, but I decided to go with a weird slav, and apparently was rewarded for it!
Edit: And of course the simple two move tactic I missed by playing ...g5

Speaking of poor opening play...I should ask for any advice and comments on how I could have played the opening better in my "swindle" game so I wouldn't have gotten into trouble to begin with. I think a couple mistakes were 8...cxd4 (should have kept tension in the center) and 11...Bd6, I think 11...Nxe5 was better even though it still knocks the f6 knight from his defense post. I know in the Colle system white looks for a kingside attack, and I didn't want to remove the f6 knight, but I should have played it differently. I think an early e5 for black is also probably good.
Thanks!
Originally posted by passedpawn22I liked the idea of as soon as white played exd4, try for Bd6 and e5 right away, before he gets a chance to plant his knight there. Lev Alburt recommends an interesting setup against the colle; they recommend play b6 and Bb7, with the idea of playing Ne4 and really putting the brakes on the attack. A 1900 USCF friend of mine also had some success against the colle by using a hedgehog defense idea, where he played d6, e6 b6, Bb7, c5, Rc8, and sometimes if White plays Qc2 and Bd3, Nb4 can become an interesting idea. Also, perhaps it is not mandatory to castle so quickly and give white a quick target to attack; the hedgehog setup can sometimes delay castling so that you maintain more flexibility. I'm not too sure about the Nxe5 sacrifice though; it doesn't seem to do enough to deal with the attack. The main problem is that your Queenside play was just far too slow, so you need to slow down white's attack first, and then look to the Queenside.
Nice game Chesskid!
