5 minute blitz. The eventual win was by timeout but check out the position!

I'm black here, and I could have had excellent odds against myself on move 2. My opponent spent about 90 seconds on move 30, at which time I had about 30 seconds left on the clock. As Churchill said: [i]"never give in!"[i]

here's one that I had seriously considered resigning after how the opening turned out for me, but I found several tactical nuances that demand the opponent to be very accurate and then won by consequent mistakes: Game 4757324

A minor comeback, but a very interesting game overall.

Game 4200200

And, a seesaw of a game which I was very lucky to get out of with any points at all. Without this game, I wouldn't have been able to go undefeated in the tournament.

Ah, yes. I remember this game well. There I am thinking, 'fantastic, I've won a piece out of the opening. Now I can set about picking off a few pawns, trade a few pieces and hey presto, a won game.' Next second I'm in some sort of freakish mating net with your pieces swooping in like a scene from The Birds. Well played!

This still rates as my best comeback from 3 pawns down (and it should have been even worse) by move 6.

Game 2147039 was only the 2nd Kings Gambit I played (in the days when I played far to quickly and was blitzing things without really thinking believeing I was invincible playing against opponents rated below about 1600 with my p1200 rating) on this site and I don't know what possessed me to play 3. d4 before I had played 3. Nf3.

I had a fair amount of luck in the subsequent play but by taking the game seriously from move 8 onwards I demonstrated that the stronger player can win with correct play even when significantly down, against seriously outranked opposition but it was a scare.

Yes, it's been one of my favorites for a while. I'm not really sure how I was able to gain an advantage. 😛. I like the analogy. Very dramatic.

From down two bishops to up minor pieces worth of material in 9 moves. It was, however, most likely an extremely unsound attack. Please be careful with comments game has not yet been completed. Game 5090430
