1. d4 d5 2. c4 { The Queen's Gambit. The best opening for white according to http://becomeawordgameexpert.com. } e5 { The Albin Counter-Gambit. An aggressive yet uncommon response. It attempts to dislodge white's powerful d4 pawn so that black can push his D pawn to d4 for a powerful outpost. } 3. dxe5 { The main line } d4 {The Outpost I talked about earlier. } 4. e3 { A fatal mistake by white. Black wasn't going to gambit a pawn to get an outpost only to have it trashed the next move by white. } Bf8b4 { Putting the king in check and kind of screwing white over. } 5. Bc1d2 {The obvious move in this position. } dxe3 { A trap. White cannot take the "free" bishop on b4. } 6. Bd2xb4 { Well, that's what happened. } exf2 { A devastating move by black. Keep in mind the white king cannot take the pawn otherwise Qd8xd1 is 1-0. } 7. Ke1e2 { His only move } fxg1=N { An underpromotion! The knight cannot be taken, Bc8-g4 wins the white queen. } 8. Ke2e1 { Again, his only move. } Qd8h4 { White cannot play g3, Qh4-e4 wins the white rook on h1. } 9. Ke1d2 { Only move. } Nb8c6 { Attacking the bishop and developing a piece. } 10. Bb4c3 Qh4f4 { Putting the king in check, He cannot move to d3, Bc8-f5 is mate. } 11. Kd2e1 { Back to e1 again. } Qf4e4 12. Ke1d2 { He cannot move to f2, Ng1-h3 leads to trouble for the king. } Bc8g4 { Attacking the queen, getting another piece involved and gaining a tempo. } 13. Qd1e1 { Hoping that black will trade off queens and the pressure on the king will be released. } O-O-O { Putting the black king in safety, putting the white king in check and getting the rook to an extremely active square.} 14. Kd2c1 { Yet again, his only move. } Qe4xe1 { Now I can trade off queens because after Bc3xe1 Rd1 wins the e1 bishop. } 15. Bc3xe1 Rd8d1 16. Kc1c2 { The king is being harassed. } Rd1xe1 { Winning a piece. He can take the knight to "equalise the exchange..." } 17. Rh1xg1 Bg4e2 { ...But this wins the white bishop or rook. } 18. e6 { A last ditch hope that I'll take the bishop and the white e6 pawn will go on a rampage. I am NOT falling for it. } fxe6 19. Bf1xe2 { Better to lose two points instead of three. } Re1xg1 { The purpose of the pin. White, a whole rook down and his knight pinned down, is in a lost position. He resigned later. } 0-1

1. b3 {What is this nonsense? the game is now =} 1... d5 2. Bb2 Bg4 {It's a move. Possibly not the best move in that position, but it's legal.} 3. f3 {Tempting therefore always usually bad. 3.h3 was an option if the Bishop was bugging you.} 3... Bf5 4. e4 {You could have played that on move one.} 4... dxe4 5. Qe2 exf3 6. Qb5+ {Again tempting but 6.Nxf3 was on the board offering the c2 pawn when Qb5+ is really good.} 6... Qd7 7. Qxb7 {We can see what you were up to. You were hoping for Qc6 when Bb5 pins and wins the Queen. You get people moaning about Hope Chess but it's how you learn when you are starting out and it displays a certain knack for the game and bades well for the future. I'd rather see players playing Hope Chess than Bland Idealess Chess.} 7... Qe6+ 8. Kf2 Be4 {That's torn it. White's best looks like grabbing the c7 pawn and leaving the Bishop on f1 to hold g2.} 9. Bb5+ {More hope. And why not? You are never going to have a dream come true if you never have a dream. 9....Bc6 10.Bxc6+ Qxc6 11.Qc8 Checkmate. Never going to happen?....er...Take a look at the Englund and Blackmar Gambits see how many times it has happend....You gotta have a dream....} 9... Kd8 {White's Queen is now trapped so he tries...} 10. Bc4 {It worked. Black resigned. 1-0 to Hope Chess. Black is winning here. 19...Bxb7 20.Bxe6 fxg2 and White can resign as all hope is gone, but staying within the theme of the thread and it's under promotion.} 10... fxg2 11. Bxe6 {Threatening Qc8 mate. See I can hope just as well as the next man.} 11... gxh1=N+ {Check!} 12. Ke3 Bxb7 {White is a Rook and a piece down. Hopeless.}
