    I don't even know why I am even replying to this but you are a complete idiot if you think this will change anybody's opinion on your obvious engine use.

    12...Qc7 "General opening development has taken place, now it's time for making a plan" ??? are you serious? I'm pretty sure most top players have a plan long before move 12, I'm pretty sure they have a plan or know the theoretical plans starting from move 1. Development is part of a plan not a thing that just happens in a chess game... Plus all your remarks on the tactical aspect point to using an engine to annotate this game, anybody 1400 and up could follow the flow of the attack (while not necessarily able to create it in their own games) with the queen and rook lining up and the bishop sac to mate.

    Get a life and please make sure RHP is not part of it.

    Well, the comment, "General opening development has taken place, now it's time for making a plan" was made by Alexandra herself in her anaysis on her website. So perhaps she is the one using the chess engine.

    P.S. I made no comment on my own anaysis of this game. It was all taken from her website. But I was wondering if 15...g6 to stop the queen going to h5 might be a better defensive plan for Black. What do you think?

    These blitz games must be played on those automatic recording chess boards.

    Never heard of that. More information?

    I pictured blitzers who cared enough to save their games making use of a videocam mounted over the board, but I can't say I have ever seen a picture of such a setup, and I have never been to a chess club to observe what goes on.

    The Columbia Chess Club in Columbia, SC have two such boards. In fact it recorded one game that I won against Paul Farb, rated 1941 at the time, when I was playing him on board 1 of the 2012 Club Championship.

    It is nice for you to post a game, but if you are using someone else's notes, it would be appropriate to cite the source in the original post, so they will receive credit.

    You should know by now that I am not an appropriate person. 😏

    P.S. I am nice, however.

    Watch what you say about real players in real life. One such player named by you in the past got quite a kick out of your moronic statements regarding her. Believe it or not even a Patzer like me can have very influential friends in the real chess world. I know Alexandra online and I've interacted with her before by messages and postings/comments.

    Give it a rest Ron, no one's fooled by you.

    Don't be spreading any false information about me to the women please. I have a hard enough time with the women as it is, so leave my moronic statements out. 😏

    Too expensive for the individual chess player IMO.
