Submit to chesslife!! Great game!!

and not only the 10 years old...what makes that game more publishable is that mine was played in correspondence chess in fast computers era...so I doubt anyone from some chess site or magazin would take it serious...especially that even when I showed it in my chess club the first question was: did you use engine help ? 🙁

I am waiting a bit more(a couple of monthes) to get a decent ELO rating(it is only provisional now) and maybe after that I will try to submit it(I might get more credibility after)...
If someone stronger(master or so) would come to say "I played this in correspondence chess" many will believe...if noname would come, who would believe...
still, on the other side maybe until I submit it the computers will get so strong as they will spot this sacrifice imediately right...hehe

and, do you think anyone would open a thread for a game in which he cheats ? 🙂

I think cheat accusations aren't allowed in the forum? So guys, stop, go and play your own nice game if you can and post it rather then being jelaous !😠

You need to play more, if you think this is your best chess game.
It was good.....seems very easy to me, but good anyway.

Keep on playing.

I think I have just finished my best chess game ever (still, I need to recheck it wit a computer to see if my sacrifices were correct)...anyway, the Q sack is for sure winning:

Wow, that's absolutely brilliant - you should be really proud of that game, I'd print out a picture of the position after the queen sac, get it framed, and hang it up in my room. 🙂

Yes, that was an awesome game, and you should be proud of your efforts. This was just from scanty observation, but Ng3 after the Rook sac seems to be a better defense. Maybe there's something I missed, but it seems to prevent the Queen sac, as the e2 square is open for the king.

hi vipiu , what happened with this already RHP-famous game ? it was published in a chess journal , or commented in a chess website ?

That was just beautiful. I am truly amazed at what people can find.

I am always looking for that type of action but rarely seem to find it.....

Well done!

1. e4 e6 {The counter-attacking French Defence a great favourite of both
Botvinnik and Korchnoi as well as Nigel Short.} 2. d4 (2. b3 {is an alternative
well worth considering and is the subject of a fine book by Thomas Johansson
entitled "The Fascinating Reti Gambit". Another rare line which I have tried
several times as White is 2. c4 which also gets the game off the beaten track
early on.}) 2... d5 3. e5 {The Advance variation where White aims to gain
space and restrict Black's main problem piece-the bishop on c8.} c5 4. Nf3 {
The most common alternative to Whites most frequent move here of 4. c3.} Nc6 5.
Bb5 {John Watson in his excellent book on the French points out that whilst
this move has been played fairly frequently it loses time and Black has scored
no less than 80% in games after Blacks next move.} Qb6 {Black often plays this
move adding further pressure to d4 but here the queen move also kicks the
bishop on b5.} 6. Nc3 cxd4 ({
This looks even stonger than Watsons recommendation of} 6... Bd7 7. Bxc6 bxc6

13. Nh4 Ba6 $17 {Dobravec-Brvar, SLO-ch U10 2007 still its interesting to note
that children under 10 can play as well as this!}) 7... Bd7 {So White has not
only lost time but Black is on the verge of solving the problem of the "bad
bishop" on c8. If Black can satisfactorily solve this in the French then he is
generally on the way to obtaining a good game.} (7... Bb4 {is poor as after} 8.

in supporting a pawn or piece on d4 but here it does not in fact support
anything.} Be7 13. b3 {A further weakening move as now Black can aim to attack
b3 via the pawn advance a5-a4. Better is to challenge Black's central knight
on f5 with Ng3.} a5 14. c4 d4 {Simple but effective chess-Black gains a
guarded passed pawn in the centre which restricts Whites black squared bishop
to boot.} 15. Bg5 f6 {A typical "French" move where Black gets rid of the
cramping pawn on e5 and in this case with tempo gain.} 16. exf6 gxf6 {
Opening the g-file for an attack on the White king. Note that whilst Black's
king is still uncastled it is not in any danger due to Black's pawn mass
giving such good central control.} 17. Bf4 $2 {This is a fatal error since it
allows e5, and hence potentially e4, with gain of tempo.} (17. Bd2 {
instead gives some hope.}) 17... Rg8 18. h3 {Steinitz long ago stated one
should never weakens your king cover by pawn advances unless absolutely forced
to and here White did not have to make this move.} ({After} 18. Ng3 {
White is worst but still in the game.}) 18... e5 {
Now Black runs amok with a magnificent finish.} 19. Bh2 ({If instead} 19. Bd2 {
then simply} Qc6 {threat Qxf3 is overwhelming.}) 19... Rxg2+ $3 {
Simply brilliant!} 20. Kxg2 Qb7 21. Bg3 (21. Kg1 Qxf3 22. Ng3 Nh4 23. Qxf3
Nxf3+ 24. Kg2 Nh4+ 25. Kg1 Bxh3 {wins easily as Black can play Kf7 to bring
the queens rook into the attack and hit the Ng3 with h5-h4 or f5-f4.}) 21...
Qxf3+ {The real point of the combination started with 19...Rxg2+} 22. Kxf3 {
Now its a forced mate in 8 moves-can you visualise it from here?} (22. Kh2 {
offers no real hope eg} Bc6 23. Nf4 (23. Rg1 Nxg3 24. Nxg3 Qxf2+ {mates}) 23...
exf4 24. Qxf3 Bxf3 25. Bxf4 O-O-O {and with two pieces for a rook plus a
powerful passed d-pawn Black has an easy win here.}) 22... Bc6+ 23. Kg4 {
White bravely continues and sends his king on a walk of no return. A\/t least
White is only wasting electrons in continuing and not postage stamps as in
"old fashioned" correspondence chess.} Nh6+ 24. Kh5 (24. Kh4 Bf3 {
and f5 mates next move.}) 24... Bf3+ 25. Kxh6 (25. Kh4 Nf5# ) 25... Bf8+ 26.
Kxh7 Be4+ 27. Kg8 Ke7 ({After} 27... Ke7 {
White has no usefull move for example if} 28. Qd2 {then} Bh6# ) 0-1
