I don't know about everyone else, but I have had a few narrow escapes in my games. Here is one where I developed my queen a little early. If anyone else wants to post some similiar games, be my guest 😀

When I read this thread the first two games I thought of :


Game 566917

Game 566916

Don't let his current rating fool you, he was rated 1560 when these games started. He opened fast had my king on the run fast. Brought his queen into the game developed quickly and I thought he was going to slaughter me. The bishop move I made in these games to expose his queen was actually done at the same time in both games.

By the way also my first clan victory for paul's clan the Virgin Sacrifices.

There's a couple moves in this game I don't comprehend. Some piece captures are left unanswered? I don't see the recapture as giving position so I'm a tad bewildered myself.

My hats off to Fnugbatter. He cleaned my clock in our first game, and I thought he would do it again...he was slowly choking the life out of me before he got a bit greedy and opened a crack in the door...

Hey, yeah I agree that 9. d4 was better than d3. Are you talking about me missing some good moves or my opponent? It was a pretty sticky game and I do appreciate analysis. Oh and congrats on those two games against vbtd he is better than his current rating. I also played him when he was in the 1500's. Here they are...

Game 593451
Game 540721

In the drawn game I think that he might've been able to win, but my endgame really sucks so who knows 😀

Thanks,

Edit: Here's another narrow escape...I nearly died after I realized what I did on move 22.

I wish I had squeakers 🙁.... Most of my games are me getting blown outta the water or me playing something clever 🙂. I'll check some of my games and see if I had some close ones, I can't remember any though..........Found one, Game 784595. I enjoy pawns 😀. Another good game, I had great position then messed up but ended up pulling it out Game 738848.
