Keeping in mind my ranking 😀
My opponent was ranked a little higher than I was during the game and apart from a few aimless moves by my queen early on I quite liked my effort from move 13 on - 13. ... Bc8xg4.
Although quite obvious, I guess, for higher ranked players, I really stormed his king's side once he'd castled (I had the pieces) ... this is t ...[text shortened]... cky move 13.
(not sure how to post a snapshot of the board - will look it up and try soon!)
Originally posted by Sicilian SmaugYou played some nice games. Good job! I especially like the 1st game you posted.
4 recent finished games I liked:
Game 2202056 Yugoslav Attack
Game 2202004 No defence against Ne3-g2-f4
Game 2202005 Resigns on account of Nxf3+. gxf3, Nxf3+ wins Q, I like the move 13..Nf6, manouvering the knight to a more useful spot, If Qxf6?? then Bg5! wins Q
Game 2201508 Ruy Lopez

Seeing the two pastings I received at the hands of the dragon, I thought this little hobbit should show some of his better games! None of these are terribly recent, but they're all reasonably good.

Originally posted by treetalkI see no reason to take your ranking into account, you played a great game. The beauty is only slightly marred by your opponents insistence that development is for sissies and pushing pawns shows a macho endurance for pain. Your temporary sac is obviously sound and you finished it off with precise and eloquent play. Well Done!

Not emphatic, I realize, and there are at least two major blunders, but the game was edge-of-the-seat stuff against an imaginative opponent, and I was quite pleased with the fact that my King was able to subsist despite his unceremonious ejection into the centre.
Originally posted by chessiclegame 1 looks pretty good although i think 11.Qd1 was inaccurate, 11.b4 Nb3? 12.Rb1 Nxc1 13.Rbxc1 d6 14.g4 looks strong and allows white to take advantage of blacks closed position for a kingside push.

11.Qd1 and the subsequent 13.e4 close the position giving black the opportunity to play something akin to Re8-g6-Bf8-Bg7, had he not openned the queenside white is hard pressed to break through.
Originally posted by Sicilian SmaugHey, interesting, I hadn't noticed that, although I had wondered about his decline in rating a while back - I don't think he was using at the time, though, he made a very human error in our other game despite generally outplaying me, and I think he'd have carried on to the bitter end if he'd been relying on an engine.
Against a 3(b) as well, wonder if he was using at the time.
Originally posted by DeepThoughtInteresting you decided to avoid the mainline with 9.Bxf6 gf
Game 1211974
9...Be6 seems to be a blunder, perhaps 9...Be7 10.Bxf6 Bxf6 11.c4 b4 12.Nc2 a5 should yield near equality.

I thought I played this one fairly well.
:'( If only I can play like that all the time, sigh...
Here are probably the two sickest games I have played on RHP so far. Both pretty one sided, but really fun for me nonetheless. 🙂
