A plethora of hanging pieces, missed opportunities, and blunders. I don't understand why people bother playing competitive chess when they don't understand the game. It's a waste of time...

I'm pretty sure GMs and IMs feel the same about my games. One IM went as far as saying of one of my games, "What is this? This is garbage. Absolute garbage." 😞
These games may appear horrid to our 'trained' eyes but these
guys are having fun and because they don't take it as seriously
as we do they are probably enjoying it more it than we do.
To me it does show the wonderful diversity of Chess.
The same game with the same rules can produce games like the ones
we are making merry with and yet also produce games we can marvel at.
I see Zenic has mated with the Bishop and Knight and today appeared
on page 1.
Hi Meadows.
I've seen some of your games....It's good garbage 😉
I've heard this years ago from an IM in reply to someone who
said I played a subtle move.
"Chandler is a caveman with a one tracked mind. He's as subtle
as a brick through your window. Just don't let him near your King."

All bow ...
and just what do you consider the lowest standard to be allowed to play chess?

If chess games are snow flakes then these are the ones that never hit the ground.
This doesnt mean we cant catch them all before then, combine them into a ball and hurl them at someone.

I thought this was a description of anyone who lost to Tal...
Last night/early this morning, he underpromoted to a bishop and then a knight and mated that way. It was actually pretty entertaining. (The bishop and knight mate appeared on the main page.)
***** Edit:
Right after posting this, I clicked the home page. All three mates were Zenic games !!!
"recent checkmates", how does Zenic do it?
