Games of quality??!

I tried my birthday game 2206 and got 2.Qh5. I suppose it's a lucky dip

Out of all of the games 2.Q5 was played 23 times. On 4 occasions black played 2...Nf6 and left the pawn hanging but still managed to win all of the games.

The games are fun to look at but would not serve as an instructive database for an inexperienced player

Hi Kingshill.

Yes 'games of quality' might be stretching it a bit. 🙂

And it is pot luck. (good fun though).
Of course stronger players will pick up very little (but see below) from
the games except spotting quicker sharper wins.

Weaker players should pick up loads of ideas and avoid the blunders their peers make.

I recommended 2...Ng6 against 2.Qh5 ages ago.


Dropping the e-pawn to get a big delopment on the Queen.
Seems like it is working 3/4 is good stats.
You said Black won all the games perhaps you stop looking.

kiadvent - benda contained that beautiful combination that Black missed.
A combination that would not look out of place in a book full of GM combinations.
And that tragic finale....



Here is the full game.

The player eagleswing may have learned something from his two 2.Qh5 losses.
And that is all I am about. Helping the under 1400's to enjoy their Chess by
raising their standad just a bit. And showing (hopefully) that Chess is fun.
It's a game. Enjoy it win or lose.

I got a different game 2206 - White loses his Queen in 6 moves!
GAPAC won't be putting his Queen on the same open diagonal as his King again.
And players of his class who see this game will not do likewise.
(though you and I know they will.) 😉
