How my new hobby of hunting down the opponents queen let me down!



And I of course resigned.

How the game should have gone with 11. Bxh7

Seems like a entertaining Gambit.

I like wild positions (fast and slow) Not that I am great but it seems like you releave the tension a bit fast at times. Maybe I am wrong.

I have noticed the more pressure you build the harder my opponent finds a way to blunder.

Try to maintain an edge and apply more tension. Then cash out when the time is prime.

Then again I could be giving you a nice losing recipe every ones style is a bit different

last game

12. qh3 looks more accurate as g6 can move for black in the middle there. and I think the q h3 locks in the defeat a bit cleaner.

I think Black's Nf4 scuppers that idea!

LOL
Bishops are allowed to take knights???? 🙄

Seriuosly - I saw that as a threat in the game (understandable as it was blitz)

... but the memory stayed with me!
Apologies for my gross stupidity!

Thanks Robbie. I've seen that and intend to play it but
whenever the opportunity arises I baulk at getting my
Q out early and blocking the KB.

Looks good though with the Qb5+ threat in many lines.

It makes me want to play nf3 just to get into these kind of lines. I really dig it.
I like to be aggressive to the point of stupidity at times.

Sorry that was a stupid reply. Getting the lines mixed up in my head now!
(I really should invest in a board!)
