the guy was like an 1800, and the whole game I was feeding him stuff like "what the...?" after 5. ...a6 and "well, that's an interesting way of creating space. and then he just disconnected (I HATE THAT) I missed Qa4 on move 11, fortunately I caught it before he could castle. I either win a knight for the b2 pawn, or queens come off the board, and his spacial advantage means nothing.
Pretty good. I'll play a game right quick and post it

I'm sleepy, goin to bed now
but I'll look at em tomorrow.
we can turn this thread into a huge database if we all contribute.
we can offer analysis, corrections, tips, the whole deal.
could turn into a great idea.
well, I'm signing off.

Sombody should make a sticky topic for blitz games - there are tons of threads that have cropped up where people post their - in fact there are at least two others I have seen on this first page.
I'm trying to consolidate all blitz games into one thread, so that blitz games aren't occupying the whole first page of the chess forum.
and another reason blitz games are useful:
comedic value
I played this horribly, but by the end, the guy said uncle, good game, and signed out.

I'm sure I made mistakes in the game, but I really want to know how effectively I handled the endgame once it was kings and pawns.
it seems that he activated his king much sooner than I did, and I should have lost.
where can anyone find an improvement in my technique?

2. f4 Bc5
3. c3?!
try Nf3
then Nc3, then Na4...
that c5 bishop isn't so threatening when it's NOT ON THE BOARD!!!
Originally posted by rubberjaw303. c3 isn't a blunder. Maybe not the strongest move in your line, but not a blunder. Personally I would have preferred 3. Nf3 as well, although 3. Qh5 is probably also good there even if it looks somewhat caveman like. Also a move like Na4 in the KG seems to miss the point to me, which is to develop as rapidly as possible and get operations against f7 underway.

IMHO if your intent is merely to waste time to exchange any mildly menacing piece then stay away from gambits. 😉

it signifies dubious.
which is right inbetween a normal move and a questionable move.
Na4 is necessary, as it tries to eliminate the bishop pair, and clears the space for 0-0, which is a powerful thematic developing move in the King's Gambit.
Na4 is generally considered best in these lines, its not just me making stuff up.
Originally posted by rubberjaw30O-O is a powerful developing move in almost every opening 😉 I wouldn't call it "thematic" in the KG, however, since there are many lines of it where white plays Bc4 and allows the check on h4 that prevents him from castling.

Of the Bc5 I would call it a bit of a nuisance and it may be desirable to chase it away or exchange it off at some point. Often positional considerations like the B pair are less important in an opening like the KG than the tempi wasted with a move like Na4, plus with the B loose on c5 it may be a tactical target too.
I guess what I'm saying is that Nc3 is a good developing move that I'd play without much thought; Na4 I'd have to think a bit harder on, though, and I certainly wouldn't just play it automatically on the basis of obtaining the B pair or even O-O.

Should've left the title info on the pgn I was white both games
*bumping*
Originally posted by scandium0-0 is even more thematic in the KG, since it puts the rook on the already semi-open f-file, which applies immediate pressure to f7. Na4 is very common in the 2. ... Bc5 version of the KGD, and it loses no tempo, since it has been determined that black is best to play Bb6, then Nxb6, axb6, and white to move, so no tempo lost.
