A game versus Nabil

Sort:
MangoDurango

This was an interesting game that I played during chess club at school, and it contains a few sacrifices. Please disregard the apparently bad moves played by black in the middle (such as when the queen was hanging); I was merely attempting to reconstruct correctly the main theme of the game and the end position.

Please comment your thoughts!

Surprised Awesome game dude congratulations!  

Just one thing, why not 18.Rf1 (since Rb1 is answered by Rfb8).. ?

Oh now i see, better would be 16.Rab1 without losing tempo!

WTF is wrong with 18.Nxc3?

It seems pointless posting moves which never happened.

As I said, I reconstructed the game after it happened, and I didn't remember the exact sequence of moves at that point; so I decided to get to the position I remembered by making the "dummy move" Qc3 for black.

And you're right, Rab1 was much better.

Could you please explain how 11...Bxh6 is good? I don't understand yet. Also, I just realized that 25. Rxf7 was much better than Nxf7, because it led to an almost immediate win.

Nice job Dennis!

Well, with the Nf8 option, it seems like his piece wouldn't be active, while my pieces are. And with the Nd4 option, I just continue doing the same thing that I did in the game (e5 and then Ne4). However, f6 seems interesting. All of these options, though, I think lead black to have a worse position than if he had not taken the bishop in the first place.

Huh I never saw that variation.
