Crazy sacs of mine that worked, but let's make swiss cheese...

    Oh, nice game... Want to play an unrated correspondence? I choose unrated because I hate it when people lose on time and their ratings drop. :D

    I guess I didn't make it clear that I'd love any feedback on this game, thank you!

    Very well played. I'm curious - when you moved 23. Bf4, you must have known that you had him, or you would have played dxe7 and you'd probably have won by resignation. Did you really just calculate everything ten moves ahead and decide to have some fun? 'Cause it looks awful complicated and I would have just played it safe...

    I played this quite a while ago, but it's not like dxe7 wins the queen.  Bf4/e5 control the center, and I thought they prevented counterplay.  I like dxe7 more now, 2 B's open board/exposed king, than I did a year ago.  They both seem winning, but I also wasn't very familiar with the principle of keeping it simple when you're ahead!  I remember doing a lot of calculating to make sure I could get all my pieces in the attack.  And the mating net set by e6/d5 then b4 (note threat of b5#) is awfully tricky to navigate.

    You're a genius. And your annotations are some of the best I've ever read. I really like how you constantly congratulated yourself, yet still had time to slip in an insult to your opponent. I feel like you've not only made me a better chess player, but a better person -- not as good as you, but better.

    I was told there would be cheese in this thread and there is none.

    I am very disappointed.

    Oh yeah a chess game. Woot...

    Knight takes f7 was a tasty move and whites pieces were very well placed to attack the weak king. Nicely done. Nothing crazy about the sacs at all. You seem pretty proud of 24. Bf4 and it's totally winning, but dxe7 is probably better and 24. e5 would see black checkmated very quickly. There was 29. Bf1+ which checkmates quicker.

    No-one wants to read that kind of idiotic, narcissistic annotation. The comments spoiled the display of your nice attacking game.

    Padman, what makes the annotation narcissistic?  It's more silly than anything (my queen is quite the seductress?)  Anyways, do you mean 23 e5 ?

    29. Bf1, I remember thinking b5 was a problem, but it sure doesn't look that way now.  29...b5 30. Qc6+ Qb6+ 31. Bxb5#  Thanks for your input!

    @Loomis, Check out some posts by drhypnosis on interesting annotation, I think it's fun, but to each their own.  Annotating my outlandish annotation seems just as fun for y'all?  Have at it!
