He played terribly, I've never seen him play that badly before. Did he resign? usually he won't give in until mate.
A few little points, after 2...d6 white can play f4 and black tends to lose a tempo due to the normal way of playing against it with d5, but thats quite subtle and doesn't tend to matter apart from at the very top levels. I didn't like 4...Bd7, best to develop the other pieces first, Nf6 and Be7. He got over excited with 7 e5, instead Bb3 and black could end up overextended on the queenside and white is ahead on development. I think you could probably get away with 16...Qh1+ but getting the queens off leads to a won ending so fair enough.
It was hilarious how he ran after the pawn in the end, will he never learn? lol
i did consider 16 q h1+ but it looked more messy than going 4 peices up i think it is a nice warm up for mike next week ps i think the very last move i made was q b5 cheakmate some how but my writting isn't good
ps bd5 compleatly flumuxed me i was looking for all sorts of tricks and then pushing that pawn was strange then not exchanging queens because he played badley i can't tell how well i played very messey stuff gudging 6 i think overall
No, sometimes he plays well (in the opening I actually rate him quite highly, well for his level anyway), but sometimes you don't have a clue what he's doing. Can't really tell how well you played. I rate Neil higher than Mike though, but maybe that's just me, he just plays his a, e, d, and h pawns up one square and develops passively. Just take the centre with pawns and develop aggressively and it should be ok.
Well, good game. He played horribly, you exploited his mistakes.
Nothing much to add:)
You didn't make any big mistakes at all.
You were too busy exploiting his mistakes to have a chance to go wrong too badly:)
thankyou for that i think you're right i did not expect qe6 as a move and had to make a very quick adjustment but after wards qf3 dosent look as deadly as i thought
