Not posted for a while and thought this game had some good points. I've not played much live chess recently as I've been focusing more on online so hopefully this has helped me improve.

@ new-at-chess - 1st game -  5... qxd4 was obviously a terrible move - you could have mated him much quicker than you did but you got the job done in the end

interesting position ,were u came out on top, what more can a person say..

spinfidelety

Well Mike, since posting my game I looked at it with a chess engine and found an interesting mating net for white, which we all missed - enjoy!

Okay, got another one, my opponent made a HUGE mistake, which collapsed his entire defense.

@ Gump - yeah nice triple fork there. I thought your pawn was hanging for a while and you maybe should have defended it with 7. bf4 - his b6 seemed a waste of time.

He definitely shoud have taken on e5 with his knight when your queen attacked, thereby chasing your queen too.

For some reason I'm unable to post my games. I can't find the submit button once I get everything finished.

  Well, anyway, I have a 2-day tournament starting today. Wish me luck!

Once you've got to the preview step, click insert (bottom left), then click post comment. If this doesn't help you'll need to be more specific. 

Which tournament are you in btw?

Even though your opponent was quite clueless on crucial stages of the game, I did like it due to your timely exploitation of every weakness you could conceive during play, with a remark to 13. d5.

you said "I don't think I was supposed to do that." but it is perfectly okay. It's called the King's gambit accept, I've played it a few times and had relatively good games, you just have to be careful that you can still develop. The point is for white to have you waste a turn by taking it, so that he can develop before you.

Yes, I was playing a three minute, and I'm not so great on short time, so I missed the hanging pawn until I looked back on the game. I was surprised he didn't take it though
