This the closest I've come to playing an absolutely perfect game, no mistakes at all

Not every move
almost, which move are you reffering to.

first mistake was playing 1. e4
1. d4 is better
lol
you may be right, but I think debate is in another forum
yeah i just think that by playing 1. e4 the game is much quicker and doesnt really go into what chess is really all about
queens pawn openings require more thinking sometimes and lead to longer games more of the time
thats just my opinion =D
I agree some of that, but you still can't consider 1.e4 a mistake, it's debateable wheather or not it's best.

Well done, very accurate indeed (if Toga 2 is to be believed) -- Re1+ wasn't the best, but it can hardly be called a mistake. His reply, Kf7 instead of Be7, that was a mistake.

3.... e6 was a better move for ur opponent. He should have tried to castle and get his king out of the center of the board.
like JG27 said his Kf7 reply was a big mistake
the only reason you were able to get in such a quick attack is cuz like i said before ur opponent neglected to castle and get his king to safty

Actually, the most common move (and the main line) is 3. ...d6, so there's nothing wrong with that move.
The problem is that this opening, the Alekhine's Defense, is supposed to be a "closed" opening. If Black lets the game open up too early (like in this one), he's going to get pummeled.
3...d6 is the book move I wouldn't say that was mistake, but my opponent should have made a better effort to castle.
Well, book move or not... like i said andpvmike said himself, his opponent should have tried to castle.
Chessbee my opening was text how can say that was weak. Fritz considered all my moves to one of the stongest moves if not the strongest, but I'm sure you know more than fritz.

wow that was a perfect game. You totally demolished that opponent? (BTW can i play people rated that high who are so bad :P) If he was really 1874 then he must have cheated to get that far if he would move king instead of blocking. Unless this was a quick game... Well i would say you played just about prefectly lol GJ

True, and my point was that Black should have kept the game closed. In this opening, Black will always take a while to castle, and it is best for him to make sure White doesn't have many moves to "open" the game up before he can castle.
Granted, Black had a chance, but messed it up. I personally don't know whether or not you played the perfect game, but your opponent was far from it. Nice job exploiting his weaknesses.

move 11, you really should have taken with the bishop, to refrain from creating a gaping hole in your defence.
The reason I took with pawn instead of the bishop, so I could play Bb5+ forcing his knight back to d7 and leaving his king exposed. I didn't see the hole on my king side becoming a problem. But my computer did slightly favor taking back with the bishop, but only slightly.

You chose the active attacking line, giving up pawn structure for a bit of tempo/initiative -- cool -- Dynamic chess. I'm a believer.... I spent so much of my chess life playing as conservatively as possible... turns out a less stodgy style suits me a lot better... more fun, too.
