good play , but FAR from perfect. Since when are doubled pawns perfect?
pvmike
Double pawns are always bad in this case they gave a more dynamic position, if I had taken with the bishop I would not have been able to play Bb5+ and continue my attack. So I would not consider doubling my pawns a mistake in case.
NM Zug
Chess is a dynamic proposition, not subject all the time to dry, logical conclusions. Your moves were to the point and consistent...get the King! You can't be blamed for the weak play of your opponent. You took advantage of it and were rewarded with a nice win.
Well done!

'perfect game' means that both sides plays the best possible moves. If your way to think that perfect game means that only you play best possible moves, I can give you a great example of that kind of game:
1. f3 e5
2.g3 Qh4#
A perfect game by black =)
And remeber that computer isn't yet perfect. Maybe it missed some highly strategical move or great way to weaken your king position. Who knows?
I said almost perfect, and I meant perfect on my side, but good pointt.

You did a good job of cramping his position early. Black's dark squared bishop has less scope than someone who just poured out all their mouthwash. I thought moves 7-10 for White were very strong. This limited everything for Black. Then you followed up with the 13 Qd4 idea, which makes sense. That dark squared bishop isnt going anywhere soon, and neither is the King side rook. Pretty good stuff Mike.

Really good game, your opponent played badly, and I'm pretty sure he didn't cheat, he just didn't know that opening that well
WellRounded
lol, boy, people sure are quit to drag someone down lol... how pathetic.
Good Game.
nuclearturkey
Well played. I like gxf3. I would have probably chosen the duller option.
Idiosyncra3y
I like that you took with the pawn... Good idea. You were confident that he wouldn't get a chance to attack through that hole. good, well considered agression :)
Klacsanzky
People don't need to be so smug. He played a very exacting game. Some 1800s do play like this.
