Pseudoprogrammer
This is a game between myself (1000 ish) and a 1500ish player. My rating would definitely be higher if I didn't resign 80% of my games in the first 15 moves after losing a pawn or something due to a blunder. I have a strange OCD type thing where I can no longer play a game after I make a single mistake. If you've played me I will often make a move, see a flaw in my move, and resign even before seeing if my opponent will exploit the flaw. I don't know why I do this I just can't stand it. But enjoy one of my (few) games that I didn't make a mistake and resign in :)

nice check mate!

Hahahaha well done mate! ur getting the idea of how to attack which is good to see...
P.S. Sometimes however checking everytime u get chance isnt the best method, sometimes it helps them and not u so pls be weary of such tactics.
A bad game is just that a bad game. That doesnt mean he plays gambits badly or that gambits are bad to play. He just played it badly in this game and his lower rated friend played it well and made him pay for it nicely!...
This game really fufills the quote "always check, it might be mate!" (Oh how punny).
Yep and i have also heard the saying "patzer see's check patzer give's check!" not always wise to check. In this case however it worked out great...

Yes, that was truly the King's Gambit!

Hey, psuedo, as a new friend I'm glad to see what you're like in the opening game. That was great! I must say that tops my favorite long game victory by sheer tactic, tempo,brawn and brain! Not only was that a great game for displaying to make a first impression, it was very instructive. I always thought the Scandinavian Gambit was a joke and a novice's sign of aggression via the queen, but you used it to skillfully pin your opponent onto his first 3 rows. WOW!

However, he did get butchered
Misery: Gambits gave me full permission to use all details pertaining to this game :P
