A game i found on youtube of all places, but it is highly entertaining! Would be interesting to hear your comments.

Strange opening, but an interesting and surprising end for black. Who could have resisted an open Queen? Someone who didn't underestimate the opponent, I guess. To me, that's the worst mistake made in chess: Believing that the opponent just made a stupid arbitrary move, while it in fact, as will be evident if not dealing with it, was a successful move...

one of your annotations is wrong --> 13. f4+ if king takes pawn then d4 is an immediate mate!

sweet game by the way!

Yes, after 13. f4 Kxf4 14. Rf1 doesn't lead to mate after Ke5.

I'm not sure 7. Ng5 can be considered a "brilliant move" given that it leads to a forced draw with best (and obvious) play. Objectively, it is a mistake.

d4 wouldn't be but g3 would be.

Actually, I take that back. Black king would just retreat to e5 then d4 and white's queen's bishop guards f4.

 No, g3 is not  mate because the king can go back to e5. d4 is check from the bishop on c1 and covers the e5 square.

Thanks loomis. I was editing my post as you were replying.

Wow, that was nothing but Brilliance!

You're right on the money. Any decent player would be (and should be) happy to take a draw after 7 Ng5?! (I admit that it's a beautiful mating net, but only weak players would fall for it.)

Very Nice

 

Good game!

 

I will try this line when someone makes 1... d5 against me...

Thankyou for posting your comments, interesting to read them all. The link of this actual game is on youtube and its about time you guys saw it! I dont know who its between but check it out! :-

I admit that once bishop takes queen then in theory it should be draw by perpetual check but I certainly wouldnt go so far as to say it is a bad move. I suppose it should be a draw. I just think this game was a bit of fun and it appears attractive with a Queen sacrifice and fun King chase. Watch the actual video guys and tell me what you think.

Ooops sorry I realise i have made one mistake when copying down the moves from this video, the penultimate move for white is Nc5+ not Nf2+, however, the result is the same.
