Hi all,

wanted to show u guys this interesting game I played today..I liked this one cause of the various sacs I made (probs unsound too xD).feel free to point out some tactics we missed...enjoy

 

I've played this line with white, not sure how the text goes though.

In my game I played 6.Qf3 Qxf3 7.gxf3 dxc6 and white will have semi-open g file for the rook and possibilty for the white bishop to go to h3 square. Only problem I see is f2 square, but I might be wrong.

In your game though, white maybe thought of bringing the bishop to g2 square, but immediately ran into trouble. Therefore, I think bring queen to e2 square might have been a mistake, blocking the bishop and losing valuable time.

Didn't you miss mate on move 21? ...Qh2

No - 22. Kf2 escapes.   But I initially thought the same thing when I watched it play out.

Cool game by the way - a lot of interesting exchanges!

---

----Sorry, missed that!

interesting line.hhmmm...just realized this transposed into a Scotch Game!(the normal move order is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4) then it continues 3...exd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6.so yeah...the Nimzowitch Defense has some transpotitional qualities.

yeah fianchetting just seems like an afterthought and just plain wrong in this type of position....I can just start the pawn storm and mow him over.....but my opponent played well up until a certain point.

thanks guys....I like this defense as a lot of unusual positions come up

I don't like 12.  f5 it obviously worked out well in the game so congrats.  But, after simply bxc5 and q-h5 at a glance white looks better to me.  Especially since after n-f7 then exf and black is in trouble

I wanted to ask why didn't white take the free queen ?

the pawn was pinned tom

i suggest

you had a forced mate in 4 and missed it

but im also an awesome chess player. i am not my rating

also best defense after 19 b-d6 is qxd3 and white still has a lot of fighting to do

14. ... Rg8 is a better move.

---

yeah f5 probs a mistake 12 Be3 caught me off gaurd and got flustered at that point....just wanted to get the pawns rolling ASAP.

---

14...Rg8 runs into 15.Qf3 and I'd be forced to swap queens or lose a full rook...didn't wanna swap queens

---

Or you could just take the queen since his bishop is pinned.

 You might not be one, but usually when a player says they're 'awesome' or something similar, they are either terrible, or cheaters. I remember in school all the kids that thought they were 'awesome' at chess. They would hang pieces left and right and I beat them easily.

A good player will realize how many flaws he has.

Wow, nice sacs... [this is a compliment] it reminds me of a game where someone gave up a queen and pawn to lure the WHITE king to the SIXTH rank! Then he proceeded to mate White, so the Queen sac was worth it. And he actually got back all his material due to a windmill.

oh right.....doh!another brain fart during my thinking process during the game!thanks for pointing that out
