King's Gambit moments of pride

    Hey all! I'd just like to say how much llama ass this site whips. There I said it and with that let me show off some games I'm proud to have played using the King's Gambit.

    I haven't taken the time to properly analyze these games so I was hoping you all would post some things you think could have been improved upon. I'd also like to note that my opponent in both games favored making queen forays into my territory, which allowed me to develop my pieces with tempo. (This is not a claim of skill just a showcase of some games that I'm happy to have played)

    edit* let me take this time to promote a man who deserves more attention. KingsCrusher's channel on youtube features great annotations of famous games, helpful analysis, and other goodies. He's recently taken to posting 5 minute blitz games while commentating. I can't praise this guy enough, just check him out!

    with that,

    here they are:

    Game 2 he must have had to take a large dump, or something, since he had no reason to quit.

    You are a true gambiteer, and your games are full of energy, logic, and spirit!  Maybe not the soundest games, but they are the first amateur games to bring a smile to my face in a long time (perticularly the first one). 

    First, a vast improvement on the unsound h4?? in the second game.  I'm sorry, I have to put on my analysts hat and be critical sometimes.  h4 was an outright mistake.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    While I'm in the gambiteers mood, here are two moves in the second game, that not only are sound, but also vicious traps!  I don't expect you to learn anything from seeing these possibilities (other then occasionally, letting your opponent play what he wants can be beneficial), but they sure are cool!

    wow these are greater responses than I could have hoped for! thanks MichaelAtMinoru for your generous reply :)

    I actually can't believe how sweet that last position you posted is. Beautiful indeed! I find that there's nothing more satisfying than surprising an opponent, who thinks he's winning, with a crushing continuation.

    You have reminded me of something. I need to look past an ostensibly unsavory move to the possibilites that lay beyond. With time my intuition in these moments will sharpen, but for now I should challenge myself to peer into these lines.

    I loved the first game. I love the King's Gambit too, but I never tried Bc4. It was always Nf3 for me......your games proved to be a truly valuable insight on the tactical oppurtunities the King's Gambit truly offers. Great games! Thanks!
