I just finished this game about a half an hour ago, played it on live chess. I just wanted to post it so I could keep look over it tommorow and maybe get a couple comments. Before I sac'd my bishop was this game even? I started to get lost, I love the way it ends though, I'm sure the person I was playing wasn't to happy. Crazy sacrafices all went my way. I wasn't even sure how I was going to pull it off at first.

I don't see any craziness in your sacrifice..... you know that most of his pcs cannot develop and you had a chance breaking up his king side blockade, eventually using your white bishop that is obviously of non positional value. I consider it as a heroic act for the white bishop.
It is this nature of playing chess that i like... so profound possibilities of strategies. Good game!

Bxp that sac? Like a bite from a gnat. Why would you need analysis from this game? I hate it when the forums are clogged with look at my game, endless puzzles and junk. This is Junk! This game needs no analysis whatsoever. You won, your opponent was rated about 200. What do you want? Pat your own back. Stevie Wonder could have won that game. Harsh, absoulutely, and necessary because if you play and don't know you played a completly inferior opponent yet played smart and concise and won, then, well, no help from the rest of us will do you any good ;(
See but here is the problem. I only hoped that the bishop sacrafise would work my way, I couldn't see that far ahead to tell myself that it was the best move. I was tired, I saw the right side all clogged up and I just went for it. No need to be a jerk, if you would have read the post I said I was kind of posting it so I could review it the next day when I had a little clear mind. What I was wondering was, with the position on the board when I sac'd my bishop, was it a justifiable sacrafise? Was it something that I only got lucky with that my opponent didn't know how to respond? Would the sac confuse more than the opponent I had? Thank you for being so kind BTW, you really make this place look welcoming.
