Hello, this game had interesting tactical ideas throughout the game.  Normally against littlechesspartner my strategy is get into strategical lines and/or get a kingside attack rolling.  I have impressed the people at my chess club with vanquishing this enemy they struggle so hard against.  But today I was bored, so as black I chose 1. e5 as my response to 1. e4.

In this game, I especially like how I took advantage of every advantage I was given, and found my attack on the uncastled king quite solid.  I also found the checkmate at the end cute, I have to thank the 200 questions a day I've been doing in the polgar book.  Enjoy!

very nice opening... i am new to chess and I didn't see how "sacrificing" your knight was going to work out until you moved the pawn up.

If I was white I would consider 5. Bxf7+ followed by 6. Nxe4.

However, very nice play by you and a ruthless finish

Chesspartner got the opening a bit wrong i think, 3 Bc4 Nxe4 4 Qh5 is the normal way to play the vienna game, nevertheless a great win of course.

by the way, h6 had a bit more punch then you spectators may realize.  The point of h6 was to prepare f5, but this was never played because white kept on throwing me tactical oppertunities.  It was however what compelled black to move his knight with the terrible move 11. Nc3?

For some reason Little Chess Partner messed up the opening. but as you say, you took full advantage and I admire you for that. I always enjoy seeing those pesky little things whupped as Ali use to say.

Great game mate.

22. a4??  Why not Rd1?  If this is LCP on "hard", I'm not very impressed with that engine.  It's definetly aptly named.  BTW, what is the '1900' moniker by it's name? Surely that isn't it's actual rating.  You played pretty well.  At first, I thought h6 preventing Ng5 was a little too slow, but thinking more about it, it seems like a really solid move.  There isn't much white can do anyway.  Great game.

LittleChessPartner on hard has been supposed to be around 1900.  I'm on a less powerful computer but I set thinking time to 30 seconds...

Littlechesspartner is terribly weak, but hard to defeat.  This is because its really, really hard to figure out where he's making his mistakes, or how to punish his mistakes, and he ends up beating you.  I got lucky this game.

Congratz on beating LCP hard.  That is an accomplishment despite what anyone says.
