Approximately what were the ratings, and what were the time controls?

1400+ for me, 1700+ opponent. Correspondance chess with 3-day time controls, but we played as if it was like Live Chess making our moves quickly right after the other.

very nice games you played. i see you are fond of the king's gambit, and it seems like a bad idea to try to pin your pieces, as you are a very slippery opponent.

Thanks. I do like to play the King's Gambit, especially in live chess with quick times, but I don't play well with it because I focus too much on attacking first without setting up a good position.

Wow Qb3 caught me off guard! You are dangerous when being attacked! That's why I always get my king safe before launching an attack!

I am a pretty strong attacker, as my TT rating is several hundred points higher, and I always try to find some way to attack something especially one that is undefended. I would definitely say tactics is my strongest area of the game. Now, I am very slowly developing my positional game so I can get a good position before attacking.

In game 1 when you say he can come closer to attack your knight you have Ndf6 which would be pretty dangerous for him. Also, not to discredit you but in game 2 I think your opponent had no idea how to play the KG


That's okay, that is why I don't play as much of the King's Gambit today because I don't know much about it myself outside of the attacking the f7 square with the bishop, knight/queen/rook attack. If they prevent that, I don't do as well.
