Paralyzation

Sort:
JuniorMinecraftian

I have played some games that have "paralyzed the opponent" during the game, in which they both resigned. Here are the games.

titust vs JuniorMinecraftian

JuniorMinecraftian vs X.

Could you give me an opinion on these games?

Ah, I made a mistake. BLACK resigned :/

Hi JuniorMinecraftian--outstanding finishes on both of those and you really showed your opponents what happens when they run out of space.  Just some observations, first vs. titust:

7...d5 was risky, opening the center before you'd castled.  White could've caused trouble with 8. exd5 Qxd5 9. Nxe5!, when your queen can't take (Re1) and ...Nxe5 runs into 10. d4, followed by Re1, etc.  7...d6 or 7...0-0 was much safer.

14. Kg1?? really lost it for your opponent.  14. d4 was crucial, when white's queen gets freedom, your knight takes a walk, and the a7-g1 diagonal is shielded from checks.  With control of the center and the bishop pair, white would have a good fight after that.

That's about it for that one, essentially a single-move loss thanks to the move 14 blunder.  Now vs. X:

Believe it or not, 2. h3 was already a ??.  Black answers 2...e5, setting up Fool's Mate, and you either gambit a pawn or your king takes an embarrassing walk.  g3, e3, Nf3, d3, b3--play anything but that move from now on!

8. Qe2?! was also dubious, hanging your c-pawn without reason.  You wanted d3 or Nc3 in there first to kick out the bishop.

20. Qe4 was an !, since at first glance it looks like g6 immediately is better.  Black can't stop it on the next turn though, because of 20. Qe4 g6? 21. fxg6 Bxg6 22. gxf6 Qxf6 23. e7+ (or 22...Bxe4 fxe7) and black loses material either way.

So good tactics in both games, but some sloppy opening play at times as well.  Be careful with aggression--don't get so caught up in attacking that you expose your own king by accident.  Against better opposition, this can often prove fatal.

Looks like you made a mistake with the second game.  I'm presuming -Black- resigned instead of White.

thank you for telling me that

Also pentiumjs, I try some very daring openings, to see if they would actually work. Just so you know.

game 2 black can still free himself with c6 (to stop mate) and a piece sac on e6, which would give him 3 pawns for the piece that he sacs (due to your weak g6 pawn). however, you would still be winning.
