    Here's a live chess game with a time control of 20 minutes 10 bonus seconds.  My opponent in this game apparently didn't take enough time in the game to make moves because he blundered early and often losing in tactical situations.

    Maybe this should go under blitz, but the tactics are still good.

    wow, you just punked that guy! I might have to try out the ponziani, i've played c3 followed by d4 many times but never pushed the pawn to e5

    Another Tactical Endgame - against this kind of opening (not sure the name) - I've been going for a queenside castle and opening up a rook file - Keeping the dark bishop for the pin on the F pawn is important...

    Great job, what was the time control on that game against Timao77?

    This is a game I had no business winning, blundering on the opening

    Lesson learned here, to stick to opening lines I'm familiar with and to show my opponent respect regardless of their rating.

    who played what in that game 17000mph?  was a very unusual opening

    Here's a big blunder - I lose my queen, but used the same concept as the game I won above with the pinned f2 pawn.

    so who won the game?  Your opponent resign? game doesn't say which, good game though.  I think time and patience might be one of your enemies in chess as they are in mine, I'm trying to discipline myself on analyzing the board before making a quick move that usually causes me to go down when I may have had a winning position, sort of like one of the games I'm playing now, I had a clear advantage, two unconnected rooks and a blocked in bishop for my opponent, king was still in the center of the board, I had my king castled and all my pieces developed, and I hung a bishop, now I am down material, although everything else is still the same.

    The game is still in play, he hasn't resigned

     I played black. Indeed, the game then and now seems a bit odd. Especially with the way I was allowed to spring the trap. Certainly, though this game wasn't perfect for either me or him. Critique and analysis are welcome.

    Here's a fun game from live chess 5 minute 5 bonus where my opponent obviously didn't see a surprise attack sac coming.
