USCF Rating: 1850
I live in Connecticut USA. I learned to play chess a few years ago, but have only started playing seriously since 2 years ago. I also play tennis and ping-pong. I have a USCF membership and I've done 25 tournaments.
On Saturdays I play chess at the Newtown Chess Club. In the 2011 Club Championships I got 2nd and in the Team Championships I finished 1st for board three with a score of 3.5/4.
Lately my opening reportoire has been the KID and 1...e5 as black and 1 e4 as white. I like gambitting pawns and am used to playing down a pawn, especially in blitz games. But when my opponent tries to gambit a pawn I usually go for a countergambit and rarely accept.
One time my friend jrcolonial98 (also on this site) and I were at chess club playing a blitz game, I was playing black in the KID and I just randomly decided to sac a knight. We got into a bunch of crazy lines and black won. Later we did some analysis with Fritz 10 and found that the line is not bad for black. We are calling that variation the "Flying Ninja Attack".
The Flying Ninja Attack:
So far, our conclusion is that this line is perfectly playable for black and if white is not careful, he can land in a lot of trouble.
Recently I played in the Bobby Fischer Memorial at Newtown Chess Club. I tied for first 3-0, and also beat a master in round two.
