My First ever BRILLANT !!
Today, I got on Chess.com like any other day to play some chess. I when to play some Blitz games, but accidently hit Rapid. That turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to me. I've played over 1300 Chess games since I was 8 and have never gotten a Brilliant ever and none of my opponents have ethier (I think). Also, If you want the Link to this game its at the end.
Well let's start this slight fast paced explanation of this game,
The game started with Italian Game, I played the Two Knights Defense with Nf6 following Bc4. He goes for the "Knight Attack" or better known as the "Fried Liver" with 4. Ng5. After 4. d5 and white taking the pawn, I play the first bad move the game, the inaccuracy 5. Nxd5. After which my opponent plays one the two Brilliant moves this game, 6. Nxf7. After capturing the Knight, my opponent plays the Great move 7.Qf3, followed by another inaccuracy 7. Ke8. Then white makes a major mistake with 8. Nc3 losing all of their advantage. Then after I play 8. Nf4, He plays another mistake with 9. Nd5. I take his Knight which is a miss according to the computer. The Bishop takes the Knight on d5. I block a threatened checkmate with 10. Qf6. Then the Bishop took the other Knight and I captured the Bishop with my Queen. White then played Qh5+ and I block with my G pawn. White captured my e5 pawn and I blocked the check with my light-squared Bishop being protected by the Queen on c6. Then white makes another mistake by taking my rook on h8. I quickly play the best move and considered "Great" by the computer taking the pawn on g2 with the Queen, White responds with the inaccuracy 15. Rf1. I play Qe4+ forcing the king to d1. I now realize that I can force white to give up a rook and a pawn for a Bishop via 16. Bg4+. This forces 17. f3 and after the "Great" move 17. Bxf3 forces 18. Rxf3. Then the obvious move 18. Qxf3. For note Black is Winning by -5.0 after move 18. Now after the king moves to e1 I play Qh1 to win the h2 pawn which happens. The white king is now on d3 so I play Qd6+ which takes my advantage from -5.7 to -1.7. He plays Ke2 and I respond with Qe6+. He now plays a major mistake kd3 allowing me to get mate in 11, but of course this doesn't happen. Now I play a "Miss" Move 23. Qd7+. He plays Ke2, and I respond with Ke7 a massive blunder losing my 5 point advantage. Then my opponent plays Qe5+ another Miss giving a small advantage back to me, I play Qe6 blocking the check and forcing a Queen trade which happens after 26. Qxe6+ and 26. Kxe6. Now white plays d4 trying to advance I play Bg7 attacking the pawn. He plays an inaccuracy 28. c3. I follow with another inaccuracy 28. b6. I am going to just list the next fews moves out because all that happens is making our positions better. 29. Be3 29. Re8, 30. Kd3 30. Bf8, (Note: I played Bf8 to strengthen the c5 square so i could play pawn to c5), 31. c4 31. c5 (Note 31. c5 was an inaccuracy), 32. d5+ (the best move) 32. Ke5 (Note: Ke5 is a mistake which also gives up my advantage and now white is winning) 33. Re1 (This is a miss giving my advantage back to me.) 33. Kf5 (Getting out of the discovered check) 34. b3 (This is a mistake) 34. h5 (This is a miss giving the advantage back to white) 35. Rf1 (Best move) 35. Kg4 (This move is considered "Great" because of the only other move was mistake) 36. Rf4 (Best move) 36. Kg3 (Best move). 37. a4 (This move lost white the game, not only is a4 a massive blunder, now only one move wins black the game) This move is why I wrote this. My first ever brillant!! The picture of the blog! 37. Rxe3+!!. This move sacrifices the rook for the bishop, and that isn't event the best part because after the best which was played: Kxe3 (taking my rook) The King and the rook are skewered with the Great move 38. Bh6!. Allowing me to take the rook on the next turn, (Black is now up a full bishop and pawn) now the only threat that white has to win the game is their advanced d-pawn but it can be stopped with the bishop that we have by putting it on g5. Now the rest of this game was simple, I pushed my h-pawn to queen which it did, white then ran their king to the d-pawn which after the d- pawn queened I sacrificed my bishop for another "Great" move. Then I took all of whites pawns that were remaining and checkmated yasss98. Thanks for reading this and I hope that you have good day!
