Here is another Guess-The-Next-Move type game I ran on chessgames dot com but analyze over here.

The year is 1857 - Morphy vs John William Schulten. 

Some minor notes beforehand: I cannot for the life of me find a picture of John Schulten (at least not a definitive picture). Second item is the John Schulten actually has a chess move named for him, called the Schulten Defense which is:

1. e4, e5

2. Nf3, Nc6

3. Bc4, Bc5

4. b4, Bxb4

5. c3, Ba5

6. d4, exd4

7. O-O, b5

Now onto the game!

Par for this game is 25, my score was 27



The first 5 moves are a given, so we start my guessing at turn 6

6) I said d4 which was incorrect but given full credit. Actual was O - O 

7) I got this correct with a guess of d4

8) Another correct guess cxd4

9) I said d5, which was incorrect but given full credit. Actual was Nc3

10) Again I said d5 and again incorrect, but no credit this time. Actual Bb5

11) Bad move on my part, I said Qb3. Actual was Be3

12) Again I blundered, I suggested Qxf3 which was really bad. Actual move was gxf3

13) I have d5 on the brain, no points (but I didn't lose points either!). Actual move was Kh1

14) No points for my suggested move of Bg5. Actual move was Rg1

15) Full credit for my move of Nd5. The actual move f4

16) A so-so move on my part, Nd5 (only 2 points). Paul's actual move was f5

17) Another bad move on my part, Bxf4. Actual Qf3

18) This I got correct: Bxf5

19) Again I got this correct: Bxe5

20) Another so-so move of h3 (2 points). Actual was Rg2

21) This I got correct: Qxc3

22) I got full credit for the move Qxg7. But the actual move was Rc1


John Schulten surrendered at this point


Enjoy!

 

Welcome to my quiet corner of Chess.com!

I have loved this game as a child but never had anyone who wanted to play. Playing against a computer is handy but it doesn't compare to the adrenaline rush of playing against another person.

I finally bit the bullet and joined this website to learn tactics (I need lots of help with) and to play against people.

The best way to describe my current style of game play is: "Wow, did I just get lucky!"

I am somewhere between a beginner and intermediate, and I am always interested in a new game. Please feel free to send a game request.

My ultimate goal is to get good enough to lose at competitions happy.png
