Recycling my BEST Chess Games
In my last blog, I shared with you a few of the worst of my games as a 100 ELO noob chess player. I honestly was disgusted by how badly I played in those games and I am sure most of you guys were as well. I probably left you thinking, "Man! This Noah guy is really bad at chess!"
So today, to redeem myself, I am going to be sharing with you my absolute best chess games that I have ever played, meaning games where I played at high accuracy, games where I played a brilliant move, and others. So here we go.
MY BEST ENDGAME PLAY
For some reason, I have always struggled with the endgame in chess. If I'm going to win a chess game, it has to either be in the opening or in the middlegame. I don't know why. However, this game was a rare exception that felt sooooo good to win.
I swear I felt like Jose Capablanca after winning that endgame. I don't care that Stockfish calls a few of my moves mistakes and inaccuracies. Stockfish isn't seeing this game through the eyes and brains of two 1100s. So zip it, Stockfish.
MY BEST (AND MOST INSANE) COMEBACK WIN
One thing I have learned from watching chess masters like Magnus play is that you should really never resign in chess until there is a forced mate or something. Maybe in classical chess, you should resign in a lost position because there's no way your opponent will throw with an hour or something on the clock. In rapid and blitz chess, though, you should definitely never resign. You never know what might happen when the clocks get low.
This game is a very good example of the "never resign" rule. The crazy thing is, though, my opponent and I were playing 30-minute rapid and still had 15 minutes on the clock when the insanity began near the end.
I literally ran around my house screaming in celebration after that pawn checkmate. I had my head on the table in defeat throughout most of that endgame and it really shocked me when my opponent blundered.
MY BEST MOVE EVER
This move actually came in a blitz game against myself. To prove that it's legit, I'll show you the whole game. The opening was really, really sloppy, but the brilliant move at the end makes it totally worth it, in my opinion.
Definitely my most brilliant move ever. It would have been even more disgusting if my opponent was a random person online, but it's fine.
MY BEST GAME EVER
Just like last blog, I saved the best for last. I didn't make a single mistake or blunder or even inaccuracy in this enitre game. I had been playing a bunch of daily games against my opponent in this game and for this daily game I was coming in fresh off of a really tough win in my last game against him, so I was feeling fairly confident. However, I could have never imagined that my play would be as good as it ended up being.
I just completely dominated that game. When I saw in Game Review afterward that I had played at 99% accuracy, I freaked out for fear that Chess.com would close my account for cheating (for the record, Chess.com, I was not cheating).
CONCLUSION
There you go. My games that make me look like a grandmaster, even though I am definitely not anywhere near the caliber of those guys.
Sorry if you found this blog a little bit more on the boring side since it was literally just me being OK at chess for most of the time. I just wrote this for my own sanity to make myself feel better after the absolute atrocity that was my last blog. As I think I have mentioned before, it's a lot easier for me to have Stockfish tell me I played at 99% accuracy than for me to learn from Stockfish telling me I played at 50% accuracy.
I hope you enjoyed this blog. Cya next time!
