White P@e5? played here. There was no need to be afraid of the sacrifice on h2 (Bxh2). Two ways are possible at this time. P@e6 with pressure on f7. Or P@f5 with interrupting the cover of the pawn e4. Pawn e4 creates pressure on square f3, on the white castle position. Here, white on board A steps back and plays Nh3?. It is a too passive. The correct was P@f6 with the idea ​​N@g7+ and Bh6 with pressure. The game continued with a few moves. Here, white plays N@d5?!, it's not a complete mistake, but e6 with pressure on f7 is faster and more direct. Here, white on board A dropped P@e6?, he still had to play e6. Bad was wasting pawn, because every pawn will be important for next attack. Here, white dropped N@d5?? on board A. He should played exf7 and after Rxf7 coming e6 with pressing to f7. For example: e6 Rf8 B@f7+ (or Rf8 N@f7 threaten to have a heavy attack on h8 or N@h6) Kh8 P@h6. After exf7 Kh8 follow P@h6 with unpleasant pressure on g7. Now black is in danger of an unpleasant attack via N@h5+.

https://www.chess.com/live#g=11688206799 in this game white(1779) played Nxg6+ responded to by black(1798) with hxg6 after rxh8+ black play Kf7??? allowing himself to be checkmated by N@g5# but white played N@d8+?? .Here both playersshow why its better to think.one speeds into m1 and th other completely ignores the win.White ended up winning anyway because partner but still.

Yesterday, the tempo of the 30s at the bughouse started playing on chess.com. A match of about 60 games was played. What is the point? What was the goal? Try to play as many games as possible in the shortest time? Here are three examples that show that this was mainly about premove and playing a lot of games. It was about who would do less pointless premove. Nothing more. Here black in board A had premove Ke7 (he waited exf7+) 2700+ lost in the 11th turn!

If black played Qg5, the white one would be practically without defense, Bh3+ with B@g2+ checkmate. After best B@g3 B@h3+ Kg1 Bxd1 is idea N@e2+ with mate. But black play Nh4+ Kg1 p@e2 Qe1 B@h6 p@g2 Qd5 B@e4, ... on second board. After R@d8+ Kxd8 Bxc7+ Kxc7 Q@e7 with B@d6 and another Queen coming from the second board is game over.
