Fun little Queen sacrifice I found in a rapid game! Somehow missed the more obvious tactic a few moves before but we'll just say I wanted to keep it interesting

Hi! I wanted to share a game I played against a player who's elo is twice as high as mine, I lost, but I think I fought back well. At the end, when I hung the rook I had 6 seconds iirc ;P

The queen sacrifice is beautiful, congratulations in seeing that and winning the game

This was a game against Hoshimi, I was playing good, but missed that I could take the rook and then just give up my queen and it was fine, but what I did was better so I am not really mad about that, but missing tactics against a better player after playing good and getting a better position is annoying, but happens.

I know how you feel, I almost got a winning position against a guy twice as good as me, but missed an easy tactic and lost in the end.

I'm getting back to playing some rapid games. Just finished a game where I played like stockfish, 99% accuracy, without even knowing the opening.

0 blunders, 0 mistakes and 0 inaccuracies, average centipawn loss was 10. Unfortunately I'm going to blunder like hell in the next game.

My most tactical game

Probably this is my most painful loss, from this year, I recovered from a brilliant of my opponent because he didn't find the continuation, and I got a completely winning position, and I blundered due to time pressure, the first time I blundered I was still winning, but I was so shook and freaked out from my earlier blunder that I kept on blundering and I just lost. A principal problem I have seen with this is that I already had 1 minute on the clock on move 20, and I wasted 1 hour in the opening, when I already knew the theory, but I kept calculating things, and still playing the same moves I would have played if I had moved in 5 seconds, so lesson learnt, the next time I know an opening, I will just move don't overthink, and if I blunder in a winning position I have to keep calm, and still try to find the best moves.

I will probably post my game from round 1 and this game too in the game analysis, because the games are interesting

I wanted to show this game, because I think it shows how difficult it is to play a really passive opening. My guy decided to go for a hippo-style setup, and I countered with the infamous ''six pawns attack''. If somebody wonders, whether it's sound to push that many pawns forward, the engine thinks I'm up four pawns after I pushed the 6th one upwards. The knight sac was unsound, I took my chances on that one.

In this game, I get down a pawn in an endgame, but I thought I could get it back after getting it back I took my opponents rook and it was just a trade, but for my surprise, my opponent resigned, kind of disappointing, because I had calculated a brilliant move.

I defeated a 1650 today !

Hi, I wanted to share one of my games from the Sunday's tournament.

And, before you ask, Rg1 was a mouse slip ;U Late into the game I blundered with c5+, not noticing that the retake comes with a check.

We both played extremely well, I loved the game, despite many "inaccuracies"

Alien Gambit: Bonjour Variation??

U guys have good games but I didnt play 1 game yet on this website

Nice..?

This is an OTB classical game I played yesterday I was playing with black and my opponent was 1700 rated opponent:

My opponent just hanged piece thinking they recovered it with a tactic but they miscounted.

That is not even that strange, the strange part was when in the last move I saw my opponent looking at his scoresheet really confused, so I offered to let him borrow my scoresheet to correct the mistake he could have made, and then he literally responds: "I am looking for the move in which I lost a piece". I responded: "it was in move 10". He resigns and I offered to analyze of course because the conversation we just had, I had deduced he hadn't realized when he lost a piece. I showed him, and he explained to me that he played the entire game without realising, that he was down a piece! Of course then I understood why he had traded the pieces so casually, he thought he was pressuring me! Of course because he had "sacrificed a piece" I was less active, so of course if he had a piece he would have been clearly better.

I explain this story, to show that even good players make really huge blunders like that
