In the previous Untitled Tuesday tournament opening round I was able to deliver checkmate in just 22 moves with my favourite Bloodgood Gambit.
The only chess opening named after a real life murderer.
Whilst it may not be sound against an elite Grandmaster it is certainly fun to play and win like the old coffee house games of Frank Marshall for example or pretend to yourself that you are Tal 😃
Nice win! If I’d found 26…Rxb2 with seconds left on my clock, I might have posted our game from this week. But missed chances are common in blitz.
You certainly didn’t miss your chance in this game!
I attempted to hack you with f5 but it was too crude an attempt and was dealt with effectively...
I was unhappy with my position out of the opening.
Next time I will try taking on c5 and Bd3 to reach the following approximately level position but one where my Bishops at least look a bit threating 😃
In yesterday's Untitled Tuesday tournament I was once again able to produce a nice game in the opening round.
Unfortunately it was all downhill after that but a bad tournament is worth a good game as we are amateurs and play for enjoyment.
Onto the game and as White I play the not so well known "Queens Indian Attack" looking for a quick, easy and sleazy win 😎
Classic "Caveman Chess" ensures as I leave my King in the Centre, throw my g Pawn up the board and sacrifice both my Knight and my Queen to force checkmate in 18 moves of bloody carnage.
a very subtle and positional game against @CP6033 in the 1st anniversary tournament
In which both players apply the maxim that the best defence is a good offence - and do so to the extreme. Wild game!
a very notable game from this recent UTT against thomas, got 2nd as well so proud about that
my near perfect untitled tuesday was so close during this tournament, ended 9/10 unfortunately
heres one sloppy game i played during the last round against smyslov, it was a decent game
my game from the saturday event, it was definitely worth the point or should i say laugh
He missed a chance to set up a fortress. 32...e5 and I think it's over. LOL at six bishops, though. If you can't remember the two bishop mate, just get six of them.
as they always say the more the merrier, thanks gleason always nice seeing you again
One of my favourite chess games is the encounter between Julio Kaplan and Craig Pritchett at the 1972 Skopje Chess Olympiad which features the "Queens' Indian Attack".
The game can be found here: https://www.chess.com/games/view/202400
In round six of yesterday's Untitled Tuesday tournament I was able to produce the following 16 move knockout using the above game as a "blueprint" and of course with a little help from my opponent
I hope this will inspire you to play "caveman" chess too!
