losing games that are nearly impossible to lose

yup

once i came across some guy who thought this was scholars mate and scholars mate was fools mate then he goes round saying he has a 120 bcf rating when he hasn't played a single rated game 

anyone wondering his names dodle and somehow he has a rating in the 1300s  though i always find him complaining about the tube

his account name is dodle not his real name

Lol!

I actually do have a brother though .

in reply to acivilized gentleman maybe one or two people have problems with them but the majority shouldn't they are just puzzles for fun

I suppose all of you had problems with my puzzle ;)

AcivilizedRussian, try to solve it :)

well it is 290 moves long 

do any of you know about fried liver attack quite a common attack

i have tried it and it works on quite a lot of people, if you are black you should play h6 instead of nf6 as that is the signal that this can happen successfully

plus you can castle afterwards and have checkmate threats

however this usually wouldn't work with anyone over 1600

there are many chess tricks for example you can shock opponents who do not know about en passant by the way do you lot know what it is

Fried-Liver is veeery nasty. Look at this game!

You will probably not understand some moves, even I hardly! :)

I played B!

this is called the grob blacks equal to fools mate

here are some strategies that are pretty funny

The "Oh my goodness" strategy 
The classic "Oh my goodness" ploy has been around forever. You can of course substitute your own expletive but be careful around children. The idea is that you play a move which appears terrible, e.g. leaving your queen where it can be captured. Then you utter something along the lines of "Oh drat". The idea is that your opponent will think that you have made a mistake and quickly take the piece. He will realise too late that taking the queen was a terrible mistake and that you now have a forced win. The "Oh my God Attack", (that's its real name, sorry), runs as follows. 1. e4 e5, 2. Nf3 Nc6, 3. Bc4 Nd4. Then you say "Oh my goodness" or something similar. Your opponent plays 4. Nxe5 and then you calmly play 4. ... Qg5, and await his resignation. (On account of 5. Nxf7 Qxg2, 6. Rf1 Qxe4, 7. Be2 Nf3#).

• The bluff 
  If you play a really bad move it is usually a good idea to disguise it and not react when you see what is wrong with it. However, some people prefer to smile to themselves and even mutter "Aha, I've got you now". The idea is that the opponent will think that there is some reason why he should not exploit the mistake in the way he intended to and will play some other move. In a desperate position you might even play an inferior continuation and accompany it with "well, that was a narrow escape".
• The "it's so easy I don't even have to think about it" strategy 
  This is when you are in the middle of an attack against your opponent or he has sacrificed material in return for an attack against you. The strategy involves memorising the position and then standing up and walking away from the board to go and look out of the window. The idea is to make your opponent think that you are so sure of what will happen next that you no longer need to analyse. This is bound to worry him. The trick is to continue to think about the position while you are away from the board so that you don't lose any time. Be sure to look round every so often with a smug look on your face both to check that your opponent hasn't moved yet and to encourage the grain of doubt you have planted in his mind to flourish and grow.
• The other "it's so easy I don't even have to think about it" strategy 
  This is extremely risky but is sometimes worth a go against stronger opponents if you know that they have a tendency to get themselves into time trouble. Just play your moves very quickly. Choose moderately tactical continuations that you feel comfortable with. Try to steer the game into positions which are sufficiently complex to give your opponent something to think about, but not too complicated that you are likely to make serious mistakes playing quickly. Naturally, you still need to invest time 'blunder-checking' your moves before you play them.
• The distraction 
  This is highly immoral/unethical but is often effective. Bring something to the board with you that will distract your opponent. A flask of some hot drink or a packet of crisps are the usual choices but sometimes people bring mascots or CD players. Silly hats are my favourite. If you are female then you don't need to bring anything, just select appropriate attire.
• The intimidation strategy 
  The most effective form of intimidation involves talking loudly with a friend (before your games starts) about some Grandmaster game you saw the other week. Tell you friend, (loudly enough that your opponent can hear), that you have spent weeks studying it and that you and your personal trainer have come up with a novelty which you think wins by force. Make sure that you don't mention the opening or the name of either of the Grandmasters who played the game. Tell your friend that you tried the move on Fritz and won quickly. You might want to expand on this idea by having your friend say something like "well, the last time you sprung a novelty like that you crushed your opponent in less than half an hour".
• The offbeat opening strategy 
  As the name suggests, the idea here is to play a dodgy opening with the sole intention of gaining a psychological advantage over your opponent. The best offbeat openings for White are the Nimzo-Larsen attack which begins 1. b3, and the St George opening, which begins 1. b4. The latter is particularly popular with certain groups of juniors. A sample line runs 1. b4 e5, 2. a3 d5, 3. Bb2 Bd6, (of course not 3. ... Nc6? 4. b5 winning Black's e-pawn) 4. e3 Nf6, 5. c4 when the position is probably equal. However, White may have obtained a psychological edge in that his opponent may have the feeling that what White has done cannot be correct and that there must be some way of refuting the opening outright. There is not and so the player with the black pieces may become frustrated and overpress and will probably be behind on the clock. Equally, Black can select an offbeat opening strategy. The reversed St George (Polish Defence) - 1. d4 b5, or 1. e4 a6, 2. d4 b5 - is rather more risky a tempo down and 1. ... b6 has a somewhat dubious reputation (except as a reply to 1. c4) so Black's best 'offbeat' openings might be the Scandinavian (a.k.a. the Centre-Counter) - 1. e4 d5, 2. ed Qxd5, 3. Nc3 Qa5, - and the Budapest Gambit - 1. d4 Nf6, 2. c4 e5, 3. de Ng4, both of which are playable and may tempt white to overpress and again, use up too much time on the clock.

these are some tricks to confuse your opponent

Nahh, this one doesn't work, I tried it 1000× ;)

Ok, just sometimes...

yeah it doesn't work as well as it could but when your opponent is not too sure about a move they go crazy and make mistakes if you try this
