I had played, rather than 4. Nc3, eliminated the king pawn.
Exchange Sac King Hunt
Sort:
I ran the game through Fritz 6 (I know, I'm a cheapo), and it gave 13. Nxe5 as very very strong. (11 points, in fact, and in some lines, a forced mate) I wouldn't even have remotely considered the idea, as my Bishop would have been hanging...but the computer saw this (Fritz would reply 14. Nd3 to Bxb5). Actually, I would still be equal in material after Bxb5 even if Nd3 wasn't played!
Nxe5 yes indeed, I was like "surely you must take that?!" lol.
also tonydal. d6 i dont see the attack behind unless you plan a queen sack, in which i think the king CAN escape, after bishop takes rook takes etc.
I know for a fact that both my opponent and I could have played some better moves, my opponent especially (I found quite a few moves that my opponent could have made that would allow him to stop my attack completely). However, it was a 15-min. game and my opponent was lower rated than I was.
If you can find any much better moves for either my opponent or me, please comment! I only calculated a few moves ahead for each move, but I would love to be able to sharpen my attack and calculation skills. I may have also played the opnening wrong!
