Don't see why White didn't 17.Bxc5 for the b4 knight.......
Greed is bad (not lemalls)
Sort:
I dig that mate, man.
Nice and semi-smothered.

because the bishop is protecting the c7 square so the Knight can pull of the fork. i guess
I think you should have took controll of the center quickly by playing d4 instead of d3.
Also, don't develop your knights on the edge. It is very uneffective. A knight on the rim is dim.

The person who started this forum was playing black.
both white and black made an error on 15. i think nb5 could be countered by a6 and a piece is lost.

a6 forces his knight to move, I dont want him to move his knight so that I can bait him with a fork in a few moves.

I haven't analyzed this much but I liked the look of:
18 ....Nxc2+
19 Kd2 Ngxe3 (threatening rook)
20 (rook move) a6
This leaves both your knights choking the area around his king and threatens both his knight and black bishop.
Of course, I may have missed something obvious.
A beautiful mate, after all.
It's a nice mate, but like others have said, there are a lot of sloppy moves throughout. White could have played 17. Bxc5+ and won your knight on b4 (discovered check from the rook on d1).

I would have followed with Kc6, then threatening his Knight, only a pawn is won, and he looses the chance to fork.
Actually, you're right, sorry. But still, I would have played Bxc5+ anyway, and the game would have been wide open, with your king open in the middle of the board. It's not as bad as I thought, though.

I would haev (as black) done 17Nc7
which would have most likely followed
Nc7 e3
fxe3 Nf6 (if not fxe3, then Nc2#)
Nxa8 Ne4 (Nxa8 assumed as is Nxe8 puts his Knight under threat)
*** Nc2# (Hopefully not R[abc]1 or it all failed)
You said the knight is worth more than a bishop in your annotations..
That is wrong.

I think it is more a matter of opinion really. With higher ranked players a bishois probably worth more, however a knight attack is less obvious making it more powerful against lower ranked players, who don't look into the game as deeply as higher ranked players.
Hi, this is the first game I have posted so I dunno how well it will work, but I will try.
Please post on how you think that I could have imporved this game. Anything that you think I could have done better.
