How to beat an 1800+ in 1 minute

:-)

28...Qxb3 might have been the worst possible move.

No, I think the damage had already been done... 24...Nxh1? was the blunder, allowing the winning double check.

Instead of 24...Nxh1? I think 24...Ng3! gives black a lot to work with... that's a position for the tactics trainer IMO. Sexxy.

If he had played QD7 I would still have eaten him alive surely?

1 minute though. 

After 28...Qd7 29.Qh7# is strong. If you want to fault his losing the Queen Qa4+ was the error... but he was in deep doo-doo already.

Interesting game but why did Anthony give you his last bishop??

I love playing him, when he's hot he's very hot and skins you but when he plays like this it's great!!

12. Kd1?? (Nxd6)

My favourite move in this game is 12. Kd1.

Hilarious!

I thought it was great when I made it!

There are so many poor moves in this game that it is a perfect example of why 1 min games are worthless.

That was nice, my hat's off to you fast players.

 i dont get it

...NOT the Qxb3.

Qa4+ have been the worst possible move!

34 kb6 - when rxn was available.

Looks like a finger slip : obviously meant to play Q b3 followed by Q c3.

Player probably did not think he could reverse move before submitting it.

Very ethical.

The outrageous suggestion was made early in this thread that Qxb3+ was the worst possible move on the board. It may have been the 30th worst move on the board, as (if I counted correctly) there are 29 legal moves that permit mate in 1.

magic-yak, in answer to your question, perhaps you can learn something from this. Go to the position after blacks 11th move and see if you can find a move that is a lot better than Kd1 (without being under the severe pressure of the clock).

i agree--to some extent.  i wouldn't say worthless, but almost worthless.
