I don't think that Black played moves a grandmaster would. For example, even I can see that 11... a6 is a better way to prepare the pawn storm than 11... Rb8 because it stops Nb5 while preparing b5. Also, no grandmaster would play Kh8 unless they calculated like crazy and thought it was good - and since as you said it was a bad move, they would likely continue the attack on the queenside, which is a far more natural play, even if it also would turn out to be unsound in the end. I love the game though, and the fact that it didn't look artificial until I took a deeper look at it is quite impressive, well done.


Really like your Winnie the Pooh meme pictures on your profile, btw.

Ah, and speaking of the game, this was my idea of making Lucario as a heroic mastermind for my fanfiction story, meaning if I were to make him a genius, maybe chess is the way to go that would teach him planning and preparation for the future.

I liked how the Queen Gambit Netflix series created a few custom position with the help of Garry Kasparov, and how some of the other games Beth played were based in real life games, so I wanted to test on creating a game, even though it wasn't based in any chess.com games or any master games, except with the few moves, like that Nd6 and the queenside castling.

And Benny played the black side of the Opera Game in one of his blitz games vs Beth. Now that's something a grandmaster never would do!

Oh btw, James Weasel was a character created with a inspiration of Gingergm or Simon Williams, the British grandmaster. In fact, I have planned to make James say, ''Hello there, Harry! Where should I move ya? To h4? h6?''

pretty nice game

Not a bad analysis at all. I was wondering if these two players read Wesley So's tutorial on Chess able their game was practically an exact copy of that tutorial

Never mind I see that it is fiction now I read through all the post. Very clever. Did you read Wesley So's tutorial?

No I haven't. Where's Wesley So's tutorial at?

Bruce1960s

On chessable.co. In the free section it is the newest one and in part 8 after his segment on defeating the PIRC defense called #e5 Modern.

chessable.com not .co

And to be honest, this game was based on Simon Williams playing against the Chess Ultra Grandmaster computer, except, instead of James committing suicide, because no grandmasters would do that, they would just resign if they believe they're losing, James resigned the position due to the pressure Lucario kept building and how James would just delay the inevitable. 

Although the video has a few views, Simon Williams actually praised the computer for following chess principles and for coming up with very clever ideas. In fact, I think those ideas were so genius, I figured I would include them for Lucario to make him a very aggressive player, and to make the game instructive for beginners as well.

You can see the game by clicking the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOPfOA6lVek&t=

Then click on 9:45 to see that game I talked about. Although I think the grandmaster computer played some stockfishy moves, since it is the computer, they're not 100 percent stockfish, since a lot of those moves the computer played were from real life master games.

Makes the grandmaster computer the most human playing AI in the chess game yet.

Jacobshinn

Unlike Stockfish, which would play ridiculous and unusual moves, like Na4, and a whole other moves that are not what a human grandmaster would even play or even think as logical, the chess ultra grandmaster computer is what I believe to be the most well thought out and well developed, which is why it's grandmaster-approved, since it not only plays like a human grandmaster, due to it following chess principles, but it also has some clever ideas of its own.

Stockfish, while extremely strong, can get away with violating chess principles but to a ridiculous degree, playing nonsensical moves that cannot be explained by human grandmasters at all. That's also why I loved playing Chess Ultra. happy.png

Btw, I have updated the annotation to include Rb8 as a mistake and why that is.

Cool! Yeah the opening theory seems ok, and the moves aren't terribly done.

I couldn't do better unless I had a lot of time.

Yeah, I figured this game would be instructive for beginners. Although, there will be games where I would show how Lucario can violate opening principles in a strategic manner, just like how Alekhine did.

There are also lessons I forgot to mention for this game.

1. Develop your pieces to it's most active square.

2. Get all your pieces out.

3. Be sure to castle as early as possible, preferably on the opposite side of the opponent's king.

4. Always try to figure out what your opponent's best moves are going to be and how you planned to stop those ideas.

What? No, I don't like TikTok either. Also, what does this have to do with the game?

A GM with 50% accuracy?

That's what the stockfish analysis says. However, it's important not to trust the engine all the time for analysis. I already send the game to a few grandmasters in this site for any feedback for their own analysis to see if my analysis was wrong.
