My Most Brilliant Game(Thus far)

Enjoy!

If you want to show off, the game showcase forum is over there. Anyways, the Pirc Defence isn't as bad as you say it is; it's been used by Botvinnik, Smyslov, and Spassky with some success, and - more recently - by Anand and Ivanchuk.

6... Nbd7 - The variation you give for 6... c6 is somewhat incorrect. After 7. 0-0-0, black can play b5 followed by a5 with a pawn storm on the queenside to follow.

13. Qg4! - Doesn't deserve an exclamation mark because it drops a pawn due to Bxe5.

14. Rxh5! - Doesn't really deserve an exclamation mark. At best, I'd say that Rxh5 is worthy of maybe a !?, because you do get a decent amount of compensation for the sacrificed rook. With a proper defence, black should be okay.

16... Nd5 - A blunder. Allows white to capture on d5 later on and add more pressure on the kingside.

17. Rh1 - Here, you missed another sacrifice due to black's blunder on the previous move - one that's a bit more sound/concrete than your previous sacrifice. You could have played Rxd5 exd5 Nxd5 with lots of tactical opportunities (Ng4, Nf6+, etc.).

20... Rf7 - Proper defence would be 20... Rd8, and if Nh4 then f5. Example line would go as follows: Bxf5 Bxf5 Nxf5 Qxe5 Qh7+ Kf7 Qh5+ Ke6 and black barely escapes.

tl;dr blunders, missed opportunities, overall decent tactical vision

It doesn't actually make a difference for the combination because the queen guards the e8 square so that even if the rook has played over one white can still unleash the following beautiful combination.

I did a little extra and I mapped out every single possible line I could think of where black might deviate after Qg6 but they all end in checkmate. Please note that I did not use computer assistance yet so maybe you want to resort to that. Who knows, it might defend the position. But I can't think of anything that will defend this position for white because the combination is too perfect. Face it, there's no way out.

Your main line in the first diagram isn't accurate.

14... f5 - The fork doesn't work because of Qh3 threatening mate. Best is Bg7, and if Qh3 then h6 defends the h file. In the resulting position, you can't blast the h file open with g3-g4-g5 because black can respond to gxh6 with Be5, followed by Kh7 or Kh8; the pawn serves as a shield.

15... Rf7 - Also inaccurate. Best is h5, because after Bxe6+ Kh8 Bxd7 fxe4 Qe6 Qf6, white has nothing left in the attack.

16. Rxd7 - A blunder, because black can play Qxd7 and if Ng5 then Re7. Your alternate move 16. Ng5 fails to Qxg5.

18... Qxd7 - Even at the end of your main line, I still say that black stands better, because the h pawn is adequately defended (Ng5 can be met with h5), and the white queen is functioning as a rook only - and a poor one, at that; it only functions on the vertical h file, not on any diagonals or ranks.

In algebraic notation, an exclamation mark or a double exclamation mark would mean that a move played results in a significant, concrete advantage. You do not get any direct, concrete advantage out of either Qg4 or Rxh5. Rxh5 merits ?!, indicating a dubious move that may turn out to be bad.

A concrete plan after Rxh5 gxh5 Qxh5 would be Qe8, unpinning the bishop, followed by f5 threatening to exchange queens. Wherever the white queen retreats to (because you won't want to exchange queens if you want to keep "attacking" the king), black will play Qg6 and all entry points into the kingside are defended. If white - gasp - plays Qg5 in response to f5 and abandons his foolproof plan of attacking down the h file, then c7-c5-c4 shuts down the light squared bishop.

If white does not capture on h5, then he has an equal game that will be contested by black's possession of the bishop pair against white's pawn on e5 in addition to potential play down the h file. It's nothing to write home about for white, but it's better than losing material after black accurately defends the rook sacrifice.

16... Nd5 is indeed a blunder. After following through with my variation after the rook sacrifice, if Qe6 is played, then Nf6+ is annoying (results in loss of the queen). Best alternatives are either Rfd8, getting the rook onto an open file and making some room for the king, or Bc6, redeploying the bishop.

I won't bother doing the puzzle because you've mixed up the e8 square with the d8 square. Yes, it makes a rather big difference. It would be best for you to learn to take constructive criticism. If you react this badly on a forum about a board game, I'd hate to imagine how you'd react in real life.

EDIT: I decided to do the diagram after all and laughed out loud. 21. Qg6 is met with Kf8, getting out of the pin, followed by Qf7 threatening to exchange queens. The best option after 22. Ng5 is Qxg5 Qxg5 fxe4, where white still stands better but black doesn't get mated right away. After 25. Bxf5, best would be Qf7 threatening to exchange queens. If white declines the queen exchange with, for example, Qg5, then Bxf5 Qxf5 Rxe5 Qxe5 Bxf6 and black is okay.

You cannot - CANNOT - play chess expecting your opponent to not find the best move. While this may work at Class C ratings or lower, once you start facing higher-rated opponents, they will trounce you if you give them the slightest opportunity. I'll be frank: the only reason why you won was because your opponent blundered. Many times. I'm not trying to bring you down, I'm not trying to insult your chess ability, I'm just being honest with you. Had black played accurately, you would have lost.

Here's a computer analysis:

I know it doesn't give exclamation marks but pretty much every move that does have an exclamation mark in your analysis gets a ?1 or a ? or a ??.

So much for a "beautiful" game.

Please, the computer isn't making any moves that make any sense. I'm really confused in a lot of areas why its sacrificing pieces left and right. Can you get a little more depth on that thing, my position seems to have broken it. :)

If you could, uh, reference which variations you want explanations on, that'd be real helpful. Also, please don't delete your comments when you edit them. Confuses people who look at the forum thread. In your new diagram in your second post, 21... f5 is a blunder because it allows Ng5. The only possibility where your combination exists is when black blunders.

Okay let's try this then. 

Did black lose on time?
