My Worst Game on Chess.com
Sort:
the submit button would make it hard to make such quick moves...my question is, what motivation would i really have playing against you to make such quick moves? If I just waited 10 seconds longer, it would give me an advantage...
i like the first one better it was really a hard fight,boy you really fought it out till the last drop of blood.
It would have stunk for the other guy to have only gotten stalemate after those blunders! But, at least you survived for a while.

Good thing it was Blitz, and you guys are such good sports.

Those are some really horrible moves. Saying, "I was playing 2-4 seconds per move," doesn't make your chess game any better. I used to excuse myself using the same logic. "I lost because I was moving quickly and he was moving slowly." Well, if you say that and then don't take away the lesson that time is solid gold in chess, then you haven't learned anything.
Don't criticize people about how they like to play chess. You might as well condemn Lenny Bongcloud... which is utter blasphemy. Anyways, I admit I was at fault there, but I didn't 'specfically' say that 'I lost because I was moving quickly and he was moving slowly.' No... that's not it. I lost because of my unfamiliarity with unorthodoxed openings. That being said, I wouldn't move any slower even if you told me to... unless I felt like it. Therefore, the only thing that's driving my games are sheer reflexes/instincts while thinking on my opponent's turns. And that's how I play and like to play, forever and always.
PS. This is entitled 'my worst game'... isn't it implied that I didn't usually play as good as I normally do? Check my other games for proof. They too moved at 2-10 seconds a turn.

Why the f*ck would you criticize someone who intentionally posted their 'WORST' game for a game analysis. GTFO Chess.com you pompous bast*rd.
Ahahah... As you can see, I'm very impulsive and don't take negative comments too well. Good or bad comments, just keep in mind that I <3 you all for sharing your opinions. You can expect to hear my defense to any negatives you might throw at me, but hey... it IS my worst game right?

Oh man!! That's really interesting! Thank you for sharing. I think I'm gonna try that on one of my friends ^_^

That's a thoughtful suggestion, but I did change it to touch move for a reason. I simply hated the button because I would forget to press it each time. And then I'd get angry at myself for not having pressed it and wasting time. I'm fully aware of the consequences of this decision, and I still stand by it. Thank you, though.

Well, I'm not stopping you from waiting 10 seconds later. You can just be sure that I'll be moving 2-10 seconds afterwards. In fact, sometimes it's better for me if you did, since I think on my opponent's turns. If he moves after 2-10 seconds, then I'll still move right away, with less thought behind my moves. But if say he took half a minute or longer... that means that I've been able to go as far as to read 3 or 4 moves into it. Any longer than a minute and I've already looked as far as 6 moves in. If by some chance, you make a move that I did not foresee at all, then it's definitely to your advantage, and I'll try and respond to it as best I can on the spot. I find it most enjoyable when I play chess this way... because it forces/challenges me to think faster every game. I already know enough chess to be formidable in a tournament environment, and will probably pace myself better. But games like these don't require the sense of seriousness that tournaments and high-rated games do. On the bright side, losing to my friend allowed him to cherish his win well, which probably gave him some much-needed confidence to continue facing me.

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind. And thanks ^_^.

I'm not really sure what you meant by 'first one' but thanks for the compliment. ^_^

Correction, worst game on Chess.com so far (just kidding).
I'm not sure I understand the blitz thing either, but I can say for sure that there are players out there who use unorthodox openings to try and unbalance their opponents and get them to think they're playing a weaker player and hopefully play sloppy. I'm not sure if that's the case here, but it was obvious that you were treading in unfamiliar waters here, which probably led to the blunders. It may convince you to take a second look at a position before snapping off a move, but don't take it too harshly. In an OTB game, I got absolutely creamed by a guy who played the Crab (1.a4 e5 2.h4). In my mind I thought I was playing some poor rube... 30 moves later, my opinion changed somewhat.
Great annotation, by the way. I occasionally like to see someone who doesn't take their games too seriously.
Thank you. To be honest, it surprised me when I found out how many people actually enjoyed reading my annotations. I thought I did a poor job at it... lol. And yeah, I did 'tread on unfamiliar waters'. He never once used the spike on me before, so I was really confused. I'm typically strong and prominent against the standard openings that either try to fight for center, or king's indian D.
