Read This Before You Post


I was accused by an other member of posting from an ongoing game. He had no proof or other information. Just saying I was posting an ongoing game.
Of course, it could have been from a ongoing corr.game. It was difficult to prove it was not, because the game was a club game I played. I can not find anything in the rules you are forbidden asking on games not played on chess.com.

Dear Anaxagoras-
I think the sun is a hot rock too!
I'm in my 60s and I have only played one good game of chess in my life. It was in 1974 when I was 17 in a simultaneous against Grandmaster Bent Larsen. I had white and I won in 29 moves with a double queen sacrifice (I sacrificed the one I had, queened a pawn and sacrificed that), forcing a king hunt win with bishops and rooks. Over the years I've played and replayed the game and I think the winning 12 move combination is sound, but I don't know for sure, because the position is unbelievably complicated. I don't use a chess program and I was wondering if any of you gentlemen could tell me if it is sound. I know that Chess.com has an analysis post, but I haven't been able to figure out how too use it. Here it is:
- e4 c5
- d4 cd
- c3 dc
- Nxc3 Nc6
- Nf3 e6
- Bc4 a6
- 0-0 Qc7
- Qe2 Bd6
- Rd1 N8e7
- a4 Ng6
- Be3 Nge5
- Nxe5 Bxe5
- g3 0-0
- Rac1 Qa5
- f4 Bxc3
- Rxc3 Ne7
- Bb3 b6
- f5 ef
- ef Qe5
- Qf3 Ra7
- f6 Bb7
- fe Bxf3
- ef=Q+ Kxf8
- Rc8+ Ke7
- Re1 Kf6
- Rc4 Kg6
- Rf4 Bd5
- Rg4+ Kh5
- Bd1 1-0
Thanks, Mike
12. .... Nxe5 would've been better than Bxe5 ( He made a mistake)
After 16. Rxc3 you could've lost the a4 pawn.( You made a mistake but he didn't see it ) What could've happened?
16. .... Qxa4 17.Ra3 Qb4 18. Bd2 would also lose the b2 pawn so queen now could flee back on the a3-f8 diagonal. Overall you played a nice game. Keep it up.

Thank you.
I see what you mean about 12...Nxe5. taking with the bishop is a mistake.
On 16 Rxc3, I intended to sacrifice the a-pawn because I guessed, (rather than calculated) that after the first pawn sacrifice, it didn't matter how much material I lost, because if I failed to force mate, the endgame was hopeless either way. You're right though, I guessed wrong.
Thanks Again.

no, Rxc3 is the right move

Here is a game I would like comments good or bad.
I like your strategy there in the opening. Nights in the king side and Bishops on the queen side is a very attacking position on opponent's king. Wait, were you white or black? No probs white's opening is what I meant.

I might just be stupid or something but I can not figure out how to write comments on my game analysis. Help would be appreciated.

Thank you. How about on phone?

Davaughe, I am more interested in chess scene in Jamaica. Are you in a position to give us a run down? Any clubs I can visit while on holiday? Any really strong players who have decided to stay on the island?
TonyGas I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Who says chess players lack humour?
And this position white can give a checkmate with a Bishop and Knight.
this is like tonygas asking for white to mate black it 3 but settle for four in this senario, rotrlmao(rolling on the floor laughing my *** off)
