nice 94, still dont know what opening im using though
Looks vaguely like a Catalan but you're facing a Dutch defense so idk if that changes the opening name or not.

With the Owens I feel black was being kind of foolish in a way because your queen was hanging on move 22 but black missed that and therefore completely lost the position
It's only a sacrifice (therefore a brilliant move) if it completely improves your position and that sacrifice doesn't therefore it's a blunder
guys why my sacrifice is blunder????
Because White doesn´t have to take the Q when he has d5xc6+ with mate in 6:

no, he was under check by my bishop, so I had a tempo to ignore the threat. no way stalefish would give any game with a hanging piece a 94. if you meant move 23, NOPE there too as black's queen jumped into an x-ray machine and was pinned. too many threats, and no defenders
22...Ke8?? 23.Qg6+ Kf8 24.Qf7#
the position was totally losing
I DID miss the mate in 5, but I don't calculate that deep, and then I missed the mate in 4, but mate was inevitable unless I blundered. my thinking is just to keep overloading the position by throwing everything at it until I find the finish. It's not the most accurate endgame, but I did increase my odds with re-enforcements. I see now that sacking the bishop and playing 16.Rh7+!! wins after 17.Qh5 whether it's a mate on g6 or both pieces advance on the file with no time for black to defend or retreat
18...f5?? was the blunder that sealed his fate that game. 12...c4?? is what turned the tables. my opponent beat me in 23 in a zukertort though. ironically he won at 84% accuracy against my 89%.
I really WANTED to share a gambit win, but couldn't get over 89% in any game I looked at
no it is mate bc if he back i can take and mate
No, ik it's mate but like it would only count as a sacrifice and therefore a brilliant move is it led to a mate straightaway or if it improves the position of the person who sacrificed. In this case, it does neither
Not actually mine.
It's Rybka with Nalimov tablebase access playing itself from a setup position with perfect accuracy.
As White it scrapes 90+ and almost makes it as Black.

If White takes the Q Black has a forced mate in 3 (Post #156)
He doesn´t have to take it though, he has a forced mate in 6 himself against Black (Post #153)
I don't know if I would recommend 3d pieces, no offence
