So cleva!!! thanks a lot, lovely, not a cheap trick if it teaches you to reevaluate every position and what you are trying to achieve.

Playing strictly by some book and missing actual weaknesses seems way more pathetic to me.

Yes, I must follow this attitude so that I can reach 1124 rating.

but once the board is at the fourth to last move position, surely its the best play,  black is the fool for letting the attack happen? u big cynical chess meanies xp

I'm giving you some credit, it actually made me smile.

Far from best, Qe2 wastes tempi.

Thanks so much for the specificity in your criticism, it is worth much more than these cheap comments from the big chess meanies xD

"but once the board is at the fourth to last move position"- You mean specificity like this?

According to Speelman’s Art of Sacrifice in Chess, obvious sacrifices like this don’t even deserve an exclamation mark.

the position at the 4th to last move yes, specifici.... you know what I mean.

and it obviously wasn't obvious to the oblivious xP

It is obvious, but not good.

I'd say it's obvious you can't take the queen after Qe2 is played, but I don't think the move Qe2 itself is obvious.

Qe2 is a move that immediately comes to mind for experienced players. But they also should know it’s bad.

It didn't to me.

Qe2?? is horrible cheap trick. 

If opponent just play e6, Queen has to run away, lost two tempos ( which is approx equivalent to 2/3 pawn in opening).

 

Tricking deviate from logical play.So in long-term, there will be more disadvantage.
