Very nice X_PLAYER.
I am going to read calmly later then I will comment.
HUGS!!
If you deflected the queen, it may have ended sooner. And [right before you played your thing that would make you GM] Bh4?
Dear X_PLAYER_J_X, regarding to your post #105, my comments:
Response to Post # 1
Ok, I blundered at the beginning of the game. But the point is the ability, cold blood, to revert the bad situation.
That is why that game is very very very very very very very interesting, plus the thing with the pawn wall.
Response to Post # 26
Yes, your analysis is also correct. I agree. Sometimes, I must to admit, I got lucky in some games.
Remember: we are not computers, then both of opponents make mistakes.

Another good analysis. YEs, I did a blunder in that game and believe me, it occurs very often !!!
Response to Post # 47
Yes, another blunder. Again, my opponent made more blunders!!!
Response to Post # 81
Your puzzle is very nice. I already noticed that, because sometimes I do some analysis post mortem at my games.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, your comments are so nice!
HERE ANOTHER GAME IN WHICH MY BLUNDER LEAD ME TO THE VICTORY!!!
That is incredible.
After the nice analysis by X_PLAYER_J_X in the post #105, I really need to avoid these kind of blunders.
Besides, the game become more interesting!!
Dear marco br444, 11...Qxh5 simply can be answered by white 12. Bd7+ and roook takes queen after that

What game?? There are a lot of games I posted in this thread.
In the first game you made 7 blunders
=========================================
Ok, thanks to show the engine's analysis. Very funny. I sent you a trophy !!
Mr marco, the game im talking about is marcobr444 vs jitendrag
Yes, you are completely right. See post #105, the user X_PLAYER_J_X found the same move.

The above diagram shows you a line which is known as the Center Game.
It is a playable line but it is not considered very good.
At move 3 you have a few different options.
In the game you chose to play this move. If you play this move you have to be aware black can attack the queen on d4. Which means if the move 3...Nc6 comes you have to be aware of this and move your queen accordingly.
I already gave you some advice in the above diagram on were to move the queen. Moving the queen back to d1 is not recommended.
This move is another move which helps try and get back the d4 pawn. The advantage is you don't have to worry about your queen getting attacked on d4. Your intention is to take the pawn back with your knight.
The position can sometimes tranpose into the Scotch Game which is actually a very very good opening.
Believe it or not if you like the Scotch Game you can play it the rest of your life even till you are a Grand Master simply because it is very respected.
It remains as one of several strong responses in the 1.e4 e5 King Pawn Games.
If you want to try the Scotch Game.
I will provide you with a link to an article I wrote which talks about it.
The normal move order is with 2.Nf3.
However, the way you played can sometimes tranpose into it.
If you do plan on playing the Scotch I would stick with the 2.Nf3 move order since it is mainline theory.
http://www.chess.com/blog/X_PLAYER_J_X/scotch-opening
The move 3.c3 is the signature move of the Danish Gambit!
The idea behind this move is to try and get rapid development.
Usually you often go down 1 pawn in material with the idea of trying to attack black viciously.
Obviously when you go down in material you need compensation in the form of an attack so that you can get material back or checkmate the enemy king.
If black manages to defend successfully than you may find yourself 1 pawn down completely lost!
This line is playable but not considered the best as far as I know.

I would like to show you something in a diagram.
After looking at the above diagram I wish to ask you 4 question's.
1. Do you think the above game will be a draw?
2. Do you think one side can win?
3. Who do you think will win the above game?
Now here is the last question the hardest question of all
4. Why will one side win?
I have asked you 4 questions and hopefully by now you have come up with 4 answers!
I want you to think to yourself your answers for a moment.
The reason I am telling you all of this is because I am trying to teach you a lesson.
A lesson few people ever teach.
A lesson a few people ever learn.
It is a lesson about caring for your pawns! Even if it is only 1 pawn!
I will give you the answers to the questions I asked.
1. Do you think the above game will be a draw? No
2. Do you think one side can win? Yes
3. Who do you think will win the game? White
4. Why will one side win? White will win because he has 1 extra pawn which will queen!
1 pawn makes all the difference in the chess world!
When I look at your games especially game 109.
I see you do not care about your pawns.
What did you say after you played 1...e5
My plan is annoy the opponent and make him feel anger.
What about your pawn?
Is your plan to make your pawn feel sad?
Sad and Unloved!
What was you going to do if your opponent played 2.dxe5?
Would you play Nc6? White could follow up with Nf3 defending the pawn.
Would you try Qe7? White could play Qd5 defending the pawn.
White loves his pawns and he will not let you take them so easy.
The last thing I will leave you with is a Quote.
A Quote by a Chess Legend:
"Pawns are the soul of chess"

Another good analysis from you X_PLAYER.
Very nice! I sent you a new trophy!
HUGS!
AMAZING AND INTERESTING GAME!!!
The game below is EXTREMELY interesting, but only in the beginning.
Enjoy the moves from 1 to 9 !!!
Again, the theme is: how to trap a beautiful lady (the opponents queen) then take her for a ride.
DISCLAIMER: chess is a dangerous game and it may become a serious addiction.
Please read the thread in the link below to be aware of the danger:
http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/maybe-you-do-not-realize-that-chess-is-your-mental-trauma
Another very interesting chess game. No draw, no old and boring openings, like Giuoco Piano, 4 Knights, Caro-Kahn.
A real chess game with a lot of emotions.
THE THEME IS: MAKING YOUR OPPONENT BLUNDER.
We are not computers. Then, sometimes the situation makes our brain go nuts.
That is what happened in this game with my opponent at the move 13.
Enjoy and, yes, I accept the claps.

Black is winning by a pawn. You are theoritically lost.
Response to Post # 26
The move 2...h6 does not address the issue of the d5 pawn.
The move 2.c4 by white is hitting the d5 pawn.
As black you want to address this issue some kind of a way.
You have 3 ways of addressing the issue.
1- You can defend the d5 pawn with another pawn
If you wish to defend the d5 pawn you can play moves such as:
2...c6 which is called the Slav Defence.
or
2...e6 which is Queen's Gambit Declined.
2- You can release the pressure from the d5 pawn
If you wish release the tension on the d5 pawn you can play moves such as:
2...cxd5 which is Queen's Gambit Accepted.
3- You can ignore the d5 pawn and try to set up a counter attack on the d4 pawn.
If you wish to ignore the d5 pawn and try and focus on whites d4 pawn you can play moves such as:
2...Nc6 which is called the Chigorin Defence.
or
2...e5 which is called the Albin Counter Gambit.
Long story short you played none of these moves and your move 2...h6 had no function.
White could of proceeded with the move 3.cxd5 as demonstrated in the below diagram.
I believe white stands slightly better in this position.
Response to Post # 35
I wrote an article talking about why the move 2.Bc4 is not a very good move by white.
The move 2...e6 is a nice move by you.
http://www.chess.com/blog/X_PLAYER_J_X/sicilian-defence
If they play 3.d4 like the guy did in the game take the d4 pawn with your C pawn.
Black position should be reasonable.
Allowing white the d5 push is not recommended.
Response to Post # 38
The move 2.c4 in the above position is a very commital pawn move which was made by your opponent.
In the above diagram I have showed other move 2 options which have been played in such a position.
The move 2.c4 is not a mistake if white follows up correctly.
However, I do not believe your opponent did.
Nevertheless by playing 2.c4 in the above position white has gifted black the d4 square.
You could of developed pieces and came up with long term plan of controlling such square.
In your game you proceeded with 2...e5
After white has decided to gift you the d4 square you proceed to give him the gift of the d5 square.
I simply believe you had better alternative moves to play than 2...e5.
If we skip ahead a few moves you do make a blunder.
White is winning by a pawn.
Response to Post # 47
After your opponent plays the dubious move 2.Bc4.
You play the strange move 2...e5
I believe you should go back to the move 2...e6
or
Read my article again.
http://www.chess.com/blog/X_PLAYER_J_X/sicilian-defence
In the below diagram you made the following comment in your notations.
First blunder: I forget about my pawn. Ok, it is only one pawn in the beggining
You saw the above blunder which drops the pawn and said so in your diagram.
The reason I am bringing this up is because while you did catch the first blunder.
You missed your second blunder!
The move 2...e6 blunts the bishop.
In the above example the white knight does not have to retreat because the bishop is defending it and both hit the f7 square.
You are losing 2 pawns + exchange.
White has an decisive advantage.
Black will lose.
Response to Post # 81
I believe I have covered already how the move c4 + e4 are commit pawn moves which should be taken with serious caution.
With the above statement in mind I will start looking at the game at move 5.
The move c4 + e4 commital moves which you may want to avoid making.
However,in the above game you made them.
Your opponent on the other hand made the moves c5 + e5.
When you look at the above position what do you see?
What you should see is the following:
White has 1 knight on c3
Black has 1 knight on c6
White has 2 pawns on c4 + e4 which weakens d4
Black has 2 pawns on c5 + e5 which weakens d5
White has 1 knight on f3
Black has 1 pawn on f6
In this position at move 5 in your mind you should be thinking to yourself. "I have a slight advantage."
WHY???
Well the reason why is simple.
Your position is a mirror position with only 1 difference!
You have knight on f3 which is its best possible square and your opponent has a pawn on f6 stopping his knight from going to the best possible square!
WHY IS KNOWING THE ABOVE STATEMENT I SAID IMPORTANT?
It is important because when you are winning you do not need to play crazy wild moves to try and complicate the position!
Which means by default!! The move you played 6.h4 is a terrible move!
Lets keep going.
Move 7.g4 drops a pawn instantly!
Black is winning by a pawn.
You are theoritically losing now but the game is not over yet!
In the game your oppoent didn't take the free pawn you gave him.
He played another move.
If we fast forward a few strange pawn moves.
We end up in the following position were your opponent decided to take the g4 pawn with his queen and not his bishop.
We are at move 12 now in the below position.
In the above position white has a killer tactical blow which would make black resign instantly.
Do you see it?
I will put it in a puzzle.
Hopefully you can solve the above puzzle.
In the game you played the move 12.Nxe5
You than said the following text:
My pseudo threat against a pseudo threat. This is a competition: WHO IS THE BIGGEST PATZER???
The move 12.Nxe5 is instantly losing.
I will show you how:
Black has 2 major pieces + 4 minor pieces + 7 pawns.
White has 2 major pieces + 3 minor pieces + 6 pawns.
Black is ahead by 1 minor pieces + 1 pawn
Black has an decisive advantage.
White will lose.
I hope the analysis I have given you from the above games can help you.
Have a wonderful day!
