I don't really know how much this game can help other people,but at certain moments,the stupidity of black and white is so incredible and the game becomes ridiculously funny.Enjoy
OMG! Your endgame was hilarious, mostly because of the beautiful queen sac at the end for stalemate, and I love that it was all forced too!
I know that I should annotate the whole game, but I've lost the notation, so I'll go to the most important position in the game.
Very nice draw #546
Thank you :)
Here's mine!
This shows a perfectly executed pawn storm and use of an open h-file against the king. My favorite game I've played yet!
Please can Some one help tell me what went right in this game
J, very rarely does the King Knight play to e7 as the only purpose he can serve there is to bolster a f5 pawn break, which you played in the text. In most KID lines, that Knight will go to e8 with 2 considerations: 1. defense of the g7 Bishop, where if the Queenside pawns become locked is more valuable (the Knight) than the Bishop. 2. To eventually go to c7 where he hits for a6, b5 and possibly b4 if developed to the a6 square. Usually, Like the e8 Knight to be on g7 later and the Queen Knight on f6, especcially once f5 comes into play. The lines become real unclear if the King's wing is locked down in this position and Black has a destructive double sac at h5 available once the Rooks are lined up on the f-file. This is one of the lines in the Saemisch Indian that Black can employ.
That all being said, you have the ability to maneuver behind the pawns because they are locked up. An interesting alternative after 20. Qh6 is 20. ...Nf6. Now I have noticed in a lot of your games, you seem to favor the Knights but if White swaps there is 21. ... Rxf6, 22. .... Nd7 and 23. ... Raf8 and now everything is bearing down on the White King. Playing to the Queen side seems to me not to fall in line with the KID as much as perhaps towards entering the endgame but this is a matter of style to me as I am seeking to be very aggressive in this opening.
Personally, I believe you got the better of this opening in the fact that White had no way to capitalize on the Kh8 move. Ne7 is an interesting line but very dangerous if handled wrong.
Curious to me though is at what time control are you playing? Your rating belies your actual playing strength and throws me off a bit. Are you playing at 15 min? I should like to see how some of your games play without the Knights on the board to see how well you adapt in using other minor piece combinations. Still, you play very well and thank you for annotating the games as well.
If I remember correctly that is from a 5 minute blitz tournoment, just decided to try it once. I will remember to look at those possibilities.
The King's Gambit is my new opening. I fully expect to lose many games at first. Here is one of my losses, with full annotation by me, my thoughts and comments.
Your comments are most welcomed. I am especially interested in what you think about my idea to play 4.e5, pushing Black's bishop away from the defense of f4. Master chess players know when to advance a center pawn one square. I don't.
Musikamole, you were doing well. Nbd2? is bad and Qd2! is better than Kf2 as you are ahead in material so trading is best for you.
Ok, the following was played recently. It was a long game. My opponent played really well in transitions, especially from the mid-game to the end-game! I played white.
Scandi, you had a much better way to deal with the situation at move 7
Hey, thanks bro! :)
One of my most tactical filled aggresive games. This may not be that good of a game but it's one of the best games i've played in my life :) I would like to thank my opponent whose name i'll keep anonymous for such a great game :)
Congrats Scandi, but you could have done EVEN better than that fabulous attack in the opening
Zman, if you did capture the pawn on move 12, perhaps it wouldve continued with: 12...Nxf6 13. Nxf6 Qxf6 with black looking better to me?
Here are a couple of games I played last night simultaneously. Game 90, OTB, rated.
I think in game 2, white have some advantage, due to the space in Q side, and its (going to be very) active knight, and good Q, correct me if I am wrong though..
At first I did not even know the method that I had played, but I had that intuition, when I found it, I feel really great and that have pushed me to play even more chess ;)
the best endgame I have ever played. (My personal favourite)

In my opinion the position's pretty unclear, with the most likely result being a draw. I will try to get my bishop to g6 or f5 by advancing ...f4 at a time when my h-pawn will not be en-prise. He will try to advance his queenside pawns and take advantage of his space advantage. It could very well be that either side has an advantage, but from my point of view, it looks like a dead draw.

Very nice play. I thought most simuls were usually played by White. Were you then one of the participants in the simul or the one giving the exhibition? In either event, you played extremely well in both games. Bravo.
Thanks. I was playing the simul, though it wasn't an exhibition. It was just that there were an odd number of people at the club, and the tournament situation dictated that I play black on both boards.
