We need more amateurs to post their annotated games.

Your opponent didn't take advantage of your move 2 e5 by playing c5. The game went to a French Advance Var. and then he exch cxd4 before getting some development with Nc6 and then Qb6 or Bd7, which would have made you develop a few pieces to squares you might not have wanted to. The exch opens up c3 for the Knight. You don't use this, and he doesn't take advantage of Be3 with Qb6, a typical French move here. Then he plays an early f6 before he's really ready.  Anyhow, after a massive trade off, you drop the Knight by moving it to e6 instead of your preferred b5. But, even being a Bishop up, he dithered around allowing both the pawn push and the King advance. The side with an extra minor piece should not play reactively, because you can't mate with a Kt or B. It can only help you advance a pawn or kill/immobilize your opponent's pawns.

You won, because you didn't give up when you lost a piece; and your opponent lost, because he doesn't seem to know anything other than the Center Counter Defense, which I have always called "the lazy chessplayer's opening of choice" for good reason. The CC player often doesn't want to study all sorts of opening theory or move orders and just wants to shuffle pieces around. Take them out of their element and they go under.

that was interesting, thanks all for the insight

This one is thechnically over, due to the fact that I have a forced mate.

Looks like a 18th Century game! Mainly because Black didn't seem to know any opening book on how to deal with the Bishop's Gambit (the c6/d5 push) and wasted quite a few opening tempi reshifting his Bishop to different tasks...odd. Good balls-out charge at the end, burning bridges to attack at all costs.

Lesson: Black needs to finish his development before beginning counterattack.

here's my game at live chess today :)

can anyone analyze my game at post 662 ? 

another game to be posted

#662 instead of 10. 0-0, d5 maybe would have kept the light square bishop out of White's hair. Other than that, it seems that the computer setting may have been bit too random.

umm, that's not the computer I'm afraid, in game 2 and 1, that's NM ChessNetwork ;) (hence the CN acronym)

Thanks for going through my game :)

19. He moved there to avoid Nd3 check, forking his King and Rook, as I stated in the previous move.

Eric_Catona, 61. Rf7??, Ne5+!, 0-1.

Oh, I didnt see that! Thanks for pointing it out :)

A blitz game I played today. My elo should be around 1500-1600.. Not sure. Feel free to send your comments on the mistakes I made.

That was exciting

Worst sacrifice ever.

I analysed your game, because I felt you had a winning position after Qg2

a game I played a few days back, finally got my 1st Expert scalp !
