A fun mate


haha. Yeah, black did many things wrong! He didn't develop his pieces, control the center, nor did he protect his king.

Do a search for "posting games" and it'll give directions. Surprisingly, it was pretty easy to do. It was my first time doing it and it took about 1/2 hour.

I can't figure out what Black could have been thinking. So many opportunities for better moves... I'm still learning, but he/she seemed to not have any plan for the game at all...
'Yall just don't know what's up! Black was playing a time-tested opening, proven to checkmate in 27 moves against any competent opening! The OP just managed to play so astoundingly badly, that Black was surprised beyond belief, and messed up his move order. Sheer dumb luck, OP!
The above is complete and total nonsense, great game by White, awful game by Black. - Dc1985

I don't know what my opening is called, but black's is called the Polish defense, which is charaterized by black moving to b5 early. I'd be interested in finding out what white's opening is called. My intent in the opening was just to employ the fundamentals of the opening game (i.e., piece development, control the center, and protect the old man).
