@Illbtu I just don't understand black's move 19. Why did he do that? Or was that simply their way of 'falling on the sword?...

It is either "Harakiri" or another issue; there is a theory that when humans are stressed under pressure during chess games for 6-8 moves they are more likely to blunder.

Thx 4 the compliments my friend. happy

Another "Bayonet" game with atypical kind of Can-stipation.

I'm surprised at their Move #4 Bc8. Isn't the usual response Bg6 from black here? In all, you pummeled him like a boss! Shows why I've never had the guts to play you! Thanks for the great game! :-)

@OCTOPUS_d6 first of all thank you for your kindness. Much respect my friend! happy

With regards to the Bc8 move it looks a little passive, quite frankly. I have faced Bd7 on some occasions, however this is maybe the only game I remember that the opponent brings bishop back to c8.

Another Bayonet game that I played yesterday with a commanding position was this one: https://www.chess.com/game/live/167186116750

However due to fatigue, as I played this game at well past my bed time, I blundered and squandered this sweet game. Everything was going after plan and I knew in my heart that I should play Rh3 on move 17, (have learned this move from engine analysis, and it is such a good even if it looks counterintuitive) And I also deviated from one of my golden rules that says: "Not to take pieces that are already trapped ". I should have not taken that freaking rook at that moment in the game. shock
