Few days without the "Can" until just now... 🥴🚽
The usual suspect is the foreverly "knight-g8"♞

After 11...e5 things don't look so rosy for white.

12.Qf7 e6 13.Qxb7 Qb4+ seems more or less forced, but after the queen swap material is equal and Black has great central control.

Master @pfren thank you for analyzing this game.

I just did a engine analysis and rather than g5 on move 11 white can play Bg5, and there if black plays e5?? Bye Bye black queen.

I played another chimp right now at blitz... And once more I suffered diarrhea once more and ... this champ ate it all up. 
How can a human lose such a game is beyond me...

Caro-Kann is the most perfect opening for black against white for beginners. It immediately fights for center control. And after all is said and done it's the easiest opening to learn. I would use this opening and stick with it for the rest of my chess career!

There are many other issues, however skills is not a part of that problem. At least 95% of times this games I play are lost for "Can" players. Once in while my cognitive abilities plays tricks on me, that and time issues.

I'm curious why, in move 56, you promoted to Rook instead of Queen. You simply don't do things at random so there is a good reason. But why not Queen when, in this setup, Queen would give double-hit capability to b file just as well. Loved the game!! Thank you so much!

My friend the underpromotions sometimes comes out of sheer frustrations that the opponent is not resigning. The opponent was down materially and he had no time on the clock. Besides the opponent was going to chop off the promotion any way, and the rook would be just as lethal in case he did not take it out. Ra8# is check mate.

Much obliged. happy

Another "Can" game on the board

It is staggering how frequent the "Can" can happen.
I have just played 2 rated rapid games in a row where the "Bayonet" showed what it "Can" ! Unbelievable right? You better believe it!

@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?' I've done THAT before too. I can only get 5 moves into CK before I begin to get twisted. Very nice game!!
