Example of how not to open!
Sort:
This is not my best game. I just wanted to show this game as an example of why traditional openings work. Please give thoughts and opinions on this. Thanks.
lol, i think this person is a 5 year old kid
Actually, the person is 53! This game is not meant to pick on them. Just as a learning tool for everyone about what not to do. I do not claim to be an expert and never will be. I just thought that this should be shown.
Of course this works as an example of how not to play the opening, but I think there are more instructive examples -- i.e., one side plays at least somewhat reasonably.
I would of played d5 instead of Nf6

Actually I think this is a fine example. "Get the Rooks out early" is a quite common plan for beginners..
Yes, 10. e4 is probably winning for White.
Rooks are always powerful in the endgame. Even if they get to an open file early like Black using the open c-file in typical Caro-Kann games, the rooks tend to get traded off anyway. So I've tried to use more lateral movement with my rooks early. It doesn't tend to work out too well. It's the equivalent of using your king as a fighting piece in the opening. ;)
I admire White for his experimental play though. I've seen worse. I've played MUCH worse.
Go easy on the guy. It was his first game here on Chess.com (judging by the 1200 rating). He'll learn.
Just for the record . . . some games probably should not be annotated.

Annotations are put in for the purpose of giving ones thoughts during a game whether they are right or wrong. Everyone thinks of the game differently and all thoughts and opinions should be respected.

As i stated in post #4 of this thread, no one is picking on this person. Please look beyond the rating to see why this opening by white is not ideal!
