Game I played drunk last night.

So I went out with my wife to a nice dinner at the Japanese restaurant and proceeded to drink 3 large saki when I got home I started to smoke a fat blunt. I was drunk out of my skull when my buddy said hey I bet you can't play chess drunk. challenge accepted. I vaguely recall playing and then passed out right after I finished the game. I wake up to see a message from my buddy showing me the pgn. unfortunately I'm not on my laptop so I can't embed the game with a board at the moment. I'm posting it here anyway with the hope that someone will embed the game for everyone, and that I can get some to analyze and comment on the game. also if you have any drunk games please feel free to show them here.

hada couple mins at the laptop on break. back to work i go. analysis and feedback welcomed

Good for you. Actually, quickly cleanly finished off my OTB opponent while drunk at a tournament. Before the round they were buying me drinks thinking I would lose badly. Half hour into the match I got up and walked to my friends table he looked up at me, I gave him the thumbs up and he just shook his head.

I have a few points of disagreement with RalphHayward, above.

There's nothing wrong with the move 2. ... e5. After 3. dxe5 dxe5 4. Qxd8+ Kxd8 White has basically nothing. With the Queens exchanged off, mate is not a threat. The Black King can find a safe home on the c7 square (after a later Pawn to c6), where he will be well placed for the endgame.

White's 5. dxe5 was an excellent move, but he should have followed it up with 6. Qd5.

2...e5 is totally fine . Actually Black gets an improved position compared to the main move order 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5 if White swaps Queens, because the f6 square isn't optimal for the knight in this structure.

For 6.0-0? look at post #6.

pfren didn't say "Blue Emu is wrong as usual..."!

High praise indeed.

I'd take the 3. dxe5 queenless middlegame any day...but I guess that just tells everyone why I'm merely a 1900 whilst blueemu and pfren are 2300s. I think I hear the "QI Klaxon" sounding here and should get my head down and study the position type in question.

pfren is a REAL 2300, though.

I'm just a chess.com 2300.

In OTB tournament play I'm hundreds of points lower.

Snatching two free pawns cannot be that bad.

Hmm, pints and chess. I know it well! Ha ha! I used to have a weekly match with a buddy of mine at the pub. We would play a game, then there was the pub quiz (which he ran), and would often have a 2nd game after the quiz. We decided to start recording the games, so I have around 40 of them. There's a couple where something went wrong during notation for some unknown reason and I can't work them out. Ha ha! I will have a look and see if I can post an example or two.

I think this has done it. Should be 2 games, one win each. If you click on the players at the bottom it switches between the two games.

Ok, here's another win for him.

People, you should solve more puzzles if you don’t see moves like 6.Qd5. I would be very upset if my 1200 student would not spot it.

@borovicka75 Yes. I know. Snap tactics have always been my weakness, and advancing age hasn't helped any with that. But I am still working on it. Honest. Maybe when I hit retirement age...

I'll be turning 70 this year.

I was over 2300 until my 59th birthday. Now I'm 125 points short.

Only my FIDE blitz rating is still over 2300, I guess not for long.

Good gracious. Suddenly I feel almost young (mid-50s).

Okay. I do love a new challenge. After work I headed to an hostelry and consumed much beer. And then went home and thought to myself, "Why not?'. This is the result. I have not dared to review it yet. Maybe another day when I'm less...ahem..."tired and emotional".
