You must have been drunk, you missed capturing the queen 2 times!
17. Nc7+, is a Royal Fork. After the king moves.......take the queen!
22....Qxe6? Black Queen walked right into the range of your knight.
Madness. I play super crappy when I'm drunk. I guess alcohol and chess will never be friends...
You wouldn't have done that badly if you didn't have a pathological obsession with not taking your opponent's queen.
I don't know why beginners always seem to go for this rook pawn forward, move rook forward routine in the beginning of the game. Anyway after she did that (I'm trying to avoid using notation) you could have moved your king's pawn forward two spaces for free, since your bishop would then be attacking her rook.
After you checked with the knight on c7 (move 17) you had a choice of taking either her queen or her rook, but took neither for some reason. After that you were still miles ahead and should have won easily, the queen-losing blunder notwithstanding.
I would find some drunken blunderfests of my own to show you, but I can't remember where they are...
Lol its ufnny how black missed mate like 6 times.. and you did pretty good for a drunk except missing her/his queen a couple times
Yeah I concidered the rook thing, than forgot I think lol. Happens alot with Asperger's
lol
I sobered up the day after and had a light drink...joy, more blunders lol
I didn't know about the queen bit though, didn't really pay attention to that lol
In her defence, she is a bit of a re-curring rookie...and my win/loss record reflects the opposite of my rank, that's the last time I castle weak-side on purpose >.< (first game)
Oh btw, according to the style of play I was going on, what do you think would have been the best approach for me (casual remember, I go by feel)?
Yes, as you can see.....I don't play much and don't even have the excuse of drinking behind my missing Mate so many times.....and I was lucky to keep my Queen!! Thought he'd have it several times and have me pinned! =)

I can answer that, they just don't see the many other and more feasable options of playing in combination with pawns and making space in the backline for the rook to potentially strengthen D or CA/A
a really weird game..
Yeah, I know! lol
For me, alcohol seems to translate to something really odd or funny, this just being one example lol
I think your opponent was drinking too
she said it looked like it too, but that was unfortionately not the case lol
Maybe I will drink next game so that I can see what it does to my game....maybe it would help.....stranger things have happened! =)
Only noobs drink and play chess
if you wont to win do not drink and play chess
Speak for yourself, it is feasable that one would play JUST to have a good time and engage oneself. Besides that, you open yorself up for inprovment on different levels after you catch your obvious mistakes.
The best strategy for winning drunken chess games is to be the designated driver.
I didn't put as much thought into the game as others I guess. I was just 'playing'.....which most people play a lot of games when drinking......billards, darts, video games, dating.....the list goes on......why not chess???

Drunken darts sounds dangerous...and scary...

It does..... I know.......but I've seen it!!! It does exist and at many bars!!!
and people drink while playing golf too!! Out in the sun, driving a cart, hitting a ball with a metal stick....the more I think about it.........most sport games involve drinking......and you play chess sitting down.......which one would have to think that would be an even better (safer) game to drink while playing....
but who am I to say what people should do to entertain themself?
I got drunk and completely ruined my game....funny and dissapointing at the same time, all my pieces were backed by another, she was on the ropes...just take a look:
The funny part is that after the game my rank improved, where hers went South lol
Guess the move (please avoid/simplify text responces as I'm new to the coordinent aspect; I play casually :])
I encourage all to post their drunk bumblings as well.
