Sharing some of my games with mad hope chess skills from me or from my opponent. I'll try to also include utter losses where I still try hard. HOPEfully you'll enjoy!

 

 

Very first game of this thread, my second correspondance (2 days) game here. I played very aggressively, and succesfully sat up many traps, while defusing those of my opponent.

Here goes another correspondence game, that I was lucky enough to win playing the halloween's gambit, clearly not seeking a logical victory. That game is really dense and the finish really beautifull.

A funny 10+0 game I played on lichess, where I did hoped in a completely desperate position, and won :

 

 

No analysis needed here, my plans were pretty straight forward here, and those of my opponent likely inexistant, so it would all boils down to "blunders, blunders, blunders", which you can easily do it yourself as they were pretty obvious ones.

A correspondence game wher I blundered the win away by a very simple, stupid overight. I could have play solid and hope to hold, but I hoped to make counter play by making a passer, but all it did was open the position and downtrade everything. Hoping can't work every time!

A 15+10 game I salvaged after some very stupid blunders and some dubious moves. I kept playing for tricks, and my opponent finally made a stupid blunder, then a less obvious one.
