Same thing in 2nd game 19.Be6, your comment is "my bishop is a monster"

When my first impression is "that's a lame move / lame bishop"

Ok, obviously it's a good bishop and white is winning, but why was my first reaction that it's lame? Because look at what it's "touching" ... a whole lot of empty diagonals. Booo

It prevents black from castling. I didn't want to leave my bishop on g4 or place it on h3 since if black castles he has a pretty fine game with f file pressure and if i castle queenside, he can just open the b file. All in all though it's a pretty annoying piece as well, since black can't really get it out.

Ok, it also touches squares near the king, so that's good... you can make it a good bishop by brining another piece near squares like d7 and f7... which is how you find a move like 22.f4, which is just completely crushing.

Notice the engine agrees with me about how lame the e6 square is, and thinks 22.Bg4 is also pretty good move (moving the bishop after black lost castling rights)

You give 22.Qxb7 a ? which is exactly correct. If you think in terms of what gives pieces value then I think you'll do better... which might sound weird since you're high rated and experienced... but in some sense you're inexperienced right? You're young and not playing as well OTB as you are online... makes me think you're missing something, so I'm trying to help a bit.

I did consider 22.f4. For some reason I didn't play it, I probably thought i don't get anything from it, like exf4 Rdf1 Raf8 or something like that.

I don't know about the engine agreeing about Be6 being lame, though, since for me it seemed to be a fine move. You probably used a different engine, I guess.

 

"In terms of what gives pieces value" - what do you mean by this? Do you mean why each piece is given a certain point value?

Sure, it was fine when you played it because it prevented castling, but e6 as a long term home is dubious. It might stay a little baby bishop tongue.png

Pieces come off the back rank = being born
Pieces get on long empty files or diagonal = kid about to go on a journey
Pieces using those files/diagonals to come into contact with weak pawns or squares around the enemy king (more than one piece to threaten a king of course) = grown up

That's what I mean by pieces having value. Some knights are better than other knights. Some bishops are better than other bishops, that sort of thing.

On e6 it's deep in enemy territory, but it's hitting a lot of empty squares... so black can hope to ignore it and have nothing bad happen to him.

22.Bg4 is 2nd best move on this list... so maybe e6 wasn't the greatest long term home ever wink.png

Interesting games. You somewhat have a quite unique approach to chess. Your games aren´t boring to follow. 

Nice to know that my games aren’t boring

In fact before every game I always have a mini panic attack, “should I play something normal or what”

But since playing normal openings both online and otb have not been working for me...

You give me so much inspiration to keep playing chess even though I am doing zero chess study right now, aren't you the person that liked playing 1.e4 2.Bc4 3.d4?

I like that hand grenade on the board

I’m glad to be an inspiration, I guess!? (What do I say to that)

and Yes, I used to be a really big fan of such explosive openings like the ursurov gambit. At least, back then I bothered to calculate.

I’m not really sure what the point of the bishop being on g4 is supposed to do, however. It can be good, but if I can’t figure out why I played the move, then I won’t play it.

Sure, I don't think I'd play 22.Bg4 myself.

I just think there's something worth talking about when your note is "the bishop is a monster" and my initial impression was the opposite "positionally that bishop is pretty lame" and also it mirrored the first game (knight to g3 was deep in enemy territory, but also useless).

I usually play such moves because 'they look good and improve my piece" rather than thinking "will my bishop/knight sit there for a long time". 

I'm just pretty lazy

Just keep being yourself, it's very entertaining, and often i think i have some kind of dement-nesia so it's great to see someone that can play so well based on a lot of chess instinct and looking at each arising situation anew.

Sorry if these are anti complements but I only have an hour or so for chess each day at the moment and yeh this type of play is yeh guerrilla chess or something

The MMA of chess!

Ah ok. I like to annotate my games as if I was explaining to someone: maybe explain isn’t the right word, it’s supposed to be entertainment. Which is probably why I put such terrible games into the “game showcase” section.

that second game's ending was weird. Usually, I either get checkmated or my opponent gets checkmated.

Almost anyone can do that. BTW, B1Z, two days ago or something your flag said that you were somewhere else than in Malta. Huh, is that Siege of Malta book in your library because you are in Malta and, I would think that decent people who lived in Malta would have something even close to that.
