the game.

I don't want to offend you but are you kidding me?

These are not good moves so when you are a beginner please read good articles for beginners. I learn alot from the articles of Dozy.

Oh my . . . Try playing that way against anybody rated over 300 and you'll get massacred.

after eleven moves,you still have three men in the barn. you have a rook out in left field. and your game is about to go south.

Wouw... A strategical masterpiece. Your play reminds me of Karpov's quiet, positional style that has quite a sting to it. Please keep me in the loop about your games.

i_can_do_it

there are way to many ways to capture one or the other..that's like obvious blunder everywhere well...I don't know who would win at the end but sure it looks pretty for both sides

First game is a beginners moves and would be unwise to play against more experienced players. Because you have to control the center and get ur pieces out if u want any chance to have a good game. Second game is a much better example. But it's a nice thing u tried to do in offering advice.

C'mon guys, this is clearly a joke... just step through the moves:

1. No central control; Knight on the edge

2. Defends the pawn?  Gains a bit of center?; takes the center (compared to the rest: !!)

3. Ignores enemies location, puts rook in direct attack of lower piece (bishop); takes queen out too early

4. Handing the enemy a pawn for free; Moving the same piece twice in the beginning, before developing a piece, and weaking the strength of the center.

5. Gaining the center, but instantly losing control due to en passant;  Developing a piece (!!)

6. Threatening an easily avoidable fork, that's not even legitimate due to the silly night on the edge; I guess avoiding the fork in the worst possible way (removing the ability to castle)

7. Threatening to win a pawn; Sacrificing a queen for absolutely no benefit.

8. No taking the queen for no reason at all; Putting the queen under attack by two pawns and a rook... again, no benefit at all.

9. C'mon, are you kidding me?  Putting the queen under attack by the pawn and the opposing queen.; Trading queens

10. Proof that he knows how to capture with a pawn (thus proving this MUST be a joke); Attacking the rook.  Again, not developing any of his pieces;

11. Defending the rook by placing it under fire from the other knight? (Haha, god this post is hilarious); C'mon, are you serious????

checkmateisnear, are you being serious? The original game posted helped me improve 200 points. I go back to it every day, and always I learn something new.
