Keeping cool under pressure is the key

Probably my best game ever.

I denied the courtesy at 17. ... Qxe4+

This was so bad I'm laughing U BLUNDERED UR QUEEN ON MOVE 9!!! (good luck tho)

I was intentionally aggressive.

I was intentionally reckless.

I intentionally was in IDGAF mode.

I didn't want to play all your little, traditional, orthodox classical BORING incremental advance of play by play moves, rather full on full blown assault. (Of course this won't pull off 100% of the time, but that's the point and beauty in a timed game.)

The whole point of playing chess is to... PLAY. Not to appease your coach or other peers and sell your soul to devil.

So there.

You are entitled to your opinion, as am I. And this was absolutely gem of a game to show that even if you play absolutely madness like Sparta but don't kowtow to pressure, you can still pull off James Bond like suave.

Your mileage "of boring style" may vary.

You do realize that it was intentional and I didn't really care about my queen. Or you don't get that either?

I just want to point out how ridiculously bad it is.

I am not particularly good at chess. In fact I'm very much a beginner. I like that you posted your game and are proud of the win, but you must realize higher rated players will always criticize a move we think is amazing as a blunder (its probably considered a blunder for a reason. Meaning you will end up in a losing position or lost a piece without any compensation). This forum is a great way to express yourself and I'm glad you did. I liked the game. Just remember when you post you open the door for criticism and will probably get tons of it. Good luck, keep learning.

The game is great fun. I was impressed with the ... Nf2# hence this play line:
30. Bxa7 b6 31. Qa6 Ng4 32. Qxb6+ Kd5 33. c4+ Ke5 34. Rf1 Nf2+ 35. Qxf2 Rg4 36. Qe3+ Re4 37. Bd4#

I know how good it feels to steal a win from a bad position - especially after you've played poorly - but the point of these forums is to help folks improve.  I'm also a fan of aggressive and unorthodox playing styles and openings, but poor play is simply poor play.  The checkmate at the end of your game is a really beautiful one, and not surprising that a player near your level would overlook that threat.

The fact remains that you were under pressure the entire game due to the use of an opening (the Scandinavian) which you obviously don't really understand.  Your opponent saw most of your threats and handled all but the last one (32. Bxa7 looks quite OK for white) quite well.

You can put your opponent under constant pressure, and even give up material while doing so, without resorting to the "IDGAF" attitude.  It's hard to maintain pressure when you're the one giving tempo on account of bringing the queen out too soon.

Well what is there to say. You spent the whole opening trying to hang your queen and got successful only on move 17.

However I do agree that keeping cool under pressure is the key. That has little to do with the game you posted though.

  If you don’t care about your queen perhaps you should not play chess.

  Sacrificing the queen for some tangible compensation is one thing, losing material and obtaining a lost positions after 8 moves is another.

 A ‘best game’ is not based on the euphoria created by the final result in a game against a beginner, who missed the very first opportunity to capture the queen, even though it was in plain view. A good game is not one in which one gets away with colossal mistakes. Mistakes are inevitable, but there are repeated huge blunders—intentional or not, they are still blunders—which would make one either start over from scratch, or quit it altogether.

At first I wanted to add that, but then decided to do it the next time, assuming it got a response.

 Hmmm, I know.

Hmmm

Yes, sir. 

This should be the game of the century.
Rising from your own ashes of death to pull off a miracle!
Absolutely Phenomenal !
