London System Domination (5 min game, 3.5 Minute checkmate)

First off I'm new.This has been one of my more fluid games to date.I developed my pieces,then linked my rooks for a central attack,since my opponent had not yet castled.My opponent castled queenside and I just overloaded on the queen side, lead by a pawn storm then advanced my rook for an easy win.

Of course, my opponent was rated 620,but I'm rated evenlower, so I think I have a little right to feel good :)

I think my opponent played very passive, but I didn't leave much room for counter play either.I'm not entirely sure about bumping the K to C2 to swing the rooks over, but in this case then did not seem to be any draw back to doing it.

I welcome all comments,good or bad.I'm always open to receiving constructive critsizm!

Hope this is helpful a bit :), good game.

I expected hanging pieces - cheap tactics with those ratings but this was actually well played by white. I don't have time for analysis but I think you should be on your way up with games like this.

Thanks you everyone. I've only started playing chess in January and I'm astounded at how much there is to this game.Before all I knew was how the pieces moved. I have been playing poker at a very high level for years and I just found chess when I played a buddy for $50 when drunk one night ( I knew, we poker degenerates,lol).Anyway, I lost. After that I thought, I have to look at this game.

I'm not really sure how mnay hours I've spent playing, watching lessons on chess.com and youtube and doing tactics puzzles. I've put in about 8 hours this month on tactics alone.

I didn't post this to brag, but rather I was pround at how fluid the game was adn that I was able to execute my plan.As David210 points out there are certainly holes in my game (many and big ones!).As in poker, I learned the hard way how to plug these holes and I'm hoping with the same dedication I can at least become an average chess player.

I appreciate any any all, further comments and I really appreciate the time you spent on the analysis David!
