ooh, what a hot chick

ok the title was to get your attention i finally got the Bxh7 trick. observe.

You're lucky that Black developed his Knight to the wrong square. Also your Bishop didn't have that discovered check on the diagonal, so I don't know why Black moved to g6 with the King.

Nice game, though!

ecehs that wasnt her name i just made that part up to go with the title :)

Insane ches i think the theme is that if black is passively developed and there is the bishop on d3, knight of f3, And queen in starting position against a regularliy castled king (no pushed pawns) the player should look for themes like this.

nice

In order for there to be checkmate against a good defensive player, the f6-square has to be covered, usually by a pawn on e5. If there is a defender on f6 or if f6 can be occupied by a piece, then there are more defending chances. Also, the second Bishop is usually necessary to get a solid mating net.

Not saying your sacrifice here was a bad move. In fact, it was very correct IMO because of the e7-Knight. What I was saying is that Black would have had better chances if he had played 9...Kh6 and later N-g6 because then it wouldn't be a discovered check.

After 9...Kh6 wouldn't white follow-up with 10.e4

Or am I missing something?

He'd have to spend a tempi to do it. And then Black can move his Queen so the dicovered check doesn't win more than a pawn.

 because othere wise after the double capture on e5 then i coul;dnt capture back because my pawn would be pinnned

 After Kg6, Qh5 and unstoppable Mate comes....

I was gonna say, I thought you were one.

 Are you, Woodshover?

 No. Why do you ask?

 Why did you think the OP was one?

 Because of the avatar.

 The dude's name is Edward!

 Oh, I never noticed! I guess the avatar DOES look like a teenage boy, now that I look at it again.

are you talking about me? i feel concerned when people talk about me.
