So, i was playing 1800, and, im 1500 so i get crushed most of the times i play against them, but in this game below, this dude resigned for no reason on move 15, here is the game below:

And he resigned after h6 😂😂😂, i was like, what!?, why did he resign, in fact he was in a better position than me. And here is the coolest part, i think he pressed the resign button on accedent, because it turned out that he was really mad about that game, and 5 days later i saw that his account was banned for cheating, so he must have been really mad for losing against me 🤣🤣.

How to set a trap in the London System. Black went wrong by not playing Bd6 early and the normal Nc6 is actually a blunder. Two sharp moves and multiple threats ended this before it ever started.

What in the ... is a Pereya attack?! I swear, sometimes I think people just make up all these fake names just to sound cool lol. That aside, nice game.

I didn't even know it was a thing either but there was a book called "winning with the London" that talked about it. Apparently the name comes from a correspondence master in I think, Argentina in the 90s that played for the World Championship. It revolves around the c3 idea. The publisher was Everyman Press so I might have to find a copy of it besides at the local library.

If it's such an obscure reference, writing etiquette requires to give a little context at least, or else the reader gets all confused. This answer of yours and Ronster's gave the proper info now

Nice.

Engines usually prefer Nbd2 to allow white to get the typical London pawn structure with c3. Also, white has the option of following up with Nb3. While capturing black's c5 pawn may look counter intuitive since it lets black develop a piece (Bxc5), white gets good play by harassing the B with Nb3. I don't mind showing one of my own blunderfests to illustrate this point:

Cripes! Phooey! What a revolting development!evil

White gets greedy vs Dutch, then runs down the clock before disconnecting.

An English opening gone wild.......

Let me guess, the right move is 20...Qg5, isn't it? Also in the middlegame, three minor pieces are stronger than the queen, under normal circumstances. But there was nothing normal about that position, what a complex game.

Yeah, Qg5 is a killer. Well, contrary to what Michael Douglas said, "greed" (grabbing white's knights on g2 and d2) is not that good.

Funny you should say that, I was just re-watching last night (with my wife for her first time) Wall Street! Awesome movie.

It's interesting to note that the film "Wall Street" came out in 1987, about four years before the internet went public. So even back in those 'pre-tech' days, these 'greedy' guys were 'working the system' to line their pockets in rather underhanded ways....... meh

Only a draw!. If I ever write my autobiography, I think I'll title it "My Life as a Patzer".grin In this game, I miss the winning idea, Bd2, over and over again. Still, it's kind of an interesting mess of a game....

That almost looks like a sideline of the Advance Variation French Defense. You are correct that Bd2 was a monster move but looking at how that game played out (especially if this was a blitz or bullet game), I don't know if I would have immediately seen it either. Nice job pulling out a draw though. GG

We get lucky that White doesn't see Nd6+ and it converted into a nice win.

Here's another game where I got tunnel vision but still managed a nice finish.

The "!" at the end is for flashiness? Rxb7 would be my choice.
