I cant figure specifically how to load games on this bastard server, however this was pretty cool. I had about an 8 move combo and what I call a reverse blunder with the queen on a5 I pretended to make a dumb move but I was all for the set up. Once he took my knight, I set up a rook capture/bishop sac. Pretty good for my rating I guess
Sorry I'm new to the blog. So move 13 was made to look like a blunder. Once he took nc3, I purposely lined up pawns at c,d, and e to bring his queen out. Once I saw his bishop come out on ...12, I knew QA5 would bring out the pawn. I had to be patient because of the trapped bishop. Once I got him to commit his knight ...17 nd7, I knew game was over since nd5+ would trap his king in the back ranks
Alright. This kind of trap looks clever but its actually garbage and is refuted like this:
Usually you shouldnt rely on traps too much but thiis one was probably good because its hard to see the refutation. P.S nice username lol
Still playing for tricks lately. I played h4 just to prevent Kingside castling and then I tried to keep the Queenside messy so my opponent wouldn't want to castle there, and what should have happened was this dance where neither player could castle (if I castle my trap goes away and h4 just looks silly,) and we try to find useful moves, but instead my opponent castled into it.
