Also, and this is directed at multiple posters, please don't post terrible games. This isn't meant to be a giant landfill for games filled with blunders. These are supposed to be games with some aesthetic value, which others would enjoy looking at. Thank you.
This is a nice game i played that shows why the king does not belong in the midle of the board.

Making full use of the bishop on g7. Posting this game as a miniature as it's effectively over after 24...Qxf4 and 25...Rxe3+, moves I enjoyed finding.
Miniature? A total of 28 moves, but the fix was in by 18.Nb5. The remaining moves were engineering thanks to my opponent's insufficient counterplay.
How about one of my worst miniatures. I forced a draw because I couldn't see the winning move. Pretty funny game though.
A monumental game of bullet chess. White makes a shot in the dark and wins.
That king had a death wish! So I finally got to play one of the most well known traps in the Danish Gambit. Black shouldn't have gobbled up the e pawn or traded his bishop or castled at that moment. I've gone through this with an engine in the past and stockfish wants me to play bxf7 when black takes the e pawn, but I don't like giving up my bishop for a pawn when I've already gambitted 2 pawns. Plus, if you play Ne2 you just might get to use this trap.

Cute game, but you were busted if White would have played 11. Rd1.
Learning to play the Dragon. My plan began with 14...Ng4 and white took the bait.

Yeah, I've only been playing the KID for a week now. It's definitely going to be a struggle to adjust to it but I feel like it will be a worthwile endeavor. I'm pretty sure I should've played c5 but I tried to force e5 despite the bishop being where it was.
