Black seems to have played a really poor Taimanov in this game that wrapped up a few days ago.

Scandinavian Defense gone wrong.
LOL!!! That minor piece combo was epic!
A typical Sicilian Najdorf game where I broke in thanks to a minor piece sac.
More computer crushing, this time Level 8!
A nice little KGA mini.
Another mini, this time with one of my favorites, the Scotch Goering Gambit, Double Pawn Sacrifice.

- e4 d5
- d4 dxe4
- Nc3 Nf6
- f3 exf3
- Nxf3 Bf5
This game, which began as a Center-Counter
(Scandanavian) Defense, has mutated into a
Gunderam D. variation BDG or Blackmar-Diemer
Gambit.
- Bc4 e6
- O-O Be7 Black’s achieved equality, I think.
- Ne5 This move on move #6 is popular, as is Bc4,
but the combination of both moves fails tactically.
- … Bxc2
- Qxc2 Qxd4+
10.Kh1 Qxe5
11.Bf4 Qc5 The virulence of the BDG, when it works,
is a product of ultra-rapid superbly harmonious attacks
achieved via quick development at the cost of a pawn.
Black cannot afford to rest on his two-pawn advantage,
but must reclaim the center and contest White’s initiatives
across all 64 squares.
12.Na4 Qc6
13.Qb3 O-O I believe a6 immediately is stronger.

0-1 Playing gambits without a strong pawn
Center is phenomenally difficult. White should
have punished my inprecision, but didn’t.
