epic_adventures_of,

 

Gee, calling me a piece of sh@t surely sounds original - lol!

And  it would be difficult to "kick my ass" as you and I, are in different countries, and I wonder how you are going to "kick my ass" online.. Maybe you could try it here. But what you probably want to say will also probably get you banned. So you are, perhaps wisely, not going to do it.

 

Finally, I did look an one of your posts. You called Erick, "a dick". What is this obsession with excrement and  human waste? Is this a favorite topic of you? Does profanity turn you on?

 

But seriously, if you don't like miniatures, why (and I am repeating myself since you might have a learning disability), why are you here? Just to post? There are other posts where you can publish your games with people who might go wild with thunderous applause over your brilliance in chess.

 

Or, even better, you could actually start a forum of your own. Call it the Burger King Trophies, or whatever you want.

TheSultan31003,

 

Yeah for the Sozin! =)

 

Just a few notes on your game. The move 7.a3 is considered to be a time-waster as Black can either ignore the bishop and keep developing and White would always have this move in reserve should it prove to be necessary.

 

That being said, Black usually does not develop his knight to c6 at this stage of the game. The move 8.Be3 seems to be a very strong one as Black has problems finding further moves for his Knight on c6.

 

Here are two games showcasing this theory. Both of them are miniatures, to keep with the theme of this forum.

@KevinWood44

Both you and your opponent missed obvious best moves. You both ignored the need to castle (which is something you should do unless you're high rated and know what you're doing), and you hung your pieces multiple times. 

Jakker4

Agree with @eaglelefty, the one that really stands out to me is a missed 10. Bxg4.

Jakker4

Well, for the most part, your moves weren't bad.

Jakker4

I'm not sure how to annotate, I copied and pasted a PGN.

However, I'm not a fan of my 9. Na4, or his 16...Qd8 or his 17...a6.

On my opinion, the first player is having more advantages than other one, there fore, he can become the winner

In this Bullet game the pawn "gift" wasn't safe to take.

1000-rated Bullet players have gotten far stronger lately, but that didn't stop me from winning this nice game.

12 move checkmate with queen sac!

 

gchess33

This game featured an extremely fun Queen trap.

Very creative gchess33.

A recent OTB one. Hardly a good game, or an original one- the motif has been repeated hundreds of times. Also not a true miniature, but Black could have resigned 15 moves earlier.
