Nice game!

Sort:
A Dutch defence. White tries to hold on to his extra pawn, but it turns out not to be worth the trouble.

Wow, what a beautiful mess on the h-file! Nice game.
I just don't get the Englund gambit. It's such a lemon. This is a funny game I dug out of my archives from a few years ago.

pretty fancy
I feel bad about bashing the Englund gambit. I mean, what the hell does a patzer like me know? Some intermediate players swear by this thing. In the interest of full disclosure, here's my most embarrassing loss to the Englund.......

Pardon me if the question seems a little silly, I haven't studied the Spanish. What's stopping Black from taking the e4 pawn?

you technically can but white always gets counterplay/winning one of your pawns

I'm certain you would've thrown the kitchen sink at the opponent if needed lol
I have been playing chess less than 3 months and this is the first time I have made 2 brilliants on a row.

The Open Lopez is the main line where black does this. Black does not win a pawn, but it is playable. Also in the main line of the Berlin defense.
Attacking miniature
More like my worst miniature than my best. Play an unsound opening, fall asleep and lose a whole rook to get a losing position, then find a nice attack against the king (10 best moves in the last 11) and win a miniature!

Nice! I'm surprised that a 1300 who plays the Two Knights is still allowing the Fried Liver with 5. ... Nxd5 and isn't going for either 5. ... Na5 or 5. ... b5 but fun for you that they are!
