The Semi-Classical KID... not a lot of people play it. & KID players often underestimate it.
Nice game, that Nb8 was only possible because the center is so closed that Black has time to go back. Not very hard to see, instead of giving you a monster unopposed bishop
Accelerated London gone wrong.
Am I blind or not how is Bxc3 brilliant?
If White does not retake with bxc3, he simply is down a piece. The sacrifice opens the c1-a3 diagonal for the text and places White on the defensive.
That doesn't make it a brilliant move for Black, it's quite simple actually. It's just another instance of engines not knowing when and when not to give any marks
Post your worst miniatures here? Ok will do.
I don't play the Italian very often anymore but this was a nice game to play.

But it's not a brilliant it's just a trade, bishop for knight right? (Edit: nvm)
Going Dutch for the win.
Another win with the Zuckertort.
Colle finish
Nice central battle a la Alekhine defense, but against the Larsen, with a satisfying tactical coup on move 18.
So is this really a Delayed Alapin with e6 or an Exchange French by transposition? Either way, live by blitz and die by blitz.
@mauvile so only the pawn structure makes it look like it could be some type of transposition but really it is solidly in the Alapin lines?
And another Sicilian win.
A near flawless Zuckertort game at 98% accuracy.
