Unusual Pawn Formation - Wall Attack

Sort:

The game was amusing.  I was able to get all my pawns to the 4th rank and later trapped my opponent's queen.

nice play, this is the first game I have ever seen like that

1. was this a blitz game?

2. what were your ratings at the time (you and your opponent)

5 minute blitz;  I am rated 2215 blitz, my opponent may have been 1800.

What did computer analysis think of the game?  It would have given you a few "?"Laughing

billwall you have a really high blitz rating, and I am suprised that a player with your rating would play like that (not saying that its bad) just saying that i would expect a book opening from someone with your rating

I am almost the last guy to play book openings unless I know someone who plays a theoretical opening that I would go into if prepared.  I've written several books on unusual openings and always play for traps and fun chess in blitz and faster time controls. I try to make my own book after 40 years of play and get out of book to rely on experience and tricky play.  And it it doesn't work, I am usually ahead on time and just try to prevent mate in the time left.  I don't think there is an unusual opening that I haven't tried and gotten away with.
