A bullet trick I have never seen before

Sort:

I had an opponent in bullet chess, and the game goes as follows (my opponent was with white pieces): 1. g3 d5 2. c3 c6 3. Qc2 e6. 4. Qxh7 !!!!!! Rxh7, and he resigned. Nothing illegal but.... I am not a psychologist but is there someone who can explain to me: is something like that just a matter of bullet tricks or is the thing more serious: probably a matter of corrupt personality? To me something like this is a huge dilemma. If he succeeded in his intentions hoping that I will not notice that queen's "sacrifice", what kind of pleasure there would be in something like that?  I was deeply upset, and my apologies for those who think something like that is normal in bullet. In that case I should seek medical assistance.

Stuff like that is normal in bullet

He probably was trying to catch you premoving.

For example -

Nakamura wrote about this premove trick in his 2009 book on bullet chess. It can be seen as the predecessor to the Lefong Bh6 (or ...Bh3) trick that Bizmark showed.

White can play 1.c3 2.Qc2 3.Qxh7 against everything, and black can play 1...c6 2...Qc7 3...Qxh2

Your opponent is trying to catch premoving players off guard to win the game.

 

This is more prevalent at the 2000+ levels where premoves are much more common.

 

B1Z and Steven have demonstrated this in their posts.

classic trick simply taking advantage of premovers and being dirty, its quite fun
