morphy-like! good job, keep it up
Fun tactical game
Sort:
Great game! Against unusual replies like this either ...d5 or ...Nf6 are correct after accepting the gambit.
It is amazing how he gave up his darksquared bishop so willingly despite clearly being weak on the dark squares!
3...d5 or 3...Nf6 are correct for black as usual after an unusual e4 reply (in this case after accepting the gambit). You may also want to consider the 2.a3 wing gambit lines or 1.e4,c5 2.Nf3,Nc6 3.b4, though black won't always play 2...Nc6 obviously. If 3...cxb4 then 4.d4, if 3...Nxb4 then 4.c3 with a vague Evan's Gambit feeling.
3...d5 4.e5,Nc6 5.Nf3,e6 is similar to the French with an important difference of the b4 pawn. 6.Be3,Nge7 7.a3,Nf5 looks equal to me. Things get interesting after 8.Bxf5,fxe5. Depending on how things go black can play ...h6 with the idea of g5 afterward.
6...g6? was unnecessarily weakening. Sometimes this fianchetto just isn't viable. It's odd the mindset that a player must always somehow find a way to fianchetto their king's bishop every game.
The bxa3 capture is typically weak for black as the game shows, since it gives white development and piece mobility.

thanks!
wow those tactics were soo cool! I especially liked the sac. at the end
Well if black had played the opening correctly he would have had an advantage out of it; the wing gambit is one of the worst responses you can play against the sicilian

Abhishek2, I've said it before and I'll say it again:
I like your style! :-)

I felt aggressive today like I usually do and I played a short 15/10 game. I like it!
I'm playing this person who has like 5 accounts on here, wewwwlxh. He also has another account wewwwzxl and wewwwpwy. His rating is around 1700, so a pretty decent player to get a 15/10 game with. Here's the game:
That was fun! Notice how f7 was the main theme of this mating attack. All my pieces were directed there. Black's demise started from move 3 with the inaccuracy 4... b6?! He should try to challenge my space in the center with d5 or wait with Nf6. Or even g6.
Then 6...g6?! Knights should preferably go out before bishops. The bishop had to move back to f8 to defend the weakness on d6. And the bishop on b7 didn't have much of a future blocked on d5. After Bg7 I immediately took advantage of it by Nb5.
Analysis is appreciated. Thanks for reading!
