Have you ever played a chess game against someone who did something annoying? Like play this random, far-fetched move not in any recorded opening you know? Feel free to discuss that here.

If you lose to such moves, it does get annoying.

But that's one of the great things about chess. The fact that 10 moves in, you can be in a position that no one has ever played before.

Which was the "annoying" move?

nc3 was whites mistake and nf6 was blacks allowing white to attempt a fried liver

No Nxd5 is dubious, the best answer is probably 6.d4.

I was too stupid. Forgot

6: Bxd5 is the mistake. 6: Nxf7 is much better.

Black is having an interesting game after 5: ...Na5 but 5: ...Nxd5 is a big mistake that lets white get ahead.

The worst part is that OlafurK was not allowed any well earned rating points from that game- Naturalshow simply abandoned it rather than resigning.

oh yeah, counted as a loss for me anyway

After any OTB loss I try to collect myself and prepare for my opponent and review some opening theory.

 

Then my opponent, which I had just prepared a special line in the Sicilian for, tosses out 1...Nc6

Makes me want to scream. lol
