if you are rated 1300 and don't know how to beat a higher rated player..!!here is how to do it..the plan is simple if are playing black play two to five common move(book moves) and from there just go bizarre.. the truth is if u play main lines u hardly stand a chance cause yo opponent will already know yo move even before u play it . check my game 1300+ vs 1700+ Check out this #chess game: Jerry_209 vs NGOSACHOMBA - https://www.chess.com/live/game/3173350576 if anyone knows how to post the game can help. and comment what u think of the game

To be fair, your opponent made several 1300-esque blunders

My impression is that it wasn't so much your "bizarre" play that caused the loss as his making some very bad strategic errors.

1) The way he let you dominate the Queen-side without compensation elsewhere.

2) The way he close down the King-side and particularly the f-file when he needed that to have realistic counterplay.

3) The way he then totally weakened his King-side trying, ill-advisedly, to find counterplay, where that counterplay was a pipe-dream.

You exploited what he gave you, and that is of course good.

I have not run engine analysis on the game yet, so I don't know if my thoughts are accurate or not. But that is what it looks like, at least on the surface.

Im really thinking that you guys are 1900 rated cause low rated players cant analyse a game like u can.. as low rated players we tend to focus all out attack on the King... to be honest I really didn't know what i was doing..my plan was let me just try and play something different(ie.away from attacking the King). I was totally astonished with the results.. can u you guys post the game here for me if u know how that is done

On a computer (not on a Mobile device):

Go into your game archive. Click on the game. Near the bottom of the side-bar is a row of four buttons... the first one says "Download" when you roll your mouse over it. Click that button to pop up a window with the game's PGN file. Click inside that new window to highlight the whole PGN in blue. Right-click and choose "Copy" off the drop-down menu. You don't actually need to download the PGN file, just copy it. Now come back here to the thread. Just above the Reply box is a row of icons, the first one looks like a grey-and-white chess board. Click it. Go to the "Load PGN" page. Click into that window, right-click "Paste". Then click the "Insert" button, and you're done.

I don't really agree with cellomaster and madratter. I think your win was more due to you playing well rather than your opponent playing badly. He made some bad blunders but it's much easier to blunder for the side that's under pressure and he was under pressure because you outplayed him strategically.

 

I think 13. f5 was fine by White but he should have followed up with g4-g5 and played it like a King's Indian.

Speak for yourself. I'm low rated and I don't think I always focus on a king attack. I do think it's a fairly well known strategy to complicate the game as much as possible when playing higher rated players and to simplify the game a bit when playing people lower than yourself.
