My first perfect game!

If you want to see the game, any premium member can see it in my recent games archive. It is originalzombie vs Lawdoginator  0-1, 14 moves, completed on 2 Dec 2010. I would post it here if I knew how.

Here you go:

Well played by you, your opponent played some weird stuff but you can only respond to what's put in front of you.

Thanks Prawn. Thanks both for your comments and for posting the game. 

Nicely done Llawdogg!  You shouldn't base your games being "perfect" based on a computer's analysis (one that is about 600 rating points weaker than today's best computer anyway). In fact, if you look inside of a book of brilliancies, most computers will be very disgruntled with those games, finding a slightly better continuation for the winner, but one which would not result in a double rook sacrifice, or would digress with a queen sacrifice for two pieces and initiative. I think computers are best used to learn new tactical themes, or reasonable opening sidelines, but you or your coach should be the judge of your play, not a bunch of transistors and a numerical evaluation.

Thanks, 10acious. Great name, by the way. 

Computer deficiencies or no, I had the same pleasant experience for the first time here earlier this week in a live game and I, too, feel as good about it as the OP.

I also played a perfect game once:

1. e4 f6

2. d4 g5

3. Qh5#

I tend to give away the advantage sometimes, although usually if i have a plan ... part of the psychological aspect "what would my opponent do it ... " or "this dude gave me a knight for free, why would I do my best move now ? I'll leave a slight blunder then wait". Checking with computer my game goes from +2.0 back down to +1.0 only to return to +2.0 again a few moves later, obviously these lines I find don't look so great to the machine, but maybe the opponent won't do any better.

I think I played my worst chess of the year today ...

Well, then, tomorrow will be better. Maybe even, dare I say, perfect!

I thought we were meant to be discussing chess!

You never know where a thread may go, but there is a chess game on this thread. 

You could always root for the San Antonio Spurs. They're pretty good. 

The San Antonio Spurs, like the Tottenham Hot Spurs, are a professional sports team called the Spurs. One plays football in the UK and the other plays basketball in the US. They both have big games tonight. 

When you are 4 goals down from the first leg, big doesn't really matter, as the result isn't in doubt! The San Antonio Spurs might just have a chance tonight though...

OK. Thanks for reminding me of this fun thread! 

Seems like a mistake to bring your queen out so early...
