"how often do we play games like this"

We do so every time our opponent lets himself get rolled over.

I have rolled people over and been rolled over, but even then I don't remember every move being the best move before.

Though I suppose for titled players only playing best moves is nothing special.

Nice, good fork trick too!

Presume that you mean "Instead of 4. Nxe4, 4. Qh5 is a lot of fun".

d3 and it sucks on ice

or maybe even 4.Qe2

oh i see

perhaps ng5?

Well Jayesh, there are best moves and then there are best moves.  Your opponent played the opening innocuously enough, but the main thing is that every move you played--with the exception of 9... Bg4--was a more or less standard developing move.  The kind of moves they call "5-minute moves."

Am I griping because you played good strong moves and won the game quickly?  Of course not.  I just think that having a computer rate you "EXCELLENT" doesn't necessarily mean that much--it usually just means that you managed to avoid hanging anything too drastic.  Sure, it's frustrating to overlook stuff (especially when you're starting out and it seems to be something of a habit)...but chess is a lot more than just avoiding error.  I would much rather see somebody play a combination that's not quite sound than always choose the safe, unimaginative path.

Does chess.com have a setting (premium or otherwise) where you can find your "best" game?

I hope you plan on sending your opponent a Christmas card, and i would throw in a Thank You card too.

omg i expected something alien. seen and done this hundred times. nevertheless, here's your medal:🏅
