*of my chess

Sometimes i am just like... What the heck happened? Even when i win and checkmate my opponent. I mean.. is this really how i am suppoused to win? Push harry, garry and their close friend fredrick the f pawn and that's it. (Simon you rock!) I mean i no longer get satisfaction for such a win.. let me show you what i mean. Sometiems i play like in totall non-respectfull agressive manner that i almost feel sorry for my opponent. What do you guys think about your chess?

Hey-ya kaynight hope your doing allright :]

I really wonder what a title player would say about this type of game... is this chess or just pushing pieces... Because i didn't think or calculated anything.. it was 3 min game.

You taught your opponent the error of his ways in giving Black an easy game with opposite sides castling. Now he knows.
What's the problem?
And shouldn't you have posted this in Game Showcase?

Will post it in game analysis perhaps. Nothing to show here really. Just my dissapointment.  I wanna hear from players what they think about their chess - are they satisfied , do they feel they played great game when they win in blitz etc.

maybe i should take long brake? Feels boring even when i win...

Don't be dissapointed about 3 min games. There is not much calculating at 3 min games except some few-moves-tactics. Maybe you should play some games with longer tempo and calculate a bit more.

But i get tired too quick in 15-20 min games or i get distracted..and the frustration and wasted time is just too much when losing.. and some players are reaally strong if you know what i mean..

on 5 min pool i will go down in flames.. just can't get used to this time control.. i play slow or too quick and players at 2k rating are just crushing me while on 3min are still weak like me.

Now tell me how can a person be happy when he wins,  when he knows, his opponents knows, and everybody including the neighbours dog knows this was beyond terrible and pathetic on x2... If master see this game he will assume my rating would be 900 at highest. If someone ask are you good at chess i can't even say i am average ... What move was That Rh7 are you kidding meeeee..Thats the most sad move in entire chess world and i was laughting while making it.. at least this one was not boring.


If i was my opponent i would type 10 swear words in da chat , in his mail and on the wall and every chess forum out there including on sites that has nothing to do with chess!

So true. I win like 98-99% of my games against Computer1-EASY, but every win still feels great, and I never get tired of playing it.

your opponent played not as good as you did from turn 4, 4.d3 allowing d5 and opening the d file (instead of Nc3 to strengthen the d5 square), and right after that, ran into an exchange that not only gave the initiative away (one move ahead in developpement, the queen can't be easily threatened), but eased your queen side castling.

 

Nothing really happened on the d file, but it seems the rest of the game is just like the very begining, full of slight but accumulating inaccuracies from white that lead to a much easier position for black. The defending player often have more to calculate, while if the attacking player has is having a really good time, he can sometimes just play positionally and on intuition, getting all his pieces involved into action.

 

So I really don't think you should be embarassed. Even if you don't realized it, you played better than your opponent and won. If it feelt too easy, maybe your opponent was too weak, or in a bad mood.If anyone, it is your opponent who should be embarassed to have overlooked the mate, but even if he had much better way to defend (Re2 instead of Kf1) and survive longer, the position was at the very least much harder to play for white already.

 

Also, I believe chess is not just about tactic, and some position does not require as much calculation than others. Maybe you just happened to have made good moves somehow, but they were good nonetheless, better than those of your opponent, and definitely better than pushing pieces.

Maybe you should play actual good people so you don't get bored of winning?

Thank you, you are correct. By the way isn't funny after i moved my queen to center square at d5... it stayed there for 15 moves without moving. I found this incredible.
