I don't know why the opponent didn't do that, I played as white. What I should have done (when I looked at the game later) was 10. Bxg5 rather than Nxa8, although the knight there would have died, so I probably wouldn't have won the way I did.

What I should have done (when I looked at the game later) was 10. Bxg5 rather than Nxa8...

I don't see anything on the g5-square at move 10... Neither do I see a Bxg5 move at any point during the game. At move 10 the only two moves closely related are Bg5 and Bxf7 and neither looks that good...

 

[viper275]

My mistake.

White moved a piece for the first time at move 11! I wish my opponents did that...

 

[Mongols_rule]

i think a Queen counts as a piece. doesn't it?

 

[Panzar75]

The term "piece" can also be used when talking about Knights and Bishops in my language. I believe the same is the case in English. In any case, I meant Knights and Bishops.

If you say "he won a piece", do you not mean he won a Knight or a Bishop?

 

[punkbass2000]

AFAIK, anything other than a pawn is a piece. Knights and Bishops are minor pieces, and Rooks and Queens major.

 

[Panzar75]

Since things are kind of slow arond here I'll share a miniature of mine.

I'm black, 10 minutes + 3 sec per move.

1. Nf3 d5 2. d4 Bf5 3. c3 e6 4. e3 a6 5. Nbd2 c5 6. Qa4+ Nd7 7. Ne5 c4 8. g4 b5 9. Qd1 Bg6 10. Nxg6 hxg6 11. h3 Rb8 12. f4 Qh4+ 13. Ke2 Ngf6 14. Bg2 b4 15. Nf3 Qg3 16. Qf1 bxc3 17. bxc3 Ne4 18. Bd2 Rb2 19. a4 Nxc3# 0-1

I wasn't completely sure during the game if I had a strong attack or if my Queen was being trapped. Turned out I had a strong attack, even without white's last move blunder.

Not particularly dazzling but quick and to the point, I don't think I made any major mistakes.

 

[Panzar75]

Very nice tactic in the first one.

 

[Richard Cribb]

I might as well post this baby from a rapid game (45 minutes each) I played recently, since I finally succeeded in playing a game in the great style of Mongols_rule and Narz.
It is not a masterpiece, and based on an old game by Olaf Barda, but perhaps some of you will find it amusing anyway.
Black's opening play is a bit too capricious, 7...Rc8 must be wrong, and 11...Qd7 is definitely a mistake, I think 11...g6 was necessary even if I prefer white after 12.Nh6. 12...Kd8 loses rapidly but I can't see any completely satisfactory alternatives anyway.14...Qxh3 is met by 15.Ne6#

Quite a mate there luce.

 

[Richard Cribb]

Quite a mate there luce.

Thanks a lot!
Did I mention that my favourite piece was always the white-squared bishop? To me that one is like the Persian Immortal in Civ3!
And in this game I had a Chinese Rider as well...

*gripe, gripe*

I would've won if it weren't for a stupid fascination with restrictive deflection tactics that left my rooks useless.

I haven't looked so closely at this messy game(there are improvements in the opening play for both sides), but it seems to me that 28..b5 is a grave error. Instead 28...Rxc1 29.Rxc1 Qe2+! 30.Bf2 Kd7 with the idea Rc8 seems to be a comparatively easy win, the two minor pieces should be no match for the black Amazon and passed e-pawn.
Quite nice attack, though.

 

[Tomoyo]

Thanks for the advice.

I'm playing a rematch against him and this game is nothing like that one. I'll post the results when we're done.

This isn't the rematch, but I liked it - it's a bit of a modified Legall's mate.
