Oh of course it has a name, it's way playable and easily transposes to a bunch of solid openings, and I think 1. d4 e6 2. c4 f5 used to be a popular way to enter the Dutch Defense to avoid the Staunton Gambit. Besides, everything has a name nowadays... Meadow Hay opening for example (1. a4 I believe).
Now, there probably aren't too many unique lines but even those are relatively solid for a 'weird' opening (for example 1. d4 e6 2. c4 Bb4+).
I think you're missing a bunch of moves, or there are errors in the record. 3 Qe5 isn't possible for example.
Congrats on the win in any case.

I recorded it as I played it with him, and the board had coordinates on it, so I sure it is accurate. I'll double check it in my Tournament Chess program though.I think you're missing a bunch of moves, or there are errors in the record. 3 Qe5 isn't possible for example.
Congrats on the win in any case.
Edit: I have checked the game, and fixed the errors in recording. Please check it again.

Can't always assume your opponent sees that...

Forgot about the knight and was trying to win quick. I was hoping my opponent had not heard of the scholar's mate. I guess he had.

But a win is a win (even if I don't get a rating boost on Chess.com as a result)!

Just finished up a game in the Team Match against the Blunder Club...
game is here
We were even until Black's 7. ...Ng4 when I go up a piece nabbing the Knight for free with my Queen. However, he evens things up, and then gains an advantage, after playing 13. ...Nxc2.
He blunders with 18. ...Be6, and promptly loses his Queen to my Rook, and I'm up a pawn. However, at this point in the game, I'd much rather be playing his game than mine. My pawns on the queenside are sitting ducks, and I've got doubled pawns on the e file.
So I press my advantages: a pawn advance up the e file, and my Queen's superior mobility. I bring out the King to help defend as well.
After black's 34. ...Ke6 I have a choice: Defend my advanced center pawn and take out his advancing pawns with Kxa6; or eliminate his last kingside pawn, putting another check on him yet again, and simultaneously defending my last kingside pawns from his rook with Qxg4+. I was really worried about his rook prowling around down there, and I knew that if his King took my e pawn I could fork his King and Rook. So I went with the Queen move
After that, it was mostly a matter of not screwing up

Hey, been gone for a little while, here's a rather disappointing draw in one of our team matches where I made quite a few mistakes in a game that should have been fairly easy to win (fortunately our team has already secured the win in that match ).

Here is a little trifle from QueenAlice where I play the typical Bishop sacrifice on h7.
This is a cautionary tale; French is a difficult opening. Always look out when your kingside is carmped.
3...Nc6 might look a bit odd, but it is playable. But the bishop has no business on b4 in this variation, and Black should strive for castling long with b6, Bb7 and Qd7.
He could have defended better, but as far as I analysed it White wins in all variations after 6.0-0?

That's a nice short game. I've never actually played against 3.Nc6 before. 
I've been messing with agressive pawn push tactics a bit recently - lost some games on stupid blunders, but this game actually worked pretty nicely. I'm not sure a strat like this is viable at higher levels, but it was fun

I thinked black missed 27 Nxc7 but even then I enter the lategame a pawn up after Rxc7, RxR and Rb8+

...and only now I see that the f-pawn would have then been taken en passant. No wonder I am getting creamed at CFC tourney, if this is how observant I really am.

I lost two games via checkmate to my friend Marty the other night. I forgot to take pen and paper, so I can't post the games here. I did win 2 games of pool against him though! Seems I'm getting better at that, while I contine to struggle with my chess game. Guess I'm not much of a logical type.

When you see a good move, look for a better one, right?
Well I was playing black, with the move, in this position:
I had originally planned on playing Rxg1, and after Nxg1 or Rxg1 I'd probably been in a won endgame (though a pretty complicated and tricky one).
But then I was like "hey the only square the white queen can go to is f2, and if it goes there, I'll play Rg2 forking the Queen and checkmate, so why not take the knight first?
Uh, well, the answer is below. (Or you can try to figure it out yourself)
http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=25006798
The kicker is that he offered me a draw (which I could have forced) on move 35...
On another note, I'll post my finished second round CFC tourney games with comments soon... I wanna hear what my opponents have to say about them...
