Rare things in chess games

Sort:
Kingfisher

This game features some combinations rarely seen in chess games (I certainly never saw them in a REAL game!). Also, I think I played rather well Wink

 BTW, can anyone give ma a better word than "camuflage" to describe moves meant to confuse the opponent? And also, how do you make move lists?

Hey, in your opening my tip is u don't play by u got thing because the only two things that will happen is ur king gets more opened to certain attacks like the one the bishop did, the second one is very simple ur pawn gets eaten^^

I think you were being a little overconfident in the strength of your attack . A lot of your plans were Hope Chess, " I hope he doesn't see my plan " , or " Oops I didn't think he would do that " . You should always try and assume your opponent will play the best move available for him and play according to that . That is the difference between Real Chess and Hope Chess. This is a good link on the subject :

I don't see it that way. What I did was assume he will play the move that looks like the best move. The only way to play the truely best move is to know exactly what I was thinking.

What you said : I don't see it that way. What I did was assume he will play the move that looks like the best move.

What I said : You should always try and assume your opponent will play the best move available for him

Do you not see a contradiction in those two statements ? What looks to be the best move for you , may very well not be the best move nor the move that he ends up playing , and this ultimately can cause you to lose the game .

Excellent family fork on the twenty seventh.

I didn't say it right, but you got the meaning. I look at the position from my opponents point of view and ask myself what would I do here. When he does what I thought he would, I just continue. But it's a proven fact that I don't always see the best move, so if he doesn't stay in my line of thinking, I have to think if it was a better or worse move than the one I calculated.

Other then not ot play hope chess, do you see anything else I could do better?

2. d5. Why not take the undefended pawn on e5?

 

4. Bg5 Bxf2 This is a very common tactical pattern. It won't take you by surprise next time! 

 

I think you misunderstand why 5. ... Nxe4+ and 6. ... Nxg5 are bad moves. It looks to me like 7. ... b6 is the move that loses the knight. If black plays 7. ... f6 then the knight will have a safe square on f7. Though it would have been better for black to capture on g5 with the queen, but not because of losing the knight.

 

24. Nxg4. The immediate Ba6 is winning. 

24. Ba6+ Kd8 (24. ... Kb8? 25. Nc6+ Rxc6 26. Qxc6 and Qb7 next) 25. Nc6+ Rxc6 26. Qxc6 and white is threatening Rd1+. Black has no way to deal with this without losing the queen. A couple examples:

a) 26. ... Qe8 27. Rd1+ Ke7 28. Qxc7+ Kf6 (Kf8? 29. Rd8 wins the queen) 29. Rf1+ Kg6 30. Bd3+ Kh6 31. Qf4+ and Qg5# next.

b)  26. ... Qf6 27. Rd1+ Ke7 28. Qxc7+ Ke8 29. Bb5+ Kf8 30. Rd8+ wins the queen.

On move 24, your attack was still good!  The line below is forced! I don't cover all the variations, but I can't see a way for black to avoid heavy loss of material.

 Edit: Loomis beat me to this, but th diagram is still good!

Say what?! I totally gave him credit for playing well! I don't know how you missed it.

A word better than "camuflage"? Yeah, how about "camouflage"? Or how about "bad"?  That usually describes such moves.
