Pawn rescues the queen

This is a game I observed.

I love the way black used his pawn to rescue the queen

1. d4 d5 2. c3 c5 3. Nf3 e6 4. Ne5 Nd7 5. Qa4 Bd6 6. Bf4 Bxe5 7. Bxe5 f6 8. Bd6 Qb6 9. dxc5 Qxb2 10. e3 Qxa1 11. Qb3 a5 12. Bb5 a4 13. Qc2 a3 14. O-O Qb2 15. Qd3 Qxa2 16. c6 bxc6 17. Bxc6 Ba6 18. Qd4 Bxf1 19. Bxa8 Qxb1 20. h3 a2 {White forfeits by disconnection} 0-1

Got to remember about knight double strike

1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e3 Bf5 5. Be2 e6 6. Nf3 h6 7. O-O Be7 8. a3 O-O 9. c5 Nbd7 10. h3 b6 11. b4 bxc5 12. bxc5 Rb8 13. a4 Qa5 14. Qd2 Ne4 15. Nxe4 Qxd2 16. Bxd2 Bxe4 17. Ne5 Nxe5 18. dxe5 Bxc5 19. Rac1 Bb4 20. Bxb4 Rxb4 21. Rxc6 Rxa4 22. Rc7 Ra2 23. Bb5 Rb8 24. Ba6 Rxa6 25. Rfc1 Kh7 26. f3 Bd3 27. R7c3 Bc4 28. g4 Ra2 29. h4 Re2 30. f4 Rbb2 31. g5 Rg2+ 32. Kh1 Rh2+ 33. Kg1 Rbg2# {White checkmated} 0-1

14..Ne4 was a mistake. Offering my opponent chance to play 16 Nxd2. I was lucky that my opponent didn't know that.
24. Ba6 was a mistake
29. I could ave played Rbb2. Doubling up rooks in 2nd file. That was faster way to win.

Good example for french advanced variation

This is a good example for playing french advanced variation as white.

My opponent was too good for me

Qd6 33. Rxd6# {Black checkmated} 1-0

Guess next move - win two rooks

White to move and win two rooks for free.



Solution:
1. Qe6+ Kf8 2. Rf3+ Qf6 3. Qxc8+ Ke7 4. Re3+ Kf7 5. Qxh8

Good example of a game to play against newbie

My shortest ever online game

This is my shortest ever online game. Ended in just 6 moves. After the game, I realised that I could have ended the game in just 5 moves.



1. f4 e5 2. fxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 4. Nf3 Bg4 5. h3 Bxf3 6. gxf3 Qh4# {White checkmated} 0-1

5 ..Bg3+ could have ended the game earlier
