Playing against an abusive player

I met an abusive player online. He was sending me some intimidating messages privately. I was playing white against Sicilian.

Anyway I am happy that I had him resign. This is the game by the way.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Qb6 5. Nf3 Bc5 6. Qd2 Nf6 7. Nc3 Ng4 8.Nd1 Nc6 9. Bd3 Qc7 10. g3 Bb4 11. c3 Bd6 12. O-O h5 13. Qg5 Be7 14. Qxg7 Rf8 15. Ng5 Nf6 16. Bf4 e5 17. Be3 d6 18. Bc4 Nd8 19. Bb5+ Bd7 20. Nh7 Rg8 21.Nxf6+ {Black resigns} 1-0



He was on all out offence at the very go. I was able to hold off his attack and launch my own towards the end of the game. He realised he wouldn't be able to hold.

A good example of retaining initiative

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 a6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 e6 5. Nc3 Qc7 6. Be2 Nf6 7. O-O Bb4 8. Qd3 Nc6 9. Nxc6 dxc6 10. Bf3 O-O 11. Bd2 Rd8 12. Qe2 e5 13. h3 b5 14. Nxb5 cxb5 15. Bxb4 Be6 16. a3 Bc4 17. Qe1 Qc6 18. Qc3 Rac8 19. Rfd1 a5 20. Rxd8+ Rxd8 21. Bxa5 Rd4 22. b3 Nxe4 23. Bxe4 Rxe4 24. bxc4 bxc4 25. Rd1 g6 26. Rd8+ Kg7 27. Qb4 Re2 28. Qf8+ {Black resigns} 1-0



15 --> ..Be6. I didn't expect the following move ..Bc4 that. Fortunately I escaped.
17 --> ..Qc6 .. it was a mistake. He left the queen hanging.
19 --> ..a5. I could have done Bxa5 first. But that would have made me loose the initiative and let Bishop c4 escape.

Gave away rook playing sicilian

1. e4 c5 2. c3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Ne5 4. d4 cxd4 5. cxd4 Ng6 6. e5 a6 7. Bc4 b5 8. Bd5 d6 9. Bxa8 dxe5 10. dxe5 Qxd1+ 11. Kxd1 Nxe5 12. Bf4 Ng6 13. Bg3 e6 14. Nf3 Nf6 15. Nbd2 Be7 16. Rc1 O-O 17. Be4 Nxe4 18. Nxe4 Bb7 19. Nc3 Rd8+ 20. Kc2 Rc8 21. Kb1 Bf6 22. Ne2 Be4+ 23. Ka1 Rd8 24. Rhd1 Re8 25. Nc3 Bb7 26. Rd7 Bc6 27. Rd6 Bb7 28. Rcd1 Ne7 29. Rd8 Rf8 30. Rxf8+ Kxf8 31. Rd8# {Black checkmated} 1-0

Two major blunders.

9. Bxa8 I do not know why I didn't look at it. Careless perhaps
29. Instead of Rd8 I could have gone for Kf8. I could have prolonged the game.

Left the b2 pawn unprotected in a sicilian

I was playing white against sicilian.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. Be2 g6 7. O-O Bg7 8. Nxc6 bxc6 9. f4 Qc7 10. f5 O-O 11. fxg6 hxg6 12. Bf4 Qb6+ 13. Kh1 Qxb2 14. Qd2 Nh5 15. Rfb1 Qxc3 16. Qxc3 Bxc3 17. Bd2 Bxd2 18. Rd1 Bc3 19. Rab1 Nf4 20. Bc4 Be6 21. Bxe6 Nxe6 22. Rb3 Be5 23. h3 Nc5 24. Rbb1 Rab8 25. Rxb8 Rxb8 26. g4 Nxe4 27. Kg2 Rb2 28. Re1 Rxc2+ 29. Kf3 Ng5+ 30. Ke3 Nxh3 31. Kd3 Rc3+ 32. Ke4 Ng5# {White checkmated} 0-1

12 Bf4 was the place I commited the mistake. My opponent made me pay for it.
I could have got away with just a pawn had I done 13 Bd2 instead of 13 Qd2
15 Rfb1 was another mistake. I could have gone for 15 e5

Left the king and queen in line for bishop to attack

Lost against sicilian playing white.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 g6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Bg7 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Nf3 d6 7. Be2 e6 8. O-O Nge7 9. Be3 O-O 10. Nd4 Nxd4 11. Bxd4 e5 12. Be3 b6 13. Qe1 Bb7 14. Rd1 Rb8 15. f3 a6 16. a4 f5 17. exf5 Nxf5 18.

Capitalised on black's mistakes

At one point I thought I lost the game.

But my opponent made serious blunders letting me in back into the game.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 6. Nf3 a6 7. Be2 Be7 8. O-O O-O 9. Re1 Nbd7 10. Be3 b5 11. a3 Bb7 12. Bd3 Nc5 13. b4 Ncxe4 14. Nxe4 Nxe4 15. Bb6 Nxf2 16. Bxd8 Nxd1 17. Raxd1 Rfxd8 18. Be4 d5 19. Bf5 e4 20. Nd4 Rac8 21. Bxc8 Bxc8 22. Nc6 Bg4 23. Nxd8 Bxd1 24. Rxd1 Bxd8 25. Rxd5 Be7 26. Re5 a5 27. Rxe7 f5 28. bxa5 {black resigns} 1-0



12 --> ..Nc3 was a nice move by him.
20 --> ..Rac8 is where is blunder starts.
