I mated my first 1968 | |
|
1. e4 |
I mated my first 1968 on Pogo, but I've gone on to win many blitz games against 18,19, & even 2000's here at GK on Blitz brain. Which goes to show that chess players skilled at Correspondence chess aren't necessarily as skilled at Blitz chess! |

|
1... c6 2. Nf3 d5 3. exd5 cxd5 4. h3 |
pre-empting the Bg4 pin, which is ok in my book since black has no developed pieces yet. |
| | |
|
4... Nc6 5. Bb5 |
Attacking while developing is almost always favorable to non-attacking development. |
| | |
|
5... Bd7 6. Nc3 e6 7. a3 |
Likewise with the Bb4 pin |
| | |
|
7... Nf6 8. d4 Bd6 9. Bg5 a6 10. Bxc6 bxc6 11. O-O h6 12. Bh4 |
White retracts the Bishop to h4 in hopes of a kingside weakening pawn push of g5 |
| | |
|
12... g5 |
success! |
| | |
|
13. Bg3 Bxg3 14. fxg3 Nh5 15. Ne2 |
Defending g3 |
| | |
|
15... f5 16. Ne5 |
Placing the Knight on an advanced post. |
| | |
|
16... O-O 17. Nf4 |
If NxN then white wins a pawn. |
| | |
|
17... Nxg3 |
Black chooses the free pawn and a simulteanous attack on the f1 rook. |
| | |
|
18. Nfg6 |
White coaxes black into a seemingly innocent exchange except white is breaking into the enemy camp. |
| | |
|
18... Nxf1 19. Qh5 |
Trap! white sacrafices the rook for the initiative & kingside attack! |
| | |
|
19... Kg7 20. Nxf8 |
|
| | |
|
20... Kxf8 |
?! under the time pressure black lost track, 20...Qxf8 21. Qg6 Kh8 22. Nf7 Qxf7 23. Qxf7 also loses black's queen, but atleast holds out longer. |
| | |
|
21. Qf7# |
## mate & the rook sacrafice was worth it. |
