Annotated by bakerbaker (1200): Sometimes I play chess with the club at my nephew's school. Most of their players aren't good so I don't have good games with them, but one player's opening mistake let me have a very nice brilliant win. Here it is. Black can play c5, e6, Nf6, c6, d6 and many other moves with imbalanced strategies and ideas. I recommend c5, but e5 is Black's soundest reply since it simply matches White in the… |
Annotated by reubencpiplupyay (1600): Hi! Today at my school's chess club, I was challenged to this game. My opponent used the Damiano Defence, which is a very risky opening. Enjoy! Controlling the centre and giving my queen and LSB space to move. Nothing new yet. As usual. ?! The Damiano Defence. This will allow me to mess up my opponent's position a lot. I prefer Nc3. Here is the knight sacrifice. From this point onwards, Black is… |
Annotated by bakerbaker (1200): Sometimes I play chess at my nephew's school. Although their chess club isn't very good, I have fun when I play someone again, I duplicate my moves to see if they play the same game (allowing me to win the same way) or play something different. In this game, Ryan played the exact same opening, and only changed one move. Most amateur club players play e5. This is a terrible weakening move. The… |
Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): 2........ f6?! (This is the Damiano's Defence) - I call it Dodgy Damiano's! It's dodgy because it opens up the Fool's Mate Diagonal (h5-e8) and blocks in the king knight. 3. Nxe5 - I decide to play Damiano's Gambit. It is quite sound because if fe?? then I will play 4. Qh5 which will lead to mate or ruinous loss of material for black. Just play out the database and you will see!! 3.… |
Annotated by markpinkston (1611): ...f6 is almost always bad, as it weakens the light squares on the vulnerable kingside. Standard moves to protect the pawn would be ...Nc6 (most common), ...d6 (Philidor's Defense), or ...Nf6 (Petrov Defense). A vigorous response that looks to open lines for attack. Probably playing for the trap:
4. dxe5 fxe5
5. Nxe5? Qa5
winning the knight.
But, black really needs to play legitimate… |
Annotated by jendeh (1200): B00 King's Pawn Opening. The most popular opening. C20 King's Pawn Game C40 King's Knight Opening. This is the most logical second move against Black's symmetrical answer to the King's Pawn. C40 Damiano Defense. C40 Damiano Defense. C40 Damiano Defense. C40 Damiano Defense. Now black is in trouble. g6 is a blunder and will lose a rook. C40 Damiano Defense. This opening is a hell for black. A… |
Annotated by amnesia7 (1200): This is a very bad move because of the exposed kingside. Why not play nc6?
I was always taught knights before bishops but not everyone was. Pretty normal stuff Another reason why f6 is a bad move This may seem weird to you. That is because it is a very bad move at first sight but analyse deeper. Because of the weak f pawn it's a interesting move. Ohh bad move i'm going to kick … |
Annotated by jeffegg2 (1300): e4 "Best by test: Bobby fischer" probably the best response. ? this move opens the e8-h5 diagonal to the king. Very… |
Annotated by yeepwns (1200): i just love when people fall into this trap. my opening move solid response developing a knight and attacking the pawn f6?? black falls into a trap seems like a bad move right? let's see. forking the king and pawn another response would be Ke7, but your king would be in the middle of the board basically only response Qg7?? why not Qxe4 . Then when Be2 blocks, Qxg2 threatening the take the… |
Annotated by joshshadowfax (1225): This game shows an easy way for black to lose, via the damiano defense. f6? better would be nc3 or d6. Nxe5! A deadly sac offering. Black foolishly accepts. Forcing black in a corner. Black is done for. Anyone remember that age-old rule about not putting your king out in the middle of the board? Yeah... d4, a discover check and mate in a few, no matter how black plays this. Black… |

Annotated by scottw (1200): Hey, welcome to the chess lesson. Now I decide my queen chess move to QD1-h5 to check it. I have 3 move still check. The black got king stuck. Now I move a white pawn.
