Annotated by black_cat_hamlet (1531): Game #6 against the Master Mater, Freddy, and the end result is the usual - defeat due to a lengthy mate at the end [why there is always a long mate with our games, I have no idea! :P] However, for once I was able to prevent total manslaghter in the middlegame stages and make it to the endgame (or almost an endgame - a queen and minor piece remained on both sides) Unfortunately, it was then that… |
Annotated by oodle3 (1200): This is a game I played against rio1962 - he was extremely good until he faced an unstoppable (?) mate. Enjoy. Normal. [?!] Here, it starts to get intriguing - I have reviewed rio1962's playing style and noticed that somehow he likes to develop his queen early. I defend the e5 pawn. [!?] Bc4- the most obvious, threatening Scholar's mate. Another way was Nh6 or d5, but this seemed better. Having … |
Annotated by wildpops1000 (1314): This gets wild in a hurry. I usually leave my seatbelt unfastened for at least a half dozen moves This gets wild in a hurry. I usually don't fasten my seat belt till at least a half dozen moves I have no clue how to open as black. This seems safe enough. Someday I'm gonna have to learn some good opening moves What's that all about? This guy looks serious Better get serious also At this stage I… |
Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): 2. Qh5 (the so-called Patzer's Opening). If 2....... g6?? then black loses a rook to 3. Qxe5 so black must either defend the e pawn by 2. ........ Nc6 or 2..... d6. The former is preferable as it develops a piece. 3. Bc4 - transposes into the Bishop's Opening and threatens Old Scollie's Mate - a pet name of mine for Scholar's Mate. Black can play either Qe7 or Qf6 or g6. I choose g6… |
Annotated by atomicpc (1166): Kings pawn. Looks like scholars mate to me. Kind of ironic that he played this move as I had just watched a video about how to stop scholars mate. Instead of attacking his queen with my g pawn I protect my e pawn. g6 would allow his queen to take my e5 pawn with check and forking my rook on h8. Part of the scholars mate set up. Allows him to back up his queen. 4. Qxf7# Now attack the queen.… |
Annotated by mathematics2 (1200): another controversial match where i was losing and came back and won. white did an unusual move and i found this interesting blocked Qxe4 scholars mate threat blocked he tried again blocked and developed my knight i played defensively bad move for me i was probably asleep when i did this move he was moving my pieces back he was loosening his king side and hasn't developed his… |
Annotated by lord_shiva (1898): King's Pawn, Patzer opening. This is a TERRIBLE defense against the Patzer, as QxPe5+ gives white Rh8.
White should now defend Pe4. That isn't much of a defense. White must watch out for QxBe2#. We don't want this game to end too quickly. Pd3 will protect the bishop at Pe2, while letting white's black bishop access to the field. Wrong pawn. If black moves Bb7, white's rook is at… |
Annotated by apastpawn (1200): The beginners trap, hoping for 1.....g6 and then 2.Qxe5ch and the rook falls next.
Believe GM Anand played this in a not to recent game. The best reply. Lets aim at f7 and see if things develope. No, No, No, this is not the way to defend f7. Best is Qe7 or g6 is fine now as the e5 pawn is guarded by the c6 Knight. A knight on the brim is grim. Preparing to remove the guard of f7. NO,… |
Annotated by chess05dog (1200): i thought i would try this so here it goes. not worried about the queen didnt exactly know why he did this the chase begins creates some space for the rook why he dosnt save the queen? ill never know thank you very much and here he resigns. this game could have gone on for a little bit longer but up the queen gone, i have a very big … |
Annotated by noes (1200): a very aggressive opening, I was wondering what the plan was beat agression with agression ;) As I mentioned him really liking my pawns.. my opponent pointed out he also quite liked horses. Luckily enough, I always enjoy those rooks! the swap.. the almighty swap!! As of this point, I started to almost dislike the game, since my chances are failing. apparently, no swaps no… |
Annotated by stonebergftw (1296): He opens Kings Pawn I decide to match After he prematurely developed his Queen, I take a standard Indian Defense This was the move where I felt I had gained the upper hand. His queen is now sufficiently trapped for the time being. Since he spent no time developing other pieces, now I just have to lean a bit. I opt to trap his Queen in a single space and plan to take 5… |
Annotated by black_cat_hamlet (1531): This game features one of my most successful (and definitely the most stylish) sacrifices I've ever had - White paid dearly for his lack of development in the opening and his bad castling move
King's Pawn opening
?! Already a very unusual move, though if Black does not know what he's doing, this move could be catastrophic (the best example is 2...g6?? 3.Qxe5!)
! The best move to reply to this … |

Annotated by belacqua17 (1200): a beginners opening mostly that leads to many developing attacks for black saves the pawn, note for inexperienced players, g6 loses the rook to Qxe5 threatening checkmate on f7 now the pawn push works because the e5 pawn is protected developing, pressuring e4 an attempt to press g5, winning the knight because it is pinned to checkmate threatens the queen and Nxc2 , winning the rook defensive … |
Annotated by eliscu (1349): This is a classic beatdown game that i had the pleasure of playing. a usual start off, this helps me into a more comfortable, familliar game. a fun move, somtimes gets me good position, or if there not paying attension the 4 move. he wasnt fooled by this, but i have more up my sleeve, i go in for the kill. most obviously he has seen this before, i quickly retreat, but keep my position focused… |
