Here is a game I had today, looking back through it I find this one to be the most interesting game since I played kidms001
1.e4 e5
2.Bc4 Nf6
3.d3 Nc6
4.c3 d6
5.b4 Be6
6.Bb5 a6
7.Ba4 b5
8.Bc2 d5
9.Qf3 d4
10.Bd1 dxc3
11.Nxc3 Nxb4
12.Kf1 Nxd3
13.Be3 Nb2
14.Nge2 b4
15.Ba4+ Nxa4
16.Nxa4 Bd7 -- MATE CHANCE.
17.Nb2 Ng4
18.Bc1 Bc5
19.Nd3 Bb6
20.h3 Qh4
21.Nxb4 Nxf2
22.g3 Qxe4
23.Qxe4

.. And I won't put up any images as it takes too long, and there's a lot to talk about!
EDIT: (Okay, I lied about this part)
First of all 2.Bc4 is unusual. It's not unheard of, but it's unusual (Actual called Bishop's Opening: Berlin Defense) .. I've never played this in my life, so I will be playing off instinct here
4.c3 is odd. Only 6 master games on record have played this variation, and 4 of those games have been black wins. I would have played Nf3 to try and take it into the more familiar 4 knights variation. But hey! .. And black's d6 move would have taken me there.
5.b4, again, I don't like. Not enough major pieces developed for this much of a pawn storm yet. If white wants to keep that side free of pieces, play Nd2 and Nf6 to at least develop the knights. Black's Be6 response is premature as well IMO. If white takes, then black's pawn structure is damaged, and castling king side looks a little unhealthy.
From 6.Bb5 to 8.Bc2 was played how I would have expected. Black gains a little room by piece chasing
9.Qf3.. d4
.. 10.Bd1
.. And white ends up a pawn down!
Play Nd2 (like I've been saying from the start, and white may end up in a more positionally sound game like so:
Spoiler:Show
Now white's in a tricky position. Playing 12.Kf1 was strange. It takes away the ability to castle, and leads the king exposed in the middle of the board. There are plenty of pieces available to protect that pawn!
13... Nb2 was a weird one by black. That piece isn't in danger. Could black use that tempo to get attackers up the field? Perhaps target the knight with Bb4, then follow it up with Bc4 to trap the king? I don't really know.
14.Nge2 .. Took it's time, but it's better. He should have kept his ability to castle however. Black's b4 is a little unstable (as he finds out with check). As above, perhaps developing the bishop to that space would have been a better move?
16... Bd7, missed a gem of an opportunity. White playing how he is, if black plays Bxa2, white's BOUND to take a free bishop! Then Qd1#(This is the only reason I analyse games, to see if one of these has been missed
) .. That bishop is safe there if he decides not to take, as he can do nothing constructive that will prevent black's bishop from moving away again.
Spoiler:Show
The rest of the game is too open to bother analysing. Though 20... Qh4 is clever, especially with the bishop reinforcement targeting f2.
Then the game ends. White's position is horrible but still malleable. I would expect black to win quite easily though, considering how poor white's play was.
I hope that was constructive!
Does anybody have any other analysis requests? I don't pretend I'm any good at them, but I can spread a small light over it![]()

Right... Lets get some (relatively easy) drills going.
Find the Mate in 2!
Please post your answer in spoilers to give other members a chance to work it out.. (Plus rep (if I can give it) to the first correct answer (for members of the chess soc only))
(Join here)
EDIT: Tips for the future. This drill highlights the importance of developing major pieces for defense. If you are a regular on chess.com, you will know that the GM/IM/FM's are always saying that pawn development is a bad idea if you can't handle defending them. (The exception to the rule is the Sicilian Defense: Bowlder Attack at amateur level)Last edited by Nirgilis; 01-05-2011 at 10:25. -

I would rep you, but apparently I need to rep some more people before you.. So consider this an IOU.
And just worry about passing your exams for now.. I'll but up another one tomorrow, and then I'll try dig out one of my old games where I missed a forced mate against someone 200 points higher than me

So, you guys are on chess.com?
And since you were first right, you can claim the rep. However, you need to actually join the society to claim (as per conditions in my original post of this puzzle) .. (Well... it's actually so we can get more members)
(Original post by baby sexy)
Easy.
And same to you, you can have the rep if you join

You're right hehe my bad. Lets try this one

I'm hoping thats the right one, I probably got it wrong again though.. You now get an IOU with your name on it
(only cos I've repped you recently)
Well, if all of you are finding this too easy, I'll dig up one of my past games tomorrow, to see if you can spot a 5 move forced mate that I missed
(Original post by rbnphlp)
I think you should mention if it's white/black's turn to move (Im sure its white but still)of course.. Silly of me
