odd... but all of these games had MAJOR blunders in them...none of them had any brilliance to them...just simple punishment of chess ignorance
I got an embarissing one from a county championship at school, from this past monday (Jan 30 '06), me as black😳,
1:e4--e5
2:d4--exd4
3:c3--d6 (new idea)
4:Bc4--Nf6
5:Nf3--Bg4
6:Qb2--Bxf3
7:Bxf7+--Kd7
8:gxf3--Qe7
9:cxd4--Kc6
10:Bd2--Na6
11:Qa4+--Kb6
12:Ba5++
Give me a break, he's 1782, im 1109...i paniked and blundered....
Guess what, here's another one.Game 1778817
And I think it's pretty decent quality too for under 20 moves.
