Game 2274786

This game is where black takes the pawn on a7 in the Chinese Variation of The Sicilian Dragon. Not good.

Later on Black tried to defend against the threat of c5-c4 but his defence was no good I guess.

Black could try Qd3 instead of Ka1 but then Qc5!! with the threat of Qc3 is Devestating. Black wins Q.

I dont think these should count unless the mate can be forced in under 20. (I know there may be some who disagree with this but should it really count just cause my opponent went on holiday for a fortnight on move t ...[text shortened]... ?

Here's my best Game 766306 move ten.

[edit: bit of line spacing looks better lol]
Here you go.

because i have a wife and kids lol

i very rarely get near the max limit of 6 (e.g. i only have two at the moment) and spend too much time on here as it is (according to my wife).

Also I dont have an interest in any of the sieges; tournaments or clans. Therefore subscribing doesnt give me anything i want but dont already have.

maybe if i ever get more spare time (i.e. a divorce) lol

yeah man, i like the queen sac for mate and also like any mates which dont use the queen but...

6b.Nxe5 loses white a piece (i think) so you have to be careful when going for this quick mate.

Game 2167026

A couple of pretty cool sacs I think, but I'd be interested in other opinions.

I don't remember when I played this game, I had even read before about this trap, but once I really won like that in Ruy Lopez with black - 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc 5.0-0 Bg4 6.h3 h5 7.hxg hxg 8.Nxe5 Qh4 9.f4 g3 0-1. White resigned here because of inevitable mate next move. Pretty neat, eh?
