How about a non-sub anti-brilliancy? Like yours truly missing the oldest free queen (and more) in the book, on move 10... Game 5419094 Of course, the moment I clicked "submit move" I started cursing...

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThere is a difference between just an error and moving your piece into a pawn fork... I'm just being tough on you because you should expect to punish your opponents like that when they make tactical blunders. You had the game won after he walked into a pawn fork... Try winning a game where your opponent moves a pawn in front of his king at the wrong time and you have to have the patience and the vision to pull off a brilliancy ten moves later.

Edit: inferring that this game is on a level of artistic beauty comparable to the paintings of Van Gogh is a serious lapse in judgement.

Robbie's exploitation of the bad 4th. move allowing the courageous
d-pawn to sac itself on f7 so the Queen can enter the fray with
a check and pick up the loose Knight was enlightening and instructive.
The symphony was complete when the Knight did a dance of
death around the hapless Black King.
Van Gogh's paintings pale by comparison.
Bravo McRobbie. Scotland's McMorphy.
