Originally posted by watchyourbackrankI'm a big KID fan, but this is a game that leaves my database at move 10 with White having a better than normal plus. There are some blitz hiccups, but White was winning after 15. gxh6, and only the blunder altered the outcome.
My 2000+ opponent surprisingly had no idea of how to play the white side of a King's Indian.

Black was more inferior than normal for most of the game, and I think it would be more accurate to describe the title as "Stealing a game from a 2000+ in 4 min blitz." At blitz, a win is a win.
I think one of the attractions of chess at a rapid pace is the possibility of sudden, dramatic changes of fortune, and this is one of those games!

Originally posted by watchyourbackrankDepends on the player. The closest I've played to blitz is 30 minute games and I drop pieces regularly in them, whereas I practically never do in correspondence.
really?
in bullet that would be true.
4 min is much more like chess

My h6 move was silly. thought i had to make space for Qh4. should just have played Bg4 instead. had he played f3 instead of a5?? in the end black is still having dangerous attack (push the g-pawn - rook in h-file)

18.f3 and white was at least equal, if not better. But I would prefer 18.Rfd1 to answer 18. ... f3 with Bf1. That bishop is blocked by its own pawns so why not give it a useful task? The idea to follow on with a5 is a good one. I prefer white. And in any case, I would not conclude from this game that white has no idea about how to cope with Kings Indian.
