Hmm... nice games. But that opening... doesn't it just give them the caro with an extra tempo?? 1. e4 e5 2. Bb5 c6 3. Ba4 d5! and if 4. exd5 exd5 they have a strong pawn center and both good squares are still available for their knights... black is better?

White just continues with their developement rather than take the pawn, send over a game if you want to try it out.

Hope to see more contribution in the topic - there are surely a lot of nice games played here.
Ah ... the Samisch. One of my favourites as well:

Actually I have more experience on the black side of the Saemisch (I mostly start with 1.e4, but getting tired of facing Sicilian at timesπŸ™‚). And I am not sure if Saemisch is the best way to counter KID - I think that timely c5 gives black good game. But it is lively line, no doubts - I already saw your game sometime ago, it definitely belongs here. Just to not let this thread sink - I'm out of good games:-)

Game 540400

Don't know if this qualifies as Wild 'n Woolly, but I had my heart in my mouth for most of the game. Classic French catenaccio (Yes, yes - I know; it's Italian football) - White throws everything but the kitchen sink at Black.

Game 591485
This one isn't a good game like most of the ones in this thread, but I think it's pretty wooly. I blundered and next move threw away a knight because I was mad at myself, ended up winning so I'll call it a "strategic sacrifice" Ya that's it, it was a sac ...πŸ™„

KIIIINNNGGGG HUNTTT! πŸ™‚

Game 626405

Note the totally gratutious queen sac at the end. Because, really, why sac a pawn and mate with a queen when you can sac a queen and mate with a pawn?

This is the game where I calculated, on move 14, an insane number of sneaky and subtle mating lines full of quiet moves and brilliant defenses that didn't work, over hours and hours of analysis, before stumbling on the blindingly obvious and completely forced mate with all checks that I ended up using. (See the "you know you're insane when" thread)

Game 610537

Just finished this one-- a Wilkes-Barre game, and probably the most action-packed win I've gotten on this site. (I probably have had some equally action-packed losses that have been consigned to oblivion.)

It seemed like there was a tactic on almost every move here. I blundered badly on move 24 but managed to recover.
