A Wild 'n Wooly French game?

Game 676524

White gets everything wrong here - doubled pawns, can't castle, has to move the King to the centre of the board in the middlegame, can't stop the opposing rook taking the seventh rank ... and still checkmates Black!

Another wild french game... one of the best I ever played.

Game 656683

This game should rightly be called "A Comedy of Errors".

First White hangs his Knight on move 18, then his queen on move 26. In return, the Black Knight is hung on move 38, followed by the Queen on the next move. Black gracefully resigns a few moves later with White a rook up - but who knows what would've been hung next?

Don't get the wrong idea about my opponent - he totally thrashed me in the other game!

Hey, this is a great idea for a thread! A thread like this could go on for years and years!

I've got a few I'd like to post. Problem is I have over a thousand games in my notebook that I'll have to sift through. But I'll come up with a couple soon.

I agree. The Danish, though seldom if ever seen in master play, is really a wild ride. If you win, you win good, and if you lose you usually get smashed to bits, starting off two pawns down. Usually, after this game, there is blood all over the board. Ahh, yes, a sangunary treat, that danish! (And I'm NOT talking about breakfast food here, folks!)
Actually, this opening ought to be renamed the "Slaughterhouse Opening" (Ha)

One of my very first 1.d4 tries.A bad game,but kinda funny.I drop a piece,but then manage to confuse my oppo,with weird,desperate moves,so much that he proposes a draw 😀
To his defense,at the time,he was a young boy,playing somewhat below my strength
To my defense,I played 1.d4,what WAS I thinking? 😉

I ask myself that question every time I play d4 🙂 See eg. my first ever rated OTB tournament game on the previous page.
