After Qg5:



After Rf2:



This is a neat finish to a short but interesting game which would probably become even more tactical had my opponent not taken the bait/played Rxf2.

I haven't checked with the computer, but I'm sure (I hope!) it's a sound queen sac (after move 27)

29. Rg1 fails to Bg2+.

I thought 25.Rfd1 was good with the idea of f3 and eventually e4 and d5, when in fact we obviouly both missed the simple 25...Rxf2.

26...Rxf2 was also missed by both my opponent and I. I'm not sure if these are outright winning moves, although they probably do give black some advantage.

After Nxg3 I think black is lost because of what happened in the game.

But anyway I hope you like the sac...I think I saw it as I was playing g3 (even though I somehow missed Rxf2 at that time).

What do you do after Kh8?

Also Rxf2 looks much stronger before Nxg3, this way there is no counter on the g file for white.

It's difficult for me to visualize that far ahead...

I HOPE that Rc7 Rf8 Rg7 works (idea being Nf7+ Rxf7 Rg8 mate.)

It's probably wrong though. If Qx instead of Rx then the endgame looks drawn because of opposite coloured bishops.

Also Rxf2 looks stronger, yes, but not simple for black, and maybe Rc7 and Rh1 gives some play for white. Besides, I admit I missed it during the game

Also, what should I play on move 25? f4 fails to Ng3 because it's check, and Qh4 stuff. f3 there's Ng3...

I can't see a move...

Am I completely lost lol??

That's beautiful, but that looks pretty much forced, so it's not that amazing imo

It's pretty but 20.Qh4 seems to bust 19.-Rxb4, like the comments on the webpage say (20.-Bxh4 21.Nxh4 Rxf4 22.g3 or 20.-Bc5 21.Na4 I suppose).

Don't know if it qualifies, but it is basically just an opening trap. It was in the FICS 45 45 league, though, so I'm posting it, too bad.

When I first started to play chess seriously, I was in high school. Here's a game from one of my matches at some actually long time controls (I'm playing white).

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. d3 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. O-O Bg4 7. h3 Bh5
8. Re1 Bc5 9. Nxe5 Bxd1 10. Nxc6+ Qe7 11. Nxe7 Nxe7 12. Rxd1 O-O 13. d4
Rad8 14. c3 Nf5 15. Bg5 Rd7 16. Nd2 h6 17. Ne4 Bd6 18. Be3 Nxe3 19. fxe3
Re8 20. Nxd6 Rxd6 21. Re1 g5 22. e4 a6 23. a4 Rc8 24. e5 Rg6 25. Rf1 Rg7
26. b4 Kf8 27. Rf6 c6 28. Raf1 and I stopped recording moves for some reason, but I definitely won in the end, so maybe he resigned here.

I was so scared to play 9. Nxe5 just in case it didn't really work and I wouldn't regain the queen. Interestingly, my computer is now spitting out the following line, which I never began to even consider if memory serves me correctly: 9...Bxf2+ 10. Kxf2 Qh4+ 11. g3 Qxh3 12. Nf3+ Nde7 and while I'm still winning, it's not as comfortable as the game for white.

6.-Nxb3 seems like an improvement at a glance

Technically he sacrifices his queen here. Pretty awesome.

This isn't the most awesome queen sac of all time, and arguably not a sac at all, but I was pleased with it because it was totally unexpected, and in a tournament against a good player. I had been trying to get rid of his Q and N that were bothering my K-side, with the idea of taking advantage of his weak pawns on a7 and d4 in the endgame. I'd just offered a Q trade with 1. Qe2, and he answered 1..... N(f5)h6, with the idea of 2. Qxg4 Nxg4 and the dual threats of f5 and Ne5. I didn't like the resulting position, so I decided to keep looking...




Spoiler:
2. Nf6+ with the key line being Bxf6 3. Qxe8+ Rxe8 4. Rxe8+ Kg7 5. Bf8+ Kg8 (or e8) 6. Bxh6++

The Queen sac is theory but the knight sac made it extra fun.

Not exactly the soundest of all Queen sacs, lol. Well, the actual Queen sac couldn't be sounder, because it leads to forced mate (which I saw). Let's juts say, it is an unsound Bishop sac (which I didn't see)

I've been told by better players that my style is often too passive and defensive, so I recently tried to up the aggression a bit and attack more. Obviously I still have a lot to learn.
