Played an 887 as an 876 and got him to
resign with plenty of time left for me to Mate. I finished with Q, N, p, p to his King.
The chat was kinda funny (this is the entirety - first 2 lines were very early on):
ScottySaltman21: your not the king
ScottySaltman21: your not bad but NO KING
ScottySaltman21: ……….
ScottySaltman21: your still BORING
ChessKing9577: Shush
ScottySaltman21: LOL
ScottySaltman21: HAHAHAHHA
ScottySaltman21: your WIT"S NOT :P
ScottySaltman21: LOL
ChessKing9577: im new to this
ScottySaltman21: you good but you have a long way to go to say your the KIng
ScottySaltman21: :P
ScottySaltman21: your more like a pawn :P
ChessKing9577: i just started playing opponents above 850
ScottySaltman21: I'm just messing with ya
ScottySaltman21: we should play again after this though
ScottySaltman21: your gonna take all my guys LOL
ChessKing9577: You are strong
ScottySaltman21: well right now your team is
ChessKing9577: And it's about to get stronger
ChessKing9577: by 9 points
He resigned after this comment. lol. I definitely took a long while between some moves so I can see why he was bored haha. I had to keep the chat tame b/c next abuse and I'm banned.
My thoughts:
6.Be3. I can play d4 here but I figure I may as well develop my Bishop first if possible.
His 7.Ng4 doesn't scare me so I ignore it and continue to develop minor pieces. I'm now 1 move away from my Knight and Bisop both threatening f7.
9.Bg5 I simply pressure his Queen some more and he moves to the square that I hoped he wouldn't. Anyway. Time to re-assess.
10. Nxe5 is kinda cool. I'm pressuring his Queen some more (punishment for him bringing it out so soon) and I don't think I care if he takes my Bishop. Because I like the position I'll be in once he does.
11. I wasn't sure whether to attack F7 with my Knight or Bishop but I didn't see what putting my Bishop there does other than put him in check (and pin my Knight to protecting it). So I hit it with the Knight, forking his Queen and Rook. His 11.Qf6 seems to be a blunder, as I'll gladly trade my Bishop and Knight for his Queen if he wants to go that route. And he is no longer protecting his Bishop so I kill it with 12.Qxg4, a nice little in-between move before having to kill his Rook.
13. Bb3 - I had anticipated him pressuring this Bishop earlier and I don't want to get it off this diagonal so I just pull it back, leaving him 2 pawn moves away from blocking again. He appears to waste another move with 13.Na6.
14. e5. Not sure if this is correct but I put even more pressure on his Queen and he basically decides he hopes for a trade.
15. My Queen is hanging now so I still can't play Nxh8. I can trade Queens but I'm not going to panic yet. I simply play 15. f3 to protect my Queen. And potentially open up the F-file for my Kingside Rook.
16. He finally plays d6, which I had my eye on. F it. Time to trade then gain material by taking his Rook.
19. Bxe6. Not sure why he wants to trade being down a major piece already but we trade Bishops.
I then get cute with my pawns for a few moves then play 25.Nxf8. Not worried about leaving my Knight hanging because I'll skewer his Rook next with my Rook anyway and keep simplifying the game.
32.Rxf6 is probably unnecessary but again I'm simplifying and still left with a decent attack piece and have a pawn I can easily Queen. From there it's just cleaning up and at the end I can probably mate him with the 2 pieces I have but I've screwed up too many easy wins so I wasn't about to lose this one especially after all the early chirping. I was going to get another Queen then make him beg for mercy. Rating up to 887. I still feel like my opponents in my range are wasting too many moves or not having much of a plan. This dude never had me threatened once and he failed to develop several of his pieces. I'm 11-2-2 in my last 15 15/10 games, going from 796 to 887.
