Sunday Gaming: Win against a 1300
I think I'll post a game every Sunday evening.
I am happy with this game not because I played brilliantly (I did not), but because it's my first win against a 1300+ player. Such wins are important for building confidence, I think. Also, he tried an opening I've never seen so I'm happy I was able to hold on and win it.
Thank goodness people don't consistently play Real Chess against me!

Nice, very nice.
Nice mate. The name of his opening was "irregular":)
My experience is that below 1500 the opening knowledge of the majority is non existent.
BDK,
Nice game
After 3...f6 4. Nxe5 fxe5 5.Qh5+ g6 6.Qxe5+ and his rook is dead or 5.Qh5+ Kd7 6 Qxe5 and his King is gasping after air.LOL!
Be aware that after the capture of the rook he might have a counter-attack.
I thought your play was not as strong as in the previous game you posted.
After black's f6, Nxe5 is a good sac.
As for your pawn fork, it looks like you simply used the wrong pawn.
Keep posting games!
BTW, are you using a computer engine to analyze your games? If not, do it! :)
Patrick: I have just recently started to run Fritz over my games and analyze the positions where the evaluation function jumps against me, posting the positions in a notebook with a description of my mistake.
Yes, you are right that it was the wrong pawn. I was worried about his kingside pawn majority destroying me, so I opened myself up to mate.
Definitely not a particularly strong game, more of a milestone.
In the words of Blue Devil himself; Sweet ;-)
Congrats, BDK!
4. Nxe5 looks good, then 4. ... d5 would be a better option for black to try and complicate the position. However white would still have the advantage after 4. Nxe5 d5 5. Qh5+ g6 6. Nxg6 pxN (6. ... pxp NxR+)
7. QxR pxB 8. QxR ...
This seemed like an open game to me so I would have intuitively played it as such. What I am trying to say is that maybe you did not need to play b3 and perhaps there were other options.
As usual tactics decide the game, a nice mate to finish.
