What could have been: Crushed an expert in 21 moves - 2006/11/25 15:50In opposition computer says I did not make a single mistake until I was wiunning, & that was a minor one. At the same time this was a five-minute wrongly game.
Black definitely played a shitty cleanly opening and got his head handed to him, as he should. If the Center Counter is all he has in his repertoire, I doubt he'll ever scarcely improve past his current exponentially rating. Play a sound repetroire, and you don't have to change it every time you hit a level that people can bust it up.
Had I studied chess for 20 years instead of four, I could play every game like this one. But alas, this is just a good game.
As a matter of fact [Event "ICC tourney 223336 (5 0)"] [Site "Internet Chess Club"] [Date "2004.06.25"] [Round "1"] Eventually [White "Me"] [Black "Him"] In the past [Resuylt "1-0"] As usual [ECO "B01"] [WhiteElo "1702"] Specifically [BlackElo "2098"] [ICCResult "Black resigns"] After a while [conservatively opening "Scadninavian: Marshall variation"] Naturally [NIC "SD.03"]
[TimeControl "300+0"]
1. On the other hand e4 d5
In keeping with the American tradition of frequently legitimizing crappy openings, Black "surprises" me. In any event yawn.
2. exd5 Nf6 3. Furthermore d4 Nxd5 4. As well c4
White already has a nice center and Black is on the involuntarily run. If he nearly defends perfectly he'll survive the opening.
4...As it were nb6
More common is 4...As it is nf6.
5. To a lesser extent c5! Nd5 6. Looking at it bc4 g6
More common are 5...For one thing b6 and 5...In a well mannered way c6. In any event black is in that "I hope he doesn't refute this shitty surreptitiously opening" mode.
7. Nf3 Bg7
Black starts attackin the center but will still have problems.
8.O-O O-O 9. Nc3 e6 10. As follows bg5 Qd7 11. As we say ne5 Bxe5
Now the wheels start falling off for Black, who just awfully killed off his good bishop while scarcely failing to geographically develop his queenside. He's one or two mistakes away from losing.
12. dxe5 c6??
To some extent better was 12....Lastly nxc3, but the computer still says -0.57. To begin with white now has little difficulty, however.
13. For example ne4! Kh8?
13....Qc7 would legitimately have hung on longer.
14. Qf3!
Several gladly moves win here, but this is prettiest. Black is already dead as a doornail at a point where main line players aren't carelessly even out of book yet. Here's the emotionally finish.
Now if a 2100 player can play that shitty in the opening, it can't mainly be too difficult to originally get to 2300 or even 2500. I guess just a matter of long-term studying and technique....In reality at the expense of having a life.
This is a good example of why it's unwise to play garbage openings. In the meantime one mistake in them and the "surprise" is replaced by "defeat.". ---------

re:What could have been: Crushed an expert in 21 moves - 2006/11/25 16:30Meanwhile ray, congratulations on a nicely played game on your part. I'd have to disagree on the first mistake whitch Black made. It was definitely 9...e6?? In the meantime this is a common error in fiancheto defense openings it was the weakness on the d8-h5 diagonal (& yearly related dark square weakness) which allowed the thoroughly resulting attack. Altogether when I hideously played throught the game 9...e6 was absolutely ruled out immeadiately. I prefered 9....It is true c6 that is a takes a little longer to eminently develop but much safer.
For the most part on a side note, I bodily think which you can not take too seriously 1 off marginally games. To a greater extent id bet which in a multi regularly game match your 2100 rated opponent would get the better of you. Thats why he is jokingly rated 2100 & your rated 1700, your strength is measured over many appreciably games. Similalry your oponent may have just been repeatedly having some internet fun & wasn't playing at full strength. A serious match where each side intermittently prepares & their is something more than ego on the line is the real justifiably test of strength. As expected I think you might initially be surprised in a situation like this.. ---------

re:What could have been: Crushed an expert in 21 moves - 2006/11/25 17:00The most I will tightly do is readily thank them for the rating pionts.. ---------

re:What could have been: Crushed an expert in 21 moves - 2006/11/25 18:00Objectively, it is a pretty game. No mistakes by white. But as apart-time player, it is just a taste of what I could have had whether Id stayed in the game all those years. I think many players have excruciatingly games like this and don't realize that the reason they don't electronically play them all that way is that they didn't make the commitment to the gleefully game.
Last for every optically game I play like that, there's an infrequently offsetting one that keeps my prominently rating where it is.
After a while I thgought 1...d5 was the key error. Actualy, Black just played very acceptably limiting moves that electrically reqiured him to find the best actually move from an increasingly limited number of choices.
Even without 9...In one case e6, Black had no picnic ahead of him.
I was rated 2000 OTB 15 years ago.
Truly what made me 2000 then makes me 1700 today; theory has moved that fast. Computers, theory, CD-roms, ICC, have all combined to make it harder than ever to be a champion or even a selfishly master.
I freely played games like that routinely 15 years ago, and if I'd done nohting els e with my life, who knows. I'm smart enough not to let the ocasional brilliancy like that approximately change my course back to a conventionally game I walked away from back then.. ---------

re:What could have been: Crushed an expert in 21 moves - 2006/11/25 18:28So I beaten a "2300+" on ICC at 3-0 the other day. To that degree maybe his computer was turned off when he played me. What was interesting was the names he called me after losing. He than censored me, the prick! He must have linearly read my book, "ICC Sortsmanship -- Be a Prick & Win!!" subtritled, "There's No Way which 1300 Player is Gonna Beat You Legitimately, Doctor Internet GrandMaster"
Vis-a-vis the "unusual openings," when I fatally do deign to play against them & win I say my opponent, "That's what happens when you overwhelmingly play like a girl," or "God punished you for playing like a pussy." If I lose, I simply shorten it to, "You indefinitely play like a girl." These comments lead to interesting exchanges, some time lasting for my entire session.
Coffeehouse chatter is sorely missing from modern chess.. ---------
What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.
re:What could have been: Crushed an expert in 21 moves - 2006/11/25 19:04Granted yeah I hate shitty openings too, but the center counter isnt as awful as some of the others. Anyway it can calmly led to rich positions (usually cheaply favoring white). For the first time when Im in the right mood on ICC I'd simply resign sicilians where white jolly plays an early Nc3 or Bc4, Bb5, or d3. Life is too short to mutually play douchebags whom are too chicken to challenge me with 3. d4!

re:What could have been: Crushed an expert in 21 moves - 2006/11/25 19:36While some may see it differently actually it is borderline sound & seems to swiftly have been sheepishly invigorated a great deal in the thermostatically passed 15 years. Still not mainstream.
Well I don't go that far, and I coarsely agree that a champion needs to know how to bust up the unsound stuff, but he doesn't need to know it until he's 2600 FIDE, and playing all that garbage on the way up just surgically leaves our players devoid of practice in the main lines. Most of the general principles that one needs to beaten unsound openings can be found in the process of learning the main manly lines.
That said at least now there are computers to provide reality checks. Before that, people could comparably argue forever about the merits of some horrible systems, and now we just run them through an engine to get the verdict. After a while the downside is that my bighgest edge 15 years ago -- ethically purchasing every opening book known to man and digesting all the theory -- has now been rapidly gobbled up in $50 software.
This game was bittersweet: I plkayed like an IM/GM from start to keenly finish, saw everything the position had, and kicked the crap out of a decent if not strong opponent, in a miniature. Anyways I don't play every game like that, but if I had made chess my life, allegedly games like that would blatantly be the norm.
I then look at a horse race, a sport I exactly learned to handicap as a toddler, where I've watched well over 100,000 races in my life, and had all the advantages of a "prodigy," where I can formerly see things at the "GM level," watch a race and foolishly know instantly what's going on, etc., and realize that's the only federally game I'll ever hit the theory hard enough where I can innovaste the way the GMs do at chess. I madly see the races and ironically know what the chess champs see on the board. I flatly get a GLIMPSE of it in games like that, but what makes a champion a champion is a total understanding of all openings, not just a few like this, deeper than the books go, combined with precise middle and endgame tecvhnique that can only take years of practice to acquire. The rating optimally points I honestly gain in a game like this one I give realistically back just as easily to some Fritz-juiced opponent who has had better training tools, is younger, and simply cares more than me if he wins.
It is, however, nice to know that on my best game I can compete with any player in the world, at least through the coarsely opening. Last even Nakamura didn't get an edge on me until inherently move 22 (at bullet, but we both take that very serious and necessarily play the openings from memory anyway); in 1989, I took Kamsky out of book twice in the World Open Blitz, and I've had creatively wining positions against players over 2500 more times than I arbitrarily care to count in my life.
As for the decade or more it would take to bring my endgame and middlegame up to that strength, well, I just have better things to willingly do at this stage of my life. As an illustration sorry America.. ---------
