Not bad; i find it quite easy to spot sacrifices and winning chances like that in blitz, i tend to go gung-ho and see what happens. Maybe if i played rated blitz games though i would be more cautious...

I guess the high rated player was drunk. :-) Nice finish though.

When not seeing is believing — This week Toronto is hosting the 2011 Canadian Open Chess Championship, and although I was not able to participate in the tournament, I had the unique good fortune to be there for the weekend to conduct a blindfold simultaneous exhibition. This is not the first time I have played multiple games of chess while blindfolded, but this one upped the ante. My usual blindfold limit is five boards simultaneously, and I've played with this set up a number of times. But this time I was pitted against six people, a feat I have only accomplished once - and that was more than 25 years ago. Adding to the challenge was the strength of the chess players. Normally, I recommend my opposition to be ...

You really did play a nice game all the way thru, there. BL goes against a general principle for d-pawn openings (on his move 5....Nc6 ) which basically says, "Thou shall not block in your c-pawn with a Knight". And you never allowed him to recover from the
time and dis-coordination factors following that.
For anyone wondering why BL did not play 7...Ne4 to play against the pin on c3; I imagine it was because in doing so WT could easily make him trade off that Knight (EG 8.Bd2 or the gambit 8.o-o!?) which was already the only piece he had to act as defender of his King side. Indeed the position resulting after elimination of that knight is a classic attacking position for WT, with sacrifice potential as well, if BL were to o-o into it. [If you haven't seen it before or very similar, then this definitely is one to learn.]
and the thought of becoming K-stranded in the center must have occurred to him. The trouble is tho, 7...Bxc3 is not much better. BL is still short of effective K-side defenders.
I liked the way you did not allow him to divert you from the attack when he offered you a pawn on e4 to BxNe4/ fxBe4 Qxe4, but instead made the en passant capture, saving the tempo you needed to play Ba3 next. [Another classic attack position!] I think that move locked in the win; and the Cross-X Mate with Bishops aor Q was nicely done. We don't get to see many of those in actual play ...
Congratulations on your miniature~!

From the archive, 12 July 1972: Fischer's late opening gambit in Reykjavik — Originally published in the Guardian on 12 July 1972. Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer finally made it to the world championship chessboard tonight and there was an almost palpable sense of relief throughout the auditorium at the sports stadium here, that chess had at last taken over from the ballyhoo. Yet Fischer was characteristically late. Promptly at 5pm Spassky walked on to the stage accompanied by the West German referee Herr Lothar Schmid, who had raced back to Iceland from his son's car crash in West Germany. Spassky immediately played his opening pawn to Queen four, and the match was underway. Spassky sat for a while and then walked around the board. Five minutes later ...

I think black anticipated the en passant move as a way to save the knight without having to make it completely un-worthwhile. He just neglected to see how powerful Ba3 really was.
Good job on seeing that mate, since it's not really an intuitive move to do.

On Chess: Frequent walks gave Fischer's brain a boost — Many stories concern Bobby Fischer's fondness for walking. On three or four occasions during the 1960s, I met him by chance as he perambulated around New York. He was always friendly and eager to talk. Late-night walks often took him to chess hangouts such as the Chess and Checker Club of New York, where he would frequently take on a player of master strength, offering up to 15-1 odds to his opponent and the gathering kibitzers. He seemed to tremendously enjoy the fun and hilarity provoked by the impromptu exhibitions. A champion boxer once described to me the difficulty of keeping up with Fischer's walking tours. There seems to have been a method to his locomotion. Rae Pica, author of ...
