This first game has a bunch of exciting (risky / stupid) queen dancing. I sacrifice a bishop for two pawns and have a lot of initiative, but can't quite pull it off. We had five-minute clocks. I'm pretty happy with the play given the short time limits!
I appreciate the comments, guys - I actually didn't realize that this would be posted so publicly, and was putting this online for my friend.
Clearly the game didn't work out in my favor - I am way down in the end, and there's no way I'm winning. But the idea was interesting, and I had a lot of pressure on my opponent. RazaAdeel - you don't think I have a lot of initiative around move 12? I thought I was clearly controlling the game at that point. Maybe I am misusing "initiative?"
I'll appreciate it if you keep comments about how much better you are than me off of this page - I am not claiming to be the best (or even a good) chess player, and I prefer not to focus on comparing myself to others. Thanks!
he is up a rook and a bishop. you played terrible moves. and you were happy when the computer didnt classify some of mistakes as ... well, mistakes. there were openings. yes. i see that. and thats the only reason why the game was interesting (only a little)...
however, you remind me of myself 5 years ago.
After seeing the whole game I think I should comment but don't know what to say about the game you consider you have lots of initiative. Anyway what was the end result you didn't tell that.
