The Opening Phase of a game...

One really good feeling is outplaying your opponent in the opening. This is where the foundation for any middlegame masterpiece should be laid. herein I present you with two games.

GAME 1:

my opponent playing black messed up his opening and faced with hellfire in the way of tactical complications buckled and finally resigned on move 18. job well done I thought.

GAME 2:

my good friend playing black accepted a transposition into the kings gambit accepted and me massively excited, borrowed an idea from the Evans gambit and pushed the e4 pawn on move six upon which I got properly THUMPED!!
A masterful sacrifice was unleashed on me and I cracked.



MORAL of the story:
know your openings well and execute them with reason. Chess is not a game of emotions so only borrow ideas from other openings ONLY when absolutely certain it will pay off.
Back to the drawing boards for me till next time.

CONVERTING ONE ADVANTAGE TO ANOTHER..

This was a conscious effort on my part to give back a pawn and effectively lock out my opponents bishop from the game..
hope u enjoy it..

HOW TO LOSE IN THE OPENING.

RULE 1: Surrender the initiative to your opponent ... check.
RULE 2: Ignore tactics from the beginning ... check
RULE 3: Basically leave your thinking cap at home.. check.

all the above 3 rules were strongly flaunted in this game.. and by move 6 I sure was in trouble...
