Chimp 2 Champ

Sort:
Illbtu

Yes! You will think that the process above took long long long long time. From a chimp to a champ. Well the last one could be a Bobby Fischer or Magnus.

In chess, or rather my chess, sometimes it seams that I am playing a chimp and suddenly after a few moves, or let's say idiotic blunders of mine, I turn a jumping, chumpy chimp into a chili champy champ!

This is about the evolution. So let's keep it on a scientific level not personal 1.

This is:

case 1
Turning point: Move 19. Qa4

Wow! Black's queen traveled from one side of the board to the other! Also - I believe the beginning of the game where you sacrificed the f2 pawn is theory, is it not? For a second there, I thought that was the end of the game haha.

Illbtu

This is all theory. f2 sac is to lure the queen inside and try to trap it. The opponent did really terrible. I have health/medication issues that makes me gas out at the of games where I blunder big big leads. Missed-wins are such understatement. I get really depressed when this cr*p happens. However, more of this will follow, and when I turn Chimps to champs, the next case will be here. wink

By the way it is called "Vienna Copycat Variation". Here I played the "Bishop Opening" line that transposes into that. Judging by the time usage of the champ-2-B, he was oblivion to the theory and he played it by the ear so to say. That is why he was in such a terrible doodoo. He was lost like a fart in the wind. Suddenly I had a blackout and I made a fool out of myself and a totally winning position.

This "1" was almost made "champ" however he slipped. What crackpot would not take f2 with that monster of a (Dr. Octopus) knight as his king is wrapped in like a Christmas-gift? meh 
Case 2 
Turning point: Move 19. c4
Chessisfunforme

for the OP, you were winning until b3.

Chessisfunforme

also 19. b4 is possible

Chessisfunforme

for case 2, you were probably winning the whole game, except for move 40. On move 41, white could play Rf6+ and you may have lost.

This chimp had a draw with me and challenged me for the game below. He played my favorite-line in Benko, not taking the gambit but playing b3. I said to myself: "Thanks heavens!" And then I cr*ped all over the board. sad.png The blunders are astronomic. He was almost a champ however... He was and still is a ....grin 
Case 3 
Illbtu

However something wonderful just happened because of the game above: "Paolo-Luigi's agent, who also is a famous actor, (not the agent... silly ) contacted me to star opposite Paolo in a new "Dumb Dumber" movie. We have to replay the scene of the game above in the film. grin

Illbtu
A word of encouragement to all the "chimps" out there: "If you type enough for sometime, in the end you will manage to make a Shakespeareian masterpiece!" AND... THAT is science! grin 
Case 4
 
Illbtu
This dude told me that, although 29, he is still "pristine" in some regards. I asked him: "Hey what's wrong?" He said he has broken glasses on glued in the middle, with zits so huge they look like volcanos with their own echo-system. He said they look like galaxies, he said he went to his astrologist which saw lot's of star-formations on his cheeks and chin. However he blamed his bad luck with ladies on the war. He thinks the war has emasculating effect on the youth. I said: "What?!" He said: "I can't mate!" I said " What?!!" He broke in tears and with a shaking voice said: "I SIMPLY can NOT MATE!!" cry
 And well, I kind-a believed him.
Case 5
Illbtu
He was facing a losing position so he did not move his pieces although had more than 7 min on the clock. I had to be punished for not blundering in this game. What is wrong with... meh

Another chimpion is crowned grin 
Illbtu
This chimpion has propaganda values! For the cause! wink
"Mate in 2"grin
Illbtu

To crown the king of the primates you just have to play like a chimp for a few moves and suddenly you are facing a royalty. So did I ... & YES so did I! Wuhahaaaaa evil ... I mean Ahaaohhooho... cry

Illbtu

Here my opponent made a fatal mistake and blundered a bishop, suddenly I went from chimp to champ in quick succession. I scored 98% in a bullet game!!

Almost perfect game for a blunderer?! Well chimp-2-champ moment 4 sure! wink

When the brain struggles Caesar shows up...
