I played a nice offline chess game.

The game was against The Chessmaster on the NES platform. The difficulty was 60/5 & I played without takebacks. The difficulty is only level 3 of 16 which is not very hard but it's decent, probably like a 1300 ELO. I had 13 checks & 1 checkmate in 30 moves playing with the black pieces. I really prefer playing with the black pieces because you see your opponent's move 1st. I used 2 pins, I sacrificed both rooks & used a discovered attack. The final 11 moves were all checks with the final check being mate. Here are the moves...

1. b3 e5 / 2. Bb2 Nc6 / 3. e3 d5 / 4. d4 e4 / 5. c4 Bb4+ / 6. Nc3 Nf6 / 7. cxd5 Nxd5 / 8. Nge2 Bg4 / 9. Rc1 0-0 / 10. Qc2 Qg5 / 11. Qxe4 Nxc3 / 12. Nxc3 Rae8 / 13. Qd3 Bf5 / 14. Qc4 Rxe3+ (Joshua Waitzkin move = !!) / 15. fxe3 Qxe3+ / 16. Be2 Re8 / 17. d5 Bd3 / 18. Qg4 Bxe2 / 19. Qh4 Bf3+ / 20. Kf1 Bxc3 / 21. Rc2 Qd3+ / 22. Kf2 Qxc2+ / 23. Kxf3 Qe2+ / 24. Kg3 Re3+ / 25. Kf4 Re4+ / 26. Kf5 g6+ / 27. Kg5 Bd2+ / 28. Qf4 Bxf4+ / 29. Kf6 Re6+ / 30. dxe6 Qxe6#

This game was so much fun! I felt great afterwards. Thanks for viewing my post.

I tried to post it but cutting and pasting it into the game editor didn't work. Your transcript evidently has errors.

I see you made a mistake in writing down the first move. (1. b2 is not possible.)

Well, there you have it. I guessed that the first move was 1. b3.

Oh thank you so much justbefair! It was b3, so silly of me but I corrected it. You've totally made my day with your correction & making the board so it can be viewed. Seriously, I'm so happy you helped me. Thank you! 🙂
