Really fun game: Early queen sac in the KG wins!!

Thought I would share this really fun game I just had where I sacrificed my queen with the first 10 moves based on a 'gut feeling' that I could force a mate.

It is by far NOT the perfect game or anything, and I could have mated faster, but this wandering king game is very fun to watch. Enjoy!

(P.S. This was a 5 min blitz game)

Nice game. What was youropponent's rating?

It was either high 1300s or low 1400s I can't remember - I think maybe 1389 or something like that.

Nice game, but it looks like black would have been safe with 10 ...Ke7.  Oh well.  It was certainly fun to watch--and probably even more fun to play!

Man these KGA games are a great practice in attack.

10...Ke7 with no followup. Black also made many misplacements of his king to allow you to win. 

I don't know about MANY misplacements.... The main one, as indicated in the move commentary that I made, indicates the lack of Ke7 as being the main error - a big mistake, to be sure, but given that, in a 5 min game to boot, I feel that the rest was due to my play and not black's error. The other situations that followed would have all lead to similar endings which all  favour me.

Granted the Ke7, I feel that this was a good victory. And even moreso, great fun!

Even before he took your queen he was way ahead.

great sac!

Thanks jrcolonial, I'm glad that you enjoyed the game, and clearly understand that it was a fun, 5 min game where it is likely that some mistakes happen, and even more likely that someone (in this case me) may take advantage of such mistakes!

Furthermore, I'd like to respond to Kupov: what exactly do you mean that "even before he took my queen, he was ahead" ? I fail to see what you mean. His measly pawn advantage in NO WAY consititues a clear advantage in a King's Gambit Accepted opening position like the one present after move # 7 !! Perhaps YOU have failed to appreciate the subtleties of the position... For instance, had I elected to advance the d pawn (probably the best move I had, but less fun) then by taking the g pawn, the pinned knight would have put me right 'back' on top of the situation, for instance. It was a very dynamic situation, and I find your call premature.

Do you have any evidence for your claim?...

he is clearly a material player and not a positional player, the queen sac was a mistake, lucky for you black made MANY more misplacements, the mentioned Ke7, even after that, move 12 Bxc2 (even you put !? on that move) move 15 another blunder, by black, also your comments, Bd5+ would lose to Nxd5,  you played well, but black made some serious blunders, and he did not develop and you chased his king and got the mate, I think black would have been fine after Ke7 and giving the bishop back and developing. A nice game to play,

Oh, let's all just hold hands and go on a hippie protest of something or other.

Certainly not a sound game (my computer thought your sacrifice was completely incorrect even after ...Kd7). I don't like how you make ignorant comments like how 3... g5 is dubious, which it isn't. I think it's the old main line. What is wrong with holding the pawn? White gets an attack, but he's not winning or anything. In fact, black is the one with the better chances. Anyways, interesting game and I must say black played terribly because his king was definitley safe enough. But that shows you under pressure weak players screw things up when up material.

Correction

24.Bb3#, not Bc4...

 Well, actually black does get a clear advantage if we go by fritz, but it's only rated 3000. I admit, I doubt I could beat a strong player against KG since the opening is too sharp for my mediocre tactics for my playing strength. I would surely blunder. But someone like Kasparov I'm sure could get a clear advantage with black.

there is no question about it, black has the advantage, weak kingside, pawn down, 

You made an unsound queen sacrifice and your opponent blundered the game away. I'd say you won the lottery ;)

He was actually two pawns ahead, and your kingside (where your king was by the way) was totally ruined, you only regained a pawn at the expense of a queen.

it was not totally ruined - blacks threats were drying up fast. It is a common mistake for those not thoroughly familiar with the KG lines to think that if the king is displaced of if one does not have orthodox pawn strucutre, then they have a disadvantage. You have some homework to do my friend. If you look up the lines and master games, you'll see that strange positions are common in the KG lines. Your 'argument' does not hold water. Sorry, frankly, you're just wrong!...

Yes, you're right, my mistake.
