This recently happened in my game. The computer called it the Maddigan gambit. 1) d4 Nf6 2)Nc3 e5

this opening is bad because of some reason if you have a doubt then go on youtube and put g j chess d4 e5 ? or put g j click gj and you get your answers .

It's the same idea as the Budapest Gambit, except white has played NC3 and not c4. And that's why it doesn't work. White is basically up a tempo. The proper Budapest Gambit is also considered a bit dubious anyway.

then see on youtube gj chess d4 e5?

wow I don't understand This game...

why in the heck would black freely sac his queen with 12... Qb7, and when black did this - why wouldn't white immediately take the queen....the rook was still stuck.  why wouldn't white play 13. Bxb7 and 14. Bxa8. winning a rook and a queen for a bishop?

 the obvious looking move to 12. Bxd5 is Nc6.  connecting the rooks and stopping the diagonal.

It is a very positional game, and it was played properly. Please, analyse it, with solid statements before giving adjectives.

Thanks.

Are you joking? The move 13. Bxb7 wins on spot. White wins a queen and a rook for a bishop. Both Black and White played rather terribly, considering the fact that they're both titled players. What "logical statements" are you looking for?

I'm fully convinced that the game you posted is fake. No titled player would ever play like that. Period.

The above game can be found in both the chess.com and ChessBase databases. It's probably either a bizzare series of transcription errors or the players deciding to screw with everyone.

saw i was already correct

shivank2005

oh it was a blitz championship

shivank2005

but it does not mean that that is a good move actully it is a blunder .Surprised

shivank2005

ok guys if you know it is a blunder why are you focusing on this topic

TheBlunderfulPlayer

By "fake", I meant it was fixed. As I said, NO titled player would ever play like that, even in blitz.

shivank2005

yeah it is from chess tempo but tell me one thing why not bxb7 and it was blitz ok blitz but qb7 is a correct move tell so he is right

shivank2005

correct

why didnt the bishop takes the Queen after the Qc6, its right in front of the Bishop... i understand maybe he didnt look at Qb7 but Qc6 is right in front of that Bishop, he should have took the Queen

shivank2005

yeah
