  • One time I played against this one vato who tried the Elephant Gambit on me (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d5), we exchanged pawns (3. Nxe5 dxe4), I forked his queen and rook (4. Nxf7), he moved his king (4...Kxf7), then I kept checking him (5. Bc4+ Ke8 6. Qh5+ Kd7 7. Qf5+ Kc6 8. Qxe4+), he ran away but this time to the wrong square (8...Kd7) so then I was like what's up essay and I checkmated him (9. Qe6#)

  • @ChessCholo Well done!

  • A very unusual opening. Queen to g5 was a brave move, but white's Qh5 was even better. This game is resembling Anderssen's Immortal vs. Kieseritzky. I love these kind of quick attacks from start though i don't dare to play like this. All in all, a very beautiful game indeed. Favorited and thanks.

  • A hungry Queen leads to a dead King!

  • 7. g6 for black ends it for white

  • @MatoJelic Thanks ay! It only worked because he kept doing king moves. He could've stopped the first check (5...Be6). I just got lucky!

  • I got to say this is a brilliant game,BRILLIANT!!!
