I think this is a funny game: https://lichess.org/7IdPgNaeBzuV

A modified Fried Liver, which, according to some, I may no longer call a Fried Liver. I think it is also known as the Lollie attack.

Like a normal Fried Liver, I sacrificed my horse on f7, only one move later then in the pure and unadulterated Fried Liver. I drew his king to the middle of the board, I piled up my pieces against his king, he thought he had a tactic releasing some of
the pressure against his king, but he didn't calculate far enough, and because of that I regained the piece I sacrificed.
Then with his king out in the open, he tried to exchange queens, I embarked on a wild sacrifice in which I made a miscalculation and lost a horse, but through a lucky turn of events I could win a bishop of him, and came out kind of equal.
Then his queen was in big trouble and in danger of going lost. He thought he could exchange her for a castle and a bishop, but made a mistake in the calculations, and I got the queen and a bishop for the bishop and castle I invested, so finally I had a
solid advantage.
Right after that on move 25 I missed a simple tactic which would have netted me a full bishop, but I got it anyway through another exchange a move later.
It was now my queen against his castle, and me 5 pawns against his 4.
In the next moves I relieved him of 3 pawns, I exchanged my queen for his castle, and it was his one pawn against my 5. I queened one pawn and bishopped another, and was on my way to the other side with yet another pawn, in order to horse it. After
that I wanted to feed his king my queen en remaining pawns, and then go for the mate with bishop and horse.
Always risky, I usually succeed, but not always. One slip up and you're left with a draw. But he kept on playing with his bare king against my pawns, bishop, and queen, and that raised my ire, and makes me want to draw it out even more. But, alas,
just before I could horse my pawn, he resigned.

All in all an enjoyable bold imaginative game, quite the opposite of a closed positional game. It was riddled with mistakes, but hey, that's life!

What I think is funny in this one: https://lichess.org/V3tKStIMi3Yt is the little trick I pulled in the endgame, on move 71. It was a rough game, a long time I was pushed into the defense, so much that a few times I offered the exchange of queens to
relieve the pressure, but he didn't want.
But then my queen got out in the open, en then things started happening. With a little combination I got his queen for my castle, I started mopping up his left over pawns, and then it was him with a castle and king and a free pawn against my queen and
three pawns.
The free pawn was getting slightly irritating, so when two of my connected free pawns were almost on the sixth row, I simply exchanged my queen for his free pawn, and I was left with no pieces, only three pawns, against his castle. But I knew the rule
which says that two connected free pawns far advanced, close to or upon the sixth row, depending on the position of his castle, are stronger then a castle. So I got myself a fresh queen, and then the enemy surrendered unconditionally.

I think this was a funny game: https://lichess.org/1CSXi6Lej6ad I sacrificed a horse for a pawn. The opponent, apparently inspired by my sacrifice, also started to sacrifice. He sacrificed a bishop, which I happily accepted. After that he
sacrificed his other bishop, which I happily accepted. After that he sacrificed his only remaining horse, which I happily accepted. After that he sacrificed his queen, which I didn't accept. I think at one point you have to say: "Enough is enough!"
So I didn't take his queen, but instead mated him.

Funny game.

The beauty of chess lies in the combination. Or nowadays; the tactic.

I think that this is a funny game: https://lichess.org/rfH2BVzVrCH0

The enemy was doing well, was two pawns ahead, and then, suddenly, a deathblow: 27 Qg2. And that was the end of it. A nice tactic. Totally demolished the enemy.
The two pawns I had given him had given me a free shooting range to the enemy king for my two castles. And now the enemy was paying the price for it.

My deathblow 27 Qg2 move attacked the enemy castle on a8, but also pinned the pawn on g6, because of which the horse on f5 was almost undefended.
Moving his castle from a8 to f8 was not making much of a difference, because it was in the shadow of the queen on f6, which was now the first and primary defender, and the horse was under attack by a bishop and castle. So it was about undefended, and my
bishop took it. Taking back with the queen was not an option, so he moved his king to h8, removing the pin from the g6 pawn. So my bishop took the undefended g6 pawn. Undefended, because now the h pawn was pinned, and his queen couldn't take, because
my queen defended the bishop.

In desperation the enemy now threw his queen in the meat grinder, and took my castle, my other castle took the queen, his castle took my castle, my queen took his castle, the now unpinned h pawn took my bishop, and then the enemy surrendered, because he
was about to lose his last castle, and then it would be his king and five pawns against my king and four pawns, and a queen.
Or no pieces against a queen.

What is baffling is how fast the enemy went from two pawns up to being a queen down. It took only one queen move to devastate him.

Amazing.

Funny game.

For me anyway. I don't think the enemy saw it the same way. But with chess you can't please everybody. 😆

Nothing's funny about my games. It's about fingers ground down to the bone clawing at a wooden fence.

You know why it is though, I never let the opponent do anything. It's a new strategy I'm
testing where I let the guy move around until a weakness appears. I am a very aggressive
player on the attack most of the time. I want to temper this with seeing what's up in
the enemy formation.

It's called prophylaxis, it was first seriously studied by Nimzowitsch, and was Petrosian's
main weapon. As Fischer said in annotating one of his games with him "Petrosian has
this knack of preventing your attacking ideas twenty moves before you think of them".

John Watson says that of all of Nimzowitsch's ideas, prophylaxis has become the most important in recent years. So you are with the times.

As for myself, I don't know what I myself am planning, let alone what my opponent may be
planning in the future. So prophylaxis is not for me.

I think you are doing something wrong.

Looks like you pick a fight with opponents who are substantially stronger than you.

Big mistake.

It is very important that you select your opponents carefully, and make sure that they are substantially weaker than you.

That way you will win most of the time, and then the chess stays fun.

All went well, my horse smacked into f7, and forked queen and castle. Normally then the enemy king takes the horse, and then, after a bishop sacrifice, the enemy loses his queen.
Not this time.
The enemy king did not take the offending horse, instead his queen went for a walk. So I took his castle on h8.
Then his queen smacked into g2. Then I had a very funny unexpected move, never seen it before, that costed him his queen for a mere bishop.

So on move 12 I was 13 points ahead, and on move 13 I was 14 points ahead. At that point the enemy offered a draw, which I declined, and then he surrendered.

If I never dropped pieces to one or two movers against level six I would win the majority
of games. So not dropping a piece generally does help.

Plus I get more fun out of losing an interesting game than one in which I carelessly lose a piece.

Why play Stockfish level 6 when you can also play against it on level 3 or 4?

Because that is very boring. A friend plays it only on level eight. He gets about one draw a month
but that makes him happy. I prefer to win occasionally and level six gives me a tough game in
my current weak state. Level five is too easy, unless I am tired or ill. In my last game with level
four it allowed a mate in two. That's disappointing.

Various trainers have opined that one learns most rapidly when playing opponents which are stronger,
but not overwhelmingly stronger. I don't have any good reason to want to relearn lessons I used to
know, but I do. Mildly. Playing level four will actually make me worse.

People enjoy different things. And I learned sixty four years ago that losing a chess game is not a
tragedy.

I don't consider losing games to be fun games.

Then they aren't. For you.

My favourite game of all time was a win. The guy cheated but there were no witnesses. He got a won game and
was very happy with himself when I produced a cheapo that led to mate. Satisfying.

That game was more fun than my wins against various masters, though it was not at all a good game.

But not nearly as much as I enjoyed the game I played above, or one of my wins Taylor Kingston asked to see here years ago, which I am still
pleased to have won while various cheapo wins have vanished from my memory.

Players like Kasparov, Fischer, Judith Polgar, Kramnik, they could play really good, but they didn't have fun anymore, and they quit. Then what's the use of your enormous playing strength? Better a patzer who is having fun, than a world champ who
quits chess.

So this was a REALLY funny game. Even if I say so myself: https://lichess.org/ofk18NOW3x6y

It combined many beautiful elements of our noble chess game; a nice opening trap, I gave the enemy a rook, and took his queen, in a Falkbeer counter gambit.

Then came that beloved, beautiful, but also devastating attack, the horse fork, forking both his king and a castle. If executed, that fork would have netted me a full castle.

However, I decided to let that fork be, because I saw a BEAUTIFUL mate in 5, including queen sacrifice, and ending in a smothered mate.
And these things a rare, to get one in a real game.

The enemy cooperated and let me play the smothered mate until the bitter end. Bitter for the enemy of course, for me is was sweeter than honey. 😀😀😀

With overwhelming gratitude to the Creator I quietly and humbly shout out: HALLELUJAH!!!

Got another one of those four horses games: https://lichess.org/6jUv7meBSJYv

Just before one of my two queens could take his one queen, and I would have ended up with two queens, and the enemy with zero queens, he resigned.

FUNNY game. :D

There seems to be something in the four horses game that makes the enemy voluntarily give up his queen, while giving me an extra one. Which means that the enemy ends up with no queen, and me with two of 'm. Got another one here: https://lichess.org/

A really funny game!

It was also hilarious in the 1850s.

The classics endure.

For a new chess player the classics are brand new.

And of course, it is very funny when on move 15 you are 2 queens and an exchange ahead on the enemy.

But yes; the classics don't wanna die:

My name is Maggie Lawson, and I am very enthusiastic to join the Internet of Think study program at STIKOM University. I am very interested in the world of technology and how software can help solve real world problems.

Since young, I have had a passion for programming. I started learning my first programming language at the age of 18, and since then, I have never stopped learning and developing my skills. I've worked on several small projects and worked on several
applications https://ateliersansfrontieres.org/, which helped me understand the software development process from start to finish.

I am very interested in learning concepts like web development, mobile app development and database management. I also believe that collaboration is the key to creating great software, and I am passionate about working in teams to tackle complex
challenges.

While at university, I hope to deepen my understanding of various programming languages, software development methodologies, and also understand how to solve problems in software development effectively. In addition, I plan to engage in group projects
and practicums to gain deeper practical experience.

Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring side projects, learning about the latest trends in the tech industry, and participating in developer communities. I also believe that continuous learning is the key to staying relevant in the rapidly changing world
of technology.

I really enjoyed meeting my classmates, lecturers and professionals in the software industry. Let's explore this exciting world together and collaborate to create innovative solutions.

I think that this is an incredibly funny four horses game: https://lichess.org/lVVNI1vKbhts

On move 15 I had two queens, and the enemy zero. That was enough of a disadvantage for the enemy that he resigned.

A bit disappointing. OK, you are two queens behind, but anything can happen in a chess game, ain't that right?

What happened to fighting spirit?

And I got another four horses game going the same way: https://lichess.org/Ib7qJkwROJtr The same way being me getting an extra queen, en the enemy loosing his queen, so it will be me with two queens against the enemy with no queen.

When the enemy saw that happening he pushed the resign button. :D

Slumming it at level four, I'm embarrassed and plead laziness. But at least the game has some
amusement value.

https://lichess.org/ZIHPnH7I/white#59

I didn't want to fork the pieces at move eleven, as I had some idea of the exchange sac coming up and wanted
to see what would happen. I've recently seen a similar Bxe2 sac by one of the Soviet greats and wanted to try
it. The doubled d pawns, however, were not in the original.

I rarely do well with the bishop pair, but this was an exception.

Interesting game. You overlooked that pawn fork on move 11, but for the rest OK. And you also ended up with 2 queens while the enemy had no queen :) That's always plays nice. It's just that the machine doesn't know when to resign. But then
