Nov-11-09   bengalcat47: Black had five more pieces than White --and six of those pices are still sitting on their starting points at the end!
Nov-11-09   HeadCrunch: Yet another loss by Nomen nescio
Nov-11-09   Samagonka: This game is like 2 amateurs playing against each other.

  Sim1: I believe this game features in "Better Chess for Average Players" as an instructional game between two fictional players, Black being "Hack'em Harry".
Nov-11-09   GMMandetowitch: I guess 7-...Qf3 was perhamps a better try.Well,white should retain a probably winning advantage(he should come out with a pawn up),but at least trading queens,black has the chance to develop his pieces,and hope to have enough activity to survive.For example,if Qxf3 exf3+ Kxf3 Nh6(or Nf6, Im not sure which is the best)Nxh8 Bg4+(developing with check,black hopes to castle queenside and be very active with all this white pieces still in the first rank)Kg2 ...Nd7 d3 0-0-0 and I stop here,black seems active and to have at least temporary counterchances for the pawn...of course my followup was not at all forced,so those who have better alternatives for white,just post it!
Nov-11-09   kmzr: this game is like Greco-NN games
Nov-11-09   sfm: Seems that White was lucky here. Simply 7.-,Qf3+ 8.QxQ,PxQ+ 9.KxP,Nf6 10.NxR,Bg4+ 11.Kg2,Bh5 12.d4,g5 12.BxP,Bg7 is too good for black. White can try other moves than 9.KxP, but I think he is lost. But if NN had played like that, we'd never have known the game.
Nov-11-09   lzromeu: The Black Queen was trying to do a "olympic lap". Romantic times.
Nov-11-09   Anthony1: I'd go with 3...Qe7
Nov-11-09   kingfu: Interesting development for black. Queen devours white back row except the King! Black "develops" his king to the middle of the board. ALL remaining black pieces and pawns are comfortable on their original squares.

  Once: That's not chess - it's yet another sequel to Saw.

Great fun to play through, though.

Nov-11-09   arnaud1959: the same pun could have been used for Kick Langeweg

  Once: <RV> Useful analysis, as always - thanks!

In other words, white's attack was utter pants but NN got greedy and grabbed too much material.

6. Qh5 drops the eval to a whopping -7, but black throws it away by grabbing the Bc1 and the Ra1. He allows his queen to be dragged too far from the action.

But then the tempting 8. Nd6+ should have led to a level position instead of the lethal 8. Nc3, drawing the black queen further into the badlands of the white queenside.

Mistakes on both sides, but white's aggression carries him through.

In this game, black plays 3 pawn moves, 5 queen moves and 6 king moves. And that's it - none of the other black pieces move or are captured.

Nov-11-09   WhiteRook48: someone loves animals
Nov-11-09   Dravus: Like Bonnie and Clyde, Black's King and Queen, with their loot hanging all over the place, wonder why it's hard to get good help.

  fred lennox: peculiar game. What do you expect; wasp variation on an elephant gambit.
Nov-11-09   MaxxLange: TAKE MY ROOKS!
Nov-11-09   bengalcat47: Neither a charging elephant nor a wasp's sting is a match for a queen on the rampage!
Nov-12-09   sfm: <Marmot PFL: Greed is not always good.> LOL!

It is harder to win than it looks. On-line link: http://www.chessvideos.tv/endgame-t.... You can also try out the Nd6++? line against good defence with the same link.
