  Sally Simpson: Good old chessgames.com. see NN vs Plaskett, 2022 (kibitz #1) I found a doubler and with the correction slip I sent this game as my reward for being so diligent.

In this tournament we are play 3 dozen games at once with a frantic 21 day time control. A correspondence blitz 38 board simul! Two move tricks, basic blunders and sham sac attacks rule. The online postal equivalent of bullet chess except the players are using rusty muzzle loaders that often misfire or backfire.

I was cruising and expecting 15...Nxe5 I missed 15...Nb6 so went with the Queen sac because it looked liked fun.

And Here;

I saw I had 24.Bxg5 but 24...Rg8 activates the Rook. Then I had to look out for back rank shots.

Black is setting me up for 34...Bxc1 35 Nxc1 Qxd4 36.Bxd4 Re1 mate. I only spotted that one because their 33....Qa1 looked odd. (on auto pilot I would not have played 35.Rxc1. Taking a Rook off the 7th...No Way.)

After I got in h4 I relaxed and knew the win was just a question of time. I'm now off to look for more doublers. I have a cluster of iffy Queen sacs to get rid of.

(We need a collective term for 'Queen Sacs' a throne room full of Queens Sacs, , a Realm of Queen Sacs....a Court of Queen Sacs....?)

  MissScarlett: Not to put too fine a point on it, this garbage game should be deleted. I'm also not a fan of the PGN style: <2. Ng1f3 Nb8c6>.

  Sally Simpson: It's a masterpiece of creativity. A shining jewel peeking though the mist of mediocrity....GOTY material (game of the year) All potential puns must be run by me before acceptance and contain the words 'handsome,' 'inspirational' and 'wonderful.'

I'm not too fond of the double notation in books but that is how the games are recorded on RHP and it works. Even that Olga viewer which appears to have been cobbled together by some blind watchmaker can handle it.

  fredthebear: Are you hung over again <MissScarlett>?? Do you have something against fun chess??

It's a chess game and this is a chess website. Get over yourself <MissScarlett>. You should be damn grateful for quality chess posts from one of the most entertaining chess writers of all time who just happens to play full throttle, daring chess (although 24.Be3 is an example of playing it safe -- not opening lines to one's king, under the circumstances of simultaneous "correspondence blitz").

It's certainly not a perfect chess game, but where is your appreciation of tactics? The game ends with a blind swine royal double attack, a maneuver that you likely have never pulled off in your entire life.

What's more, you have proven innumerable times that you don't know what "garbage" is. The filth, cyberbullying, and dishonesty tolerated and promoted on this website is astounding, flabbergasting, and never-ending. Chessgames is loaded, loaded, loaded like an overflowing port-a-potty with waste that does not bother you in the least, "weed puller."

It's worth repeating -- knowledgeable chess people should run a chess website. Are you listening Susan Freeman? ("No" would be the answer to my own question.)

"Long algebraic notation takes more space and is no longer commonly used in print; however, it has the advantage of <clarity>. Both short and long algebraic notation are acceptable for keeping a record of the moves on a scoresheet, as is required in FIDE rated games." -- Wikipedia

Ah, clarity. FTB can say with certainty that chess notation errors are rather common at some point on a scoresheet. Players that use the long form find it much easier to fix their miscues after the fact and are rewarded for its use. As a chess coach, I certainly prefer its use. For PGNs? No, but it's certainly no reason to dismiss a game.

  fredthebear: Besides, who amongst us has played with a Hardcore Grand redhotpawn?? It's a happening that has to be told. Inquiring minds will want to know if NN had a bag over her head?

I bid you notice that filth, cyberbullying and dishonesty are not proscribed by the posting guidelines.

<knowledgeable chess people should run a chess website.>

They are welcome to try. Indeed, they have my blessing.

  Sally Simpson: Hi Fred,

The main trouble with posting on a forum is one cannot hear the tone or see the facial expression.

I have no problem with Miss Sc's post or anyone's as I always assume it's a gag or a minor wind up.

That way any intended insults (and I'm sure this was not the case) always fall flat and I skip merrily on my way through the games and threads with a stupid grin on my face.
