Ken, I’ve assumed you played f6, as in the descriptive notation. Because f3 is simply impossible.

Ken

Ok, here’s the story ! Once upon a time …
in 1851, Anderssen (born in 1818) one of the greatest player of all time, was coming back across Europe from London where he had just won a tournament to his home in Breslau in Germany (now Wroclaw in Poland) where he was by the way a teacher of German and Mathematics. He was a brillant player, but a quiet and reserved man.
One evening he was in a lonely solitary Inn. There was no other customers at all. The inn-keeper was a friendly man. He took interest in his only customer and the discussion went on for a while. Then the inn-keeper revealed he was a very good chess player and Anderssen said nothing. The inn-keeper asked Anderssen if he knew the game. The reply was that he did not. Too bad, reflected the inn-keeper because on such an evening it would be a nice occupation. He then proposed to teach the rules to Anderssen who accepted.
The inn-keeper took an old chessboard an began to teach the rules to Anderssen. He learned a bit slowly, but never forgot what he’d learned, and after a while he knew the rules and was ready to play. The inn-keeper was enthusiastic about the progress of his student. Not only was he a very good player, he was proving himself a very good teacher. For the 1st game, he proposed, I will allow you a huge advantage. As I am a very good player and you are only a beginner I will play without my queen. Then, despite the difference of class, the game shall be interesting. It was a very common habit in the 19th century, if you wonder about it.
Anderssen agreed and quickly lost one game, and then another. By his 4th victory, the inn-keeper was a bit disappointed. You will never be a good player, because the advantage of a queen should be enough to help you at least resist even against a strong player like me, he declared. Anderssen smiled and explained that he did not see where his advantage did lay. He had to take care of both a queen and a king and it was proving very difficult for him. Maybe that if he had only the king, he would fare much better.
Of course that the inn-keeper could not believe that. But Anderssen insisted so much that they ended playing a game where he was without his queen and where the inn-keeper had one. And Anderssen won the game this way, and then another, and another, and another, always playing without his queen. He smiled joyfully and declared that this game of chess was much easier without the queen, indeed.
And just for you Ken, one of Anderssen’s favorite 1st move (but as white) was P-QR3. It is even called the Anderssen debut !

By the way, what did you think about my little story ?

The gentleman is correct about it being much easier to only have to worry about protecting the King. I try not to let the Queen go free of charge, but I don't view her loss as crippling. I figure is is more like a divorce.

I play periodically with one of Carolus' neighbors from over the mountains to the Northwest who prides himself on his book chess. During the conversation over our last positional analysis game I upset him in the extreme, almost to the point where he refused to play a crazy old fool, because I committed sacrilage by saying that at move 9 with Black being down a Knight and a Pawn I did not see it as a guaranteed loss for Black. And that my strategy would be to trade even up down to a King and pawns on both sides and maybe even give off another pawn or two in the process. What upset him the most was the comment that I thought from there I could probably get at least a draw and possibly even a win under the correct conditions. At that point he lost his sense of courtesy and made more than a few rude comments. I ended up losing about move 47 or so mostly because he finally figured out that I was serious and managed to preserve a bishop to cover a promoting pawn that I could not get to fast enough. He was most unhappy to find himself with a King, Bishop, and 2 pawns against a pawn/King combo in the end game.

So many current opponents see me as somewhat foolish because I learned a different value system for the worth of my pieces.

33 Qh3+ ! Yes, it’s the same move than my 28th, but with even more devastating effects.
Mate will be delivered with equal material on the board (Q=9 pawns / N=3, R=5, P=1).

Me, I really hate losing my queen. I very seldom sacrifice her. I even don’t like too much to exchange her. It is one of my weakness !

Good game Julius. Your final move is the one square that I never considered when I decided to take the pawn. The Check at h3 was expected, but I thought I had it all covered.

My error at move 14 and 15 has proved costly. I had hoped to get by it. I had been looking at your possible moves and failed to put all the pieces back in the correct places and didn't figure that out until your move 16 by which point it was too late to do anything. And it was such a nice trap that you were moving into also , if the setup had been real I'd had 1 possibly both knights almost for nothing, unless you wanted to give up a rook or your queen instead.

The moves in the opening that we bypassed were:

13 a4 ... f6

I kept trying to get f6 played while it was useful but you failed to cooporate with your moves.

Again, a very good game and I will move to the back of the line now, unless of course you chose some move that is not mate.

Suffering from ads?

Julius,

The full opening with moves 1 - 14(White) in the correct order is:

1 e4 ... a6
2 d4 ... b5
3 Bd3 ... Bb7
4 Nf3 ... Nf6
5 Nbd2 ... e6
6 O-O ... c5
7 dxc5 ... Bxc5
8 e5 ... Nd5
9 Ne4 ... Be7
10 Bg5 ... O-O
11 Nd6 ... Bc6
12 Bxe7 ... Qxe7
13 a4 ... f6
14 Ne4

This is from Modern Chess Openings, 14ed, by Nick de Firmian, the chapter titled: Unusual King Pawn Defenses, pages 381-383, columns 3 & 4. This section also includes Basman's Defense that you said a friend plays on occasion.

My revised MCO had been on order for quite a while. I was just lucky that it arrived about 2 days before we were scheduled to start this game.

As I've said before, I'm not that great of a player and I'm way out of practice. But one of the things I learned back in the 60's and 70's, when I was playing the first 2-3 games of every tournament against players with ELO ratings 1000 or more points above mine, was how to make it look like I was a better player than I am. This was often enough to get a much better player to resign on the few times I could get them to blunder or fall for a unexpected trap. Not realizing that I was in deep water over my head they just assumed that I knew how to fully exploit their error and would resign.

I managed to pull that off again the other day in a game. I managed to queen a pawn that would be lost immediately and rather than looking ahead to move 55 where I would be forced to give up my rook and leave the game at his King,Rook and 2 pawns against my King and 3 pawns he resigned.

Yes, of course that I play 34 Qh4 mate.
I am not pleased by the way I handled the opening, but my middle game play was strong and forceful. After the knight sacrifice it was all over.
Ken maybe you’ll be luckier next time.
I’ve annotated the game a little if you want to see.

1 e4 … a6 ….. 1 P-K4 P-QR3
2 d4 … b5 …… 2 P-Q4 P-QN4
3 Nf3 … Bb7 ….. 3 N-KB3 B-QN2
4 Bd3 … Nf6 ….. 4 B-Q3 N-KB3
5 Nbd2 … e6 ….. 5 N1-Q2 P-K3
6 O-O … c5 ….. 6 O-O P-QB4
7 dxc5 … Bxc5 …… 7 PxQB5 BxQB4
maybe that 7 c3 was better.
8 e5 … Nd5 ….. 8 P-K5 N-Q4
9 Ne4 … Be7 …… 9 N-K4 B-K2
10 Bg5 … O-O …… 10 B-KN5 O-O
probably that 10 Neg5 or 10 a4 were stronger but I was expecting 10 f6, 11 exf6 and then either 11 gxf6, 12 Ne5! or 11 Nxf6, 12 Bxf6 gxf6, 13 Nfg5! are very strong sacrifices creating great attacking chances.
11 Bxe7 … Qxe7…… 11 BxB QxB
12 Nd6 … Bc6 …… 12 N-Q6 B-QB3
finally the knight is not that strong in d6!
13 Nd4 … Nb4…… 13 N-Q4 N-QN5
better for black were 13 Qg5 or 13 Nf4 , now I can support e5 with a pawn. Every black moves had been the best so far if you don’t discuss the choice of the opening.
14 f4 … Bd5 …… 14 P-KB4 B-Q4
a complicated way to allow the Nb8 to play
15 b3 … N8c6 ….. 15 P-QN3 N1-QB3
even stronger was 15 a4 !
16 c4… bxc4 …… 16 P-QB4 PxP
17 bxc4 … Nxd4 …… 17 PxP NxN
a bad mistake.Black should have played 17 Bxg2 with a very complicated position that I analyzed for hours. The main variation goes 18 Kxg2 Nxd4, 19 Bxh7+ Kxh7 and 20 Qxd4. I have found many good ideas for white from there, but no definite win.
18 cxd5 … exd5 ……. 18 PxB PxP
19 Bxh7+ … Kxh7…… 19 BxKR7+ KxB
now I win a pawn
20 Qxd4 … a5 …… 20 QxN P-QR4
black should have tried 20 Rb8
21 Rf3 … Kg8 …… 21 R-KB3 K-KN1
attack first, pawn grabbing later.
22 Nf5 … Qe6 …… 22 N-KB5 Q-K3
this knight moves destroys black position
23 Nxg7 … Kxg7 …… 23 NxP KxN
boom ! black is lost. All following variations are more or less forced.
