I'm not a crook!

Post by zullil »

Wasted some time on FICS today, playing blitz (game in 3 mins). My opponent accused me of cheating---specifically, using Fritz 13---after I won this game. It seemed pretty as I played, but I'm sure there are blunders:
[pgn]
[Event "?"]
[Site "FICS"]
[Date "2015. 7. 6"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Louis"]
[Black "PuertoAguamar"]
[Result "1-0"]
[BlackElo "1917"]
[ECO "C20"]
[TimeControl "3 min/game"]

1. e4 e5 2. Ne2 Nc6 3. Nbc3 Nf6 4. g3 d6 5. Bg2 g6 6. O-O Bg7 7. d3 O-O 8. h3 Be6 9. Kh2 Ne8 10. g4 f5 11. exf5 gxf5 12. gxf5 Bxf5 13. Ng3 Be6 14. f4 Nd4 15. Nce4 Qh4 16. c3 exf4 17. Bxf4 Rxf4 18. cxd4 Bxd4 19. Rxf4 Qxf4 20. Qh5 Bxb2 21. Rf1 Qe5 22. Ng5 1-0
[/pgn]

[Edit] My opponent claimed my 22. Ng5 was a computer move. Funny thing is that it's a blunder---there's a real winner that I missed (but I'm sure Fritz would have seen. :wink: ).

Last week I also played some blitz games with some fantastic sacrifices. Because in blitz there is not much time to think I merely play on intuition and take much larger risks. So sometimes you accidentally get fantastic games with incredible good moves. But the opposite is true too. Sometimes dreadful blunders.

Let's call it the Reshevsky effect.

[By the way in real games with long time control I almost always get into time trouble. ]

Really, why bother with some sour loser?

I put sore losers who make comments like that on my block list. :wink:
