This is my special thread for games that purposely go against theory and normal development,yet win.I will not comment in any of these games(except maybe a small tiny humor comment) but anyone else is free to do so.I will add to these games over the months and maybe years.Some games will be blitz games against 1200 rated players and some will be against much higher rated players in the 2000+range or higher.Other games will be from my regular GK games(unrated)or games from other chess sites.All I will say is that I want you to take a look at the first 10 moves in every game,or whatever game you choose.After that,watch as my opponents fall like fly's hitting one of those electric blue zap lights.Enjoy these oddities and begin to wonder and maybe even learn how and why my opponents fall into my abyss as I use the technique of patience,skill and extreme experience.Take the journey through the murky tunnels of the Abyss with me and watch from a distance as the walls of the Abyss wind and spiral,get smaller and suddenly cave in on my opponents giving them no escape,no oxygen and no return to the surface of the Earth.....

tactical_abyss 17-Nov-13, 15:06	Now,keep in mind one thing... Sure,you may be thinking that many of these players in this post/thread are much lesser rated than me.Some may be near beginners and are prone to tactical and positional errors.HOWEVER,NOT ALL are beginners and are rated much higher than some of the club members here!Just in the first 4 games above,there is a 1732 and a 1505 rated player.Are these beginners?No way!Yet,they fall pray to my "special"moves that they have never encountered previously.I say "beyond the galaxy",because these games will go BEYOND your standard "irregular"games you may have seen in books.I have hand selected them.Anyone is free to add their own game(s)but I prefer the freaky ones only,since this is what the thread is about. In any case,enjoy what I have posted now,frown,laugh or wonder.There will be much more to come.And if you think that some of the antics in the first 4 games above would not work with players north of 2000 rated,you better adjust your way of thinking!I have proved otherwise many times!I have stomped on the "way"many chess players "assume"cannot occur with stronger opponents.They may be correct in many circumstances,but not all circumstances and I may very well raise the eyebrows of some of you in time..... Why?Only the Abyss knows! TA

tactical_abyss 18-Nov-13, 06:28	The illusion of weakness,loss of tempo and against all sanity comes the sledge hammer... ...and welcome to the abyss! Just inputting a diagram from game #2 above against a 1732 player(basmaniac).His account no longer exists on GK,however he may be someone else by now on GK,who knows?In any case,like game #1 above its the same position(on my side),but opposite sides and i'm playing the white. Position after move #10 in diagram below! Weak position for white?Where?Ha ha! I won this game as white. No further comment! Repeated game link,same as the above link: May I remind the readers that 1732 is not a weak rating,nor is this player a "beginner". game

Bd4 Bxd4 0-1 Position after move #7 below in the diagram.Look familiar?:His double fianchetto is worth a stiletto,but its his harakiri,not mine.Temporary insanity on my part.But insanity can beat even a 1500 player.What was that about massive loss of tempo on blacks part here(me)???I'll jump to the next galaxy and see what in store for me there as well in the next game post here.Would 10 minutes have made a difference in this game instead of 5 minutes?Me thinks not.
tactical_abyss 24-Nov-13, 14:28	The beg to be killed series.... Here,you have 10 minutes to destroy me,not my usual gift of 5 minutes.My weird,weak opening as a black defense is one of the weakest in chess history.Rating makes no difference to me in these random games played in the GK blitz room,since 1....h5 and 2....a5 is my gift that you should be able to be able to take advantage of,whether your 1200 or 2100.And yes,I plan to post a 10 min game(and win)against a much stronger opponent with this same style opening defense or opening as white with flank pawns as soon as the blitz random opponent generator permits it.

Kh1 Bxf3# 0-1 Another terrible play by me,this time the white side using the flank pawn opening.Mate in 27 moves,but this time the melting icicle is longer and sharper.Hey... 1745 against the icicle dagger is fair,right?Need a 2000 rated here to prove a point?Sure!When the GK computer permits it.

tactical_abyss 24-Nov-13, 14:29	Note...the second game directly above is also a 10 minute game.I simply forgot to place "10 minutes"in the game description.
tactical_abyss 24-Nov-13, 20:48	The creepy crawly flank pawns of mine... in this game go way beyond the usual way any normal sane guy would play.But sometimes there is "genius"behind the insanity!My opponent was rated at 1950.This is a club game with a 15 minute time control of sudden death,I played at the Marshall earlier today as I sipped on a bit of brandy in my coffee.Perhaps he had more brandy than me,since he played like a 1700 rated at best.Who needs a Ruy Lopez,when I can play against normalcy on the flanks and win.I'll have to place this game in this post under..."unusual".
