It has been a while since I have shared a blitz game on this blog.
The truth is I have not played that many games recently and have not played many games that I would consider good to share. I haven’t won many games with interesting tactics or positions. I looked through to see if there where any good games to show where I had lost but generally my losses came from making blunders and dropping pieces (I seem to drop pieces far to often in blitz, or get them trapped or forked?!) and I did not find them that instructive.
This game I have chosen is a Smith Morra Gambit game. I love this opening for the tactics and the fun that it brings to a game. It is a great one for blitz! There are a few interesting tactical moves and the final position leaves Black with a lost position where Black cannot stop checkmate occurring without giving up substantial material.
The following game was played on Chesscube. I really enjoy playing on Chesscube and find the site quite easy to use. My online chess name is Clivek if you are ever on Chesscube and see my name or find yourself playing me! Hope you enjoy!
