Best Chess game I ever played

[Witchkingx5]

As some of you might know, I also play Chess very often, so here's a game I played last Saturday against my chess computer Fritz, which is about 2200 Elo strong, so strong enough, I think. I posted some comments on the most interesting moves as explanations. From my point of view, this is one of the best, if not the best Chess game I ever played. So, here it comes:

Me, Dominik Fähnrich (white) vs. Fritz, Elo 2210 (black)

1. Nf3, d5
2. b3, Nf6
3. Bb2, c5
4. e3, e6
5. c4, Be7
6. Nc3, 0-0
7. Be2, Nc6
8. 0-0, b6
9. d3, Bb7
10. Nb5, Qd7 (10....a6 11. Na3!, d5 12. Nc2 and white has a quiet big advantage.)
11. d4, Rb8
12. Rac1, Ne8 (Black's plan is to pin the d4 pawn with Bf6 and then attack on the Queen's side.)
13. a3, Bf6 (If 13. Qc2, then Nb4!)
14. Qc2, Be7
15. dxc5, Bxc5
16. cxd5, Qxd5 (If exd5, winning the d-pawn is pretty easy for white.)
17. Rfd1!, Qh5 (Strong move, and the only safe place for the Queen is h5.)
18. b4, Be7 (opening the c-line.)
19. Rd7!, Nf6 (With the unpreventable threat 20. Rxb7, Rxb7 21. Qxc6)
20. Rxb7, Rxb7
21. Qxc6, Rab8 (Rbb8 is losing the a-pawn.)
22. Nd6!, Rd7 (Now, nearly everything is hanging and attacked, the Black pieces don't work together at all.)
23. Bxf6!, Rxd6 (Any other move than Rxd6 loses immedietly.)
24. Qc7, Rb7 (Last try to get the situation under control.)
25. Qxb7, Bxf6
26. Rc8+, Bd8
27. Qc7!!, a5 (There's no defense against Rxd8. If, Qd5, then e4 takes the last square to defend the Rock.)
28. Rxd8, Rxd8 (Forced win.)
29. Qxd8++ 1-0

That was it, and if you know a bit about Chess, you'll share my opinion that this game was awesome!

No me gusta Chess.

Perhaps thats a crime. But I harbor no ill will towards those that like it. Good job on a game well played.

Not too shabby! Very nice.

I really love the Réti opening (1. Nf3) cus' it openes so many possibilities to the game and btw, was made by a swissman, Réti.

Anyway, 1.e4 may be a bit more agressive, but most players don't know the Réti opening, especially the 2.b3 one. I mean, 1. Nf3 does make sense in the opening, but 2. b3 seems like a weak move to many players. But it isn't.

Cus' with 3. Bb2, the center is even more attacked, and then, 4. e3 makes the confusion perfect. Up to 4. e3, about 95% or more players don't know the line anymore, and if they don't winning for white is actually quiet simple. Even against stronger players, which often get confused.

Just a few thoughts.
