Here's one more video for you, of my game from the last World Blitz Chess Championship, in which I won against Grandmaster Alexander Grischuk, rated #10 in the world (ELO 2736). Look at how surprised he was when I played 24. Qxg8+ which leads to mate next move.
The PGN of the game is as follows:
[Event "World Blitz Campionship 2009"]
[White "Kosteniuk, Alexandra"]
[Black "Grischuk, Alexander"]
[Result "1-0"]
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 e6 7. f4 Qb6 8. Qd2 Qxb2 9. Nb3 Qa3 10. Bxf6 gxf6 11. Be2 Nc6 12. O-O Bd7 13. Kh1 Rc8 14. Bh5 Bg7 15. f5 O-O 16. Rf3 Ne5 17. Rg3 Kh8 18. Rf1 b5 19. Ne2 Qxa2 20. Ned4 Nc4 21. Qf4 e5 22. Qg4 Rg8 23. Bxf7 Bh6 24. Qxg8+ 1-0

Poor Alexander... so the horrible moves aren't a "beginners exclusive". Top GM -> chicken mate. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the game. It seems to me that you did your best in the Blitz tourney against the top players. Is that just coincidence or did you prepare better or play better against the bette players?
ReplyDeleteHis reaction was not as funny as Kasparov's was in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZqcT66Fkzw
