I also posted this in the beginner's corner under the chess titans thread but figured I would get greater feedback here. If you need me to delete one of the posts just let me know.
I just destroyed chess titans on level 5 playing black. No cheating this time! An annoying feature of the game is that the computer never resigns...i think it was officially over at move 20. Here are the moves...does anyone see a way I could have won sooner or played it better? And is it just me, or did the computer play a horrible game? Methinks 7. Nxd5 was particularly silly. And what would my defence be called? the Queen's Binko French Sicilian Monster Boy Gambit or something?
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. Nc3 d5 5. Qa4 Bd7 6. c5 b6 7. Nxd5? Nxd5 8.Bg5 Be7 9. h4 h6 10. f4 Nb4
11. e4 Bxa4 12. h5 Nc2+ 13.Kd2 Nxa1 14.a3??? Nb3+
15. Ke1 hxf5 16. exd5 Qxd5 17. Be2 Nxd4 18.Rh3 Nxe2 19.Kxe2 Bb5+
20. Ke1 0-0-0 21. Nd4 Qxd4 22. Rd3 Qxd3 23. c6 Qd2#
In going back over the notation, it seems I may have mixed up 12.h5 with 14.a3, thus explaining the triple question mark. It's the whole mixing up h with a and 3 with 5 thing that I did a few times before as well.
