1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. O-O Ng4!!

Fishing Pole blitz games -
I like to see what crushers I miss so I can attack more efficiently next time




5. h3 h5!! 6. d4 exd4 7. Nxd4 Bc5 8. Nf5 d6


Hoping for my favorite line
9. Nxg7+ Kf8 10. Nf5 Bxf5 11. exf5 Qh4 12. Qf3 Nd4 13. Qxb7 Re8 14.
Bxe8 Ne2+ 15. Kh1 Qxf2 16. Rxf2 Ng3+ 17. Kg1 Bxf2#



9. Nc3 g6 10. Ng3 Qh4! 11. Qf3!   Bd7 12. Nd5 O-O-O!!

This is Plan B in case the first wave doesn't get him.



13. Bxc6 bxc6

13 ... B:c6!  14 Bf4  Ne5 is a little better
but I took a sacred oath long ago not
to retreat Fishing Pole knights.


14. Ne3 Ne5!!

winning -
OK, I retreated the knight but
only to gain time to sac on h3.


15. Qe2! Bxh3!!

The secret of the Fishing Pole is
that bodyguards are worth pieces.


16. gxh3 Qxh3!!  17. Rd1 Ng4

I thought the double Fishing Pole would be crushing but
I had 21 better wins starting with
17 ... h4!!!!, ... f5!!!, ... g5, ... d5!!!, ... Kd7!!!, ... Rh7!!!,
... a5!!!, ... Kb7!!!, ... Bb6!!!, ... Rde8!!!  and ... f6!!!




18. b4!!  Qh2+

18 ... Bb6!!, ... B:b4!, ... B:e3!




19. Kf1!  Nxe3+

19 ... B:b4!! is best but I wasn't even looking Queenside

20. Bxe3!! Bxe3

20 ... Qh3+  21 Kg1  B:b4   is best but I wasn't even looking Queenside



21. Qxe3!!  h4!!  22. Qxa7??

Jake Vogel would be OK after  22 Ne2!!
but Jake was tired of defending.


22 ...  hxg3!!

Crushing, of course



23. Qe3 gxf2!!!!

How did I find the best of 29 wins?
Simple -
destroy the last bodyguard,
the goal of every Poler.





24. Qxf2 Qe5!!!!

The best of many wins again.
At this Point Vogel had 22 seconds to
my one minute 28 seconds so I just tried
to play fast and crushing.


25. Rd3 Rh2


Third best -
Bank rank checks are a little stronger

26. Ke2 Qxe4+!!!!

Best of many wins again



27. Re3 Rxf2+

27 ... Q:c2+  mates
but Vogel only had 6 seconds left anyway.
He starts playing very fast in a totally
hopeless position.




28. Kxf2!  Qf4+ 29. Rf3 Qd4+

29 ... Qh2+  checkmates



30. Kg3 Qxa1 31. Rxf7 Rd7

31 ... Qg1+  mates


32. Rf3 g5

32 ... Qg1+!!  or ... Rh7!  mates


33. Rf8+ Kb7 34. Rf3 Qe5+


31 ... Qg1+, ... Rh7, ... Qd4, ... Qe1+, ... Qh1, ... Qd1, ... Qe5+, ... Qh8,
... Re7, ... g4, ... Qb2, ... Qb1, ... Qc1  and ... Rg7  all checkmate

35. Kg2!  g4 36. Rf2 Rh7

mate in 4
