2009 Colorado Bullet Championship
Sunday
7 PM Colorado time
double round robin
ICC
eligible -
anyone who ever lived in Colorado
----------------------------------------------------------------
This was David King's idea ( PretzelAttack )
We tried to play a match Friday for practice but my provisional rating was too
low ( 674 ). There are two forms of bullet - you can press 1 and enter and you
will be matched up automatically - my one minute rating is 2007. You can also
challenge someone to a bullet game - my bullet rating is 2003.
David King had his parameters set to play no one under 2,000 so I endeavored
to reach 2,000 in both one minute and bullet. My last game to achieve this feat,
as fate would have it, was a Full Metal jacket.

1. d4 Nc6 2. d5 Ne5 3. e4 e6 4. f4 exd5 5. fxe5 Qh4+ 6. Kd2 Qh6+
7. Kc3 Qc6+ 8. Kb3 Qb6+ 9. Kc3 Qb4+ 10. Kd3 Qxe4+?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone knows or should know I invented this 6 years ago in
Josh Bloomer's basement while he slept peacefully. What
they don't know is I have screwed this position up every
time I've reached it. The e-pawn is very tempting but
10 ... Bc5!! is best as I must have analyzed many times.
10 .. Bc5!! 11 c4 Q:c4+ 12 Kd2 Qb4+!! 13 Kc2 B:g1!! 14 R:g1 Qc5+
15 Nc3! and now 15 ... Q:g1? 16 N:d5!! gives good counterplay but
15 Nc3 d4!! paradoxically blocking the g1-c5 diagonal or
15 Nc3 Ne7! are good for me
10 .. Bc5!! 11 c4 Q:c4+ 12 Kd2 Qb4+!! 13 Nc3 d4
followed in most cases by 14 ... dc+!
is even better for me
10 .. Bc5!! 11 Nc3 de+!!! 12 Ke2 d5!!!
with threats like ... Bg4+, ... B:g1, ... Ne7-
sample 10 .. Bc5!! 11 Nc3 de+!!!
12 Ke2 ( anything else gets mated ) d5!!!
13 a3 Qb6 14 Nd5 Bg4+ 15 Nf3 Qc6!! 16 c4 0-0-0!!
10 .. Bc5!! 11 Nc3 Qd4+!! 12 Ke2 Qf2+ 13 Kd3 de+ 14 K:e4? d5+!! mates
10 .. Bc5!! 11 Nc3 Qd4+!! 12 Ke2 Qf2+ 13 Kd3 de+ 14 N:e4? Qd4+ mates
10 .. Bc5!! 11 Nc3 Qd4+!! 12 Ke2 Qf2+ 13 Kd3 de+ 14 Kc4! d6 or ... d5
is good for me
10 .. Bc5!! 11 Qf3 B:g1!! and if 12 R:g1 Qc4+ wins back the Rook
10 .. Bc5!! 11 Qf2 B:g1!! 12 ed Qd4+ 13 Ke2 Ne7!! 14 Nc3 0-0!!
among other is strong
Instead of 10 Kd3 Bc5!! I also had
10 Kd3 de+! 11 Ke2 Qb5+ 12 Ke1 Q:e5
which is the line I thought I was entering.
In this case my pawn is much stronger on e4
instead of d5 shielding the e-file which makes
it harder for White to trade Queens.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Kd2! Qxe5
An interesting decision -
I can keep checking White around the world for a draw
or play 11 ... f6.
12. Qe2 d6 13. Qxe5+?
13 Nf3! is a better way to force a trade
13 ... dxe5!
I have a healthy Full Metal Jacket
( original set of pawns )
for my Knight now.
14. Nf3 f6 15. Bb5+
My son likes this pointless
check but he's only 10.
15 ... c6! 16. Ba4 Be6 17. c4 dxc4
I have twice as many pawns as White
18. Nc3 O-O-O+ 19. Kc2 b5!
Winning my piece back in a bullet game is fine
but 19 ... B:f5+!! wins a piece much cleaner
20. Nxb5! cxb5! 21. Bxb5! Ne7 22. Ba6+ Kb8 23. Be3 Nc6
23 ... Nd5!!! is more forcing
24. Rac1 Nb4+ 25. Kb1! Nxa6!
A piece and two pawns up
26. Rhe1 Bc5! 27. Bxc5 Nxc5! 28. Nd2 Nd3
Adding another exchange
but 28 ... R:d2!!! or ... Bf5+!!
win a third piece
29. Nxc4 Nxe1!! 30. Rxe1! Bxc4!
{White resigns} 0-1
Thus my bullet rating reached 2,000+
and David King can no longer avoid me.
Steve Towbin ( 40ish ), Tyler Hughes ( 19 ), Richard Herbst ( 17-18 ish ),
Josh Smith ( 30ish )and 10 year old Ryan Swerdlin might join us.
