Play 'em Like You Got 'em


I have been playing through a number of recent miniatures played by majorminor at FICS (he has over 100 games in The  Database, going back to 2005).

Sometimes he outplays his (often higher-rated) opponent, sometimes he seemingly scares him to death.

Two examples:

majorminor - srff 
rated standard game, FICS, 2012
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.d4 exd4 6.0-0 Nf6 7.Ng5+ Kg8 8.c3 d6 9.Qb3+ Kf8 10.Qf7 checkmate




majorminor - FatTiger
rated standard game, FICS, 2012
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.d4 exd4 6.Ng5+ Ke8 7.0-0 Nf6 8.e5 Nxe5 9.Re1 Black resigned
