Two Grand Prix Attacks, one as White, one as Black

 Today I wanted to practice my chess.  I like 'attacking chess', so the Grand Prix Attack for me is perfect!  The time control was 10 mins each.  Here is the first game with me playing as White on http://new.chess24.com

   




As usual, any comments welcome ...

My Grand Prix Attack!

Unlike the previous post featuring the Carlsen game, my Grand Prix Attack as White was not contested by a Grand Master thankfully :) However, I remebered the basic pattern that Carlsen used -> I.e. the triangle of Queen, Bishop and Knight ... ! In fact, I even sacrificed my Knight without realising it, but given that this was a bullet game I think that I can be forgiven ... In this game Black probably made the mistake of closing the position after 10. ..d4.


As usual, any comments welcome ...

"I missed a pin and lost the win!"

Here I got into a Closed Sicilian and managed to squeeze my opponent. I got an early e5 in and deprived my opponent's Knight of d5, which should have proved decisive.

Unfortunately I missed a crucial pin during the same coloured Bishop ending, which allowed my opponent to hold onto to the draw ... ANNOYING
