Wise Experienced Player vs. New Eager Player

A game played between an experienced Trice's Chess player and a decent 8x8 chess player who was new to Trice's Chess. The experienced player makes some moves that, on the surface, appear to be bad. Usually these moves lose material or surrender something that you might not want to give up. The eager player accepts these "gifts" and appears to be better off in so doing, but we find out the wise player was planning ahead and setting traps. This is a "parable game" that appears in Ed Trice's book series, "Better than Chess" but it was an actual game between two combatants. The material sacrifices are worthy of study for anyone seeking to explore the depths of this game.

This one was the best live game yet. Nice commentary by “Shogi” above. Didn’t know that opening had a name.

Staffordshire vs. Ed Trice on August 11, 2024

Staffordshire vs. Ed Trice on August 11, 2024
Behind 3 wins to 1 with 1 draw, this impressive win by Staffordshire was exactly what he needed at this point in the match. The opening avoided both the Spike and the Genesis lines, yet featured an offbeat mix of both. 3. f3 Nc6 4. g4 was the new blending of the ingredients. Unusual was Ed Trice playing Nh6 four times by move 11. After the game, he said he did it to throw white "off balance" since in each case, a different remedy was needed to give black a taste of some "bad medicine." Players should know that they can't get away with "psychological ploys" against Staffordshire because his well-rounded play is too solid. 19. e5 Ce6 20. Bh3 Cf8 was all the tempo-gaining push that white needed to send Ed into a disorganized retreat. White's Rook lift and black's aggressive replies created some excitement with Rh3 Ag4 and neither player wanted to yield afterwards. White was the one who coordinated his attack with precision while black fell short of his target. The audience was treated to a spectacular game-winning combination featuring a rare smothered checkmate with the Archbishop, every players' "dream checkmate."
