Post your best games that you played in 2017!
Lol i was SO confused when I first looked at your game.
I didnt realize it wasnt on the last move.
But, I saw that it says white wins via checkmate.
Was looking everywhere for your checkmate, totally confounded, before I realized I needed to fast forward a few more moves.
And well played to you sir or ma'am.
Oh, and I'd definitely say its this one; definitely one of my best ZH games of my life. Especially since the guy had only ever lost 1 out of every 4 games; and was ranked almost 1K higher than me.
NTM the fact that I had more mistakes and blunders (blunders dont mean nearly as much in ZH as it does in standard; but still) Plus, if I ever gave him another move he had checkmate. ("pocket" Knight F3 leading to pawn check knight check then cm)
He berserked me; which gave me a advantage; but I still was quite proud of this one :)

I would say this one. I am about 500 hundred rating points below but hey, who knows :) ?
nice game, cheers!
I just had one with what is probably my favorite checkmate sequence of the year. Only a mate in 3, but it looks cool, and I think that it might be a "pure" checkmate:
One of my only victories against a high-rated player.

1) An interesting opening ;
2) missed opportunities when the sacrifice was "on" ;
3) the opponent lets the clock run out with only one legal move...
Big thanks to Norldlandia. I was analysing a position of his for more than an hour before playing this game. Clearly it had a good impact on my play.

A remarkable swindle arising after I failed to remember the proper theory against 1. b4. I probably should have played it a bit slower considering the fact that I'd just learned the theory not too long ago.
Don't move the f-pawn. It's usually a bad idea.
Pretty wild game I had not too long ago
This is my favourite game I've played so far this year :) It was also the game that got me to 1300 for the first time.
