Even the masters play like us

Sometimes -

Reti - Tartakower | Vienna 1910

1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Qd3 e5? 6. dxe5 Qa5+ 7. Bd2 Qxe5 8. O-O-O Nxe4? 9 Qd8+ Kxd8 10. Bg5+ Kc7 11. Bd8# 1-0

Seemed like a pretty nice combo to me.

That wasn’t a serious game if I remember correctly.
It was like how we play blitz.
They called it an “off hand” game I think.

Yes it was, I'd be a little embarrassed if it happened to me, but imagine what a master would feel like being on the receiving end of it. 😳

I'd hardly call it embarrassing. It's a classic blitz finale (and as a master, I'd only be embarrassed if I fell into it twice). 😉
