play against a better player
It is always nice to watch a craftsman at work. This fellow rated 1950 on playchess without wasted effort beat me in three games. Often times players rated this high will only give me one rated game(if any)then move on. I am pleased we played three times.

This Vienna game I mechanically made a unsound bishop sac without calculating.

Play like this is reinforces that I need some more tactical study before my tourney.

What time control were these games at? Which games were you white?
What was the goal of the sac in the first game?

What time control were these games at? 20 + 6 on internet
Which games were you white? the second one.
What was the goal of the sac in the first game? I misunderstood the position and analyzed it for before the bishop had moved.
Thinking
...bishop X pawn +,
kXp, knight move +
take bishop with queen.
It was no longer there when I did it so it was a big error I was confused.

Takchess, that's a great trick but it was never there because the opp's queen controlled g4 (the square where your knight would go for check to discover attack on the Bishop,
Bxf2+ Kxf2
Ng4+ and he can take the N with his Q which protects his Bishop)...
I've done that quite a bit, try to play something I assume is there because I've done it before only to not double check it and I lose a piece.

Josh,All I can say is it must of been a brain cramp.8) I play bishops pointing at f7 at least 80% of my games as white and mostly make good decisions around it. I want to take a look at 100 of my games at random in my database at random and count how many times I sac a bishop. It would be interesting for me to know.
