You can send them by private message directly to me, haha. Those are older games, though. You should send in games that you took in response to this challenge.
Today was very educational. We even got a chance to play against a Grandmaster (14 minutes in)! Catch the recording here: http://youtu.be/NYPcaMm7pYE
This week, your challenge is gambit play. If you're fighting against a gambit, accept it! If not, offer the most unusual or effective gambit you can think of, and see where it takes you.
I look forward to seeing your games.

Gambits were fun. Replay: http://youtu.be/wkDm7jHftc4
Then, we had a bullet chess week. http://youtu.be/Lye6eXNnAHE
Next up, batteries. Focus on lining up your rooks + queen (or bishop + queen) on the same file or diagonal, and let the sparks fly!

For the battery challenge, I have a game under a different name that will beat any other battery game you will see. Total ownage with the queen+bishop long diagonal. It is old and under my other name, so maybe it doesn't count, but like I said it's probably the best battery power that anyone will submit.

Even if you use that game, I won't get the credit, since there's no way to prove that I, Dionysus, am the new "mikeisapro". My mike account got hellbanned so I have to use this name now.
But I assure you it's my game. I often use the Ra2, Qa1, Bb2 double battery.

Today, we made excellent use of the Ra2, Qa1, Bb2 double battery. I'm not 100% convinced of its efficacy, but it certainly was fun. Check out the victories: http://youtu.be/z_8s8Aiuf1E
Next Funday Monday will be a new board game entirely: the game of Go. Come join the fun next Tuesday!
P.S. MeToDon has the manners of a skunk. Watch the episode to find out why. :-)

12:33 is a MAJOR problem for this. That knight is so pesky sometimes for sure.
Sometimes the rook+queen battery can be good too, but the power of the Q on a1 supporting the bishop on b2 is the main hypermodern attack from this position. The rook being on a2 can usually swing to the right later and already is prepared to be doubled with the rook on the first rank.
