Game against a GM - draw.
No fireworks unfortunately - steady as she goes it was

Right-o Munchkins

Game against an IM - the damn goose just prolonged the inevitable.
He goofed the opening - thats when I would have resigned.

There is another way:

And the black IM gave up after a week's consideration. Thank you!

6. ... d6?? is of course a fatal blunder

(castling holds the position balanced)
It is surprising that something like this happens to an IM during a corrgame...

Yes, sometimes people play the opening in fast mode or blind mode. It's still incomprehensible.

a quick win for you in any case lol

whether he bit himself in the ass after confirm the d6 move-I believe so...

And even more surprising that he did not resign. I blundered in the opening against a strong player and resigned immediately - I do not believe in TORTURING myself ..

Nemesis · Post by **Nemesis** » 11/12/2022, 20:33

Two games I lost because I was preoccupied and blundered. Silly me.
My friends in Alpha Centauri would say .. what a doofus.

Nemesis · Post by **Nemesis** » 20/02/2023, 18:46

Continuing game so no help OK.
Clearly my opponent believes he has an opportunity .... ??

I'm thinking maybe Qf6+ or Bf7 or Bf3 - will study game later after watching my cartoons ..

[Black "gg"]

Happy Days Are Here Again

Another game in progress.
Opponent went astray around move 28 .. PGN later .. much much later.
Methinks he has issues.

[White "me"]
[Black "jvmh"]

Happy Ice Storms .. Again

So now we're reacxhed this position and his fate is sealed unless I goof which is hopefully not likely.
I've worked out a line that looks good .. we'll see.

This fellow is still at it .. him to play

Nemesis · Post by **Nemesis** » 19/03/2023, 18:51

I goofed .. Kf2 was below dumpster-level move.

Nemesis · Post by **Nemesis** » 28/03/2023, 10:30

53. Qxb5 .. its highly unlikely this 'chess player' sees the writing on the wall now ..
