Difficult to find a good square for your Queen?

No, you pretty much made the decision for me...

I hate to waste a move, but your knight changed things a little bit.

13. 0-0-0 (Is this correct notation for long side castle?)

 

[Panzar75]

I hate to waste a move, but your knight changed things a little bit.

Making you waste even more moves?

Yes, 0-0-0 is long castle but it seems to me like it loses a piece.

15. White resigns...

 

[Panzar75]

Yeah, you would've lost a piece on g5 as well... not a pretty sight.

I believe the main problem was the g3 and Bh3 moves, if you really want to do g3, then your Bishop probably belong on g2. And later the Queen moves gave me several tempos.

Do let me know if you want another game.

 

[superslug]

Yeah, once I DID see what was coming it wasn't worth continuing. I should have realized I was in trouble when I lost momentum.

Sorry that I kept you out of last place!

Should a new game be a new thread?

 

[Panzar75]

Yes, one game per thread.

It's not that I WANT last place... I was just a little frustrated with my results so far.

 

[superslug]

I meant it sarcastically...I guess I'm the one that should be in last place as I have no wins. I'll start a new thread when I get back to my home computer with Winboard...

 

[Panzar75]

That's where I have an advantage: I use a real board.
