Hmmm, you didn't reply as I thought you would. (I'll talk more about that after the game ends.)

If you mean I should have captured on g5, that's not my style and you seemed to be inviting it. So I did not really consider it atall.

 

[Myzenium]

Yes, I meant capturing on g5 on move 12. My kingside cover would have been destroyed, and my only compensation would have been one minor piece for two pawns. Anyway, I hope that I can still win this...

Fighting talk. Just don't win too quickly; this is my only way of building my post count.

Guilty as charged. I've just resumed an old debate on the nature of 42 .... sorry of civilization the game with Nicosar. I'm afraid I do drop off for a few days quite often. I get into time trouble otb and corerspondence and internet chess.

Nice quote; hope your chess doesn't get that good too
