Perhaps a bit too greedy? Nah, I've gotten rather used to being on the defensive against you. I'm just happy to be forcing some casualties that aren't all my color.

You didn't see that taking the Rook meant forced mate?

You have only one legal move, Bd6.

Check mate.

That's why I said you were too greedy, you really didn't have the time for snatching that Rook since your King was under such a heavy attack. (Which of course was why I didn't do anything to prevent it.)

My 4:th move, Nxf7 seemed okay to me at the time. I was pretty sure it wasn't as good as Nxc6 but I thought 2 central pawns and your King unable to castle was good compensation.

Apparently it wasn't. Chessmaster claims I lost 2.3 pawns on that move. Fortunately for me, you gave it back with your 6:th move, Nxd5, where you lost 3.3 pawns. That and your 9:th move, Nxc2 were your biggest mistakes according to Chessmaster (Nxc2 losing a whooping 5 pawns).

Last place here I come-WOOHOO! I've never laughed so hard at losing. Sure it cost me a game, but it was fun starting out with a wreckless blitz like that.

On the flip side, I will take the game much more seriuosly next time. I might even use a real opening.

Congrats...again.

Maybe you should play someone else, I doubt you'll get a telling rating playing only one player...

But I'll happily play again as soon as you feel up to it. I'll probably avoid such creative moves as Nxf7 though.

What I need to do is stop inputting my moves into Winboard wrong. That's what's really cost me all three games! I really need to clear off space on my desk to set up a real board and doublecheck my input. Would you still be up for a game whenever that is?

I'm not really worried about my rating. I'm having fun and that's all the really counts isn't it? I mean as long as my opponents don't feel like they're time's being wasted...

EDIT: On second thought, I suck more than I used to. Let me butt heads with Chessmaster for a few weeks. Do you want a PM then? I do enjoy playing against you...

 

[Panzar75]

I do believe that it's a big advantage to use a real board as I do, unless you're some sort of memory wizard.

Rather than just thinking about the moves I play them out on the board, which I believe is okay to do in this format. It's not like you have to move a piece because you happened to touch it...

I see that you're here every now and then posting in all kinds of topics, so if you're going to be here anyway, we might as well keep playing.

Ready when you are.
