    That was the final blow, yes. Very risky play on your part. But hey, at least it was interesting chess. After your 1.e4 I went for the Caro-Kann (1.c6), which is one of the most solid and boring defenses for black, so it wasn't me who provided the fireworks in this one :P Later!

    Good game :tup: I robbed you of your right to castle very early, but somehow you got the better piece-development after that setback. Found that impressive. I struggled a bit with my piece coordination early on, but gradually found my way. Strategically it was good from both, but you were...

    Just go to the Live Area like you just did, and wait for my game invite. I will make a 30 minute unrated game with 1 second increment, and because I'm such a gentleman, you get the white pieces.

    We're all patzers, surely, so I think that all of us here will have good chances against one another. Amateurs make lots of mistakes. Heck, even GMs make mistakes. All the time. Chess is just a very complicated game, and there's really no shame in losing (unless you're constantly 'hanging' your...

    No, you had it! You were one move away from mate! 1. Rxd5 Qxd5 (your rook takes bishop move and black's reply) 2. Qxf7+ Qxf7 (your Queen takes pawn move and black's only legal reply, as the king cannot take, because of your knight on e5).
