After years and years of continuous study and practice. I believe I have the game mastered and will share my knowledge to the rest of the world of my level of play.
Game 1599919
Moves 1-5, quite standard really.
Moves 6-25, generally shuffling pieces around, improving my position.
Move 28, cleverly sacrified my rook, to lure my opponent into a false sense of security.
Move 33, knew my opponent was going to do this and lose his rook. Anticipated this from the past 25 moves or so.
I am convinced I have a win in sight.
34. Rxc2 Rd5 35. Rc6+ Kh5 36. f4 Kh4 37. Rh6#....oh buggar!
EDIT: Had to rectify a flaw in my analysis.

Originally posted by Moldy CrowAhhh, but that is where you are wrong. Through careful inspection and experience, you would notice that I have been erm...checkmated somewhere between moves 30 and 40. Although looking back, it was a forced win for me on move 3 which I failed to spot.

If you want to know what I think - and I'm sure you do because you are doing the same thing that everyone who wants to hear what I have to say does, nothing - you need to get on the GeraldM plan for improving your chess. I'm only telling you my secrets because you clearly need them more than anyone else, and this has nothing to do with you playing ability. I'm talking about what every great player has that you don't and I didn't for a long time.
That's right, I'm talking about a name. Try something Russian, or at least Russian sounding. People will fear you. Give Badanov a test run and see how you like it. My real name doesn't compare to my chess name of GeraldM and since I adopted this name my rating skyrocketed over 1300 points. How's that for results.
Originally posted by GeraldMNever thought of that. Unfortunately I cannot change my name on here. Will just have to resort to changing my real name to Mikhail Kingbackov.
