Hey everyone, I started out 16-0-1, Really good. And ive been pinned against alot of 1900 rated players, which is great, but whats wierd is, im lossing to the 1350 players and beating the 1900 rated players. My bad luck started against MarkoKrale, i was beating him and blundered, okay well, hes 1750 rated, no biggie, but we had a drawed position, and im like awesome, good recovery, we moves 3 times in repetition, thinking that the draw would be automatic, and so i offered a draw and it said make a move, so i did lol, i moved a different piece not thinking anything, but it doesnt automatically claim unlike i thought, and he moves and took my piece, so much for being a wise guy, and finding myself a pawn down in the end game, i had to resign eventually. Then playing a 1351 player, i got a whoopin, i mean i did my opening properly, i had a good middle game going, all of a sudden, about 10 moves of utter beauty, in that time he destroyed my kingside, had all his peices active in the attack, and totally crushed me! Okay...wow! two games of bad luck...Facing MarkoKrale again, my opening was great, and i was up in the midgame, throwing together an amazing attack, and for some reason outta nowhere in the middle of the attack i threw away my knight, like what the h*ll was i thinking, and without the knight the attack fell apart, and i lost. Against Yozzer (1920) i beat him twice, and we were playing two more games, all of a sudden, i leave a pin open on my queen/king with his bishop! I was like, since when have i ever done that, had to resign that one. Im lossing two games to Cheshire Cat (1425) who i took it easy on and now he is whipping the floor in one game on me. my record is now, 32-13-10 from the sudden change, i dont mind lossing, but wierd, one day your moves are superb and your tactics are amazing, then all of a sudden, boom! you make 8 blunders in one day, and then find yourself with a ton of new losses. My avg opponent is over 1750, which is great I love the challenge, but i wish i could beat the players under 1750 instead of the ones over somtimes, my rating gets destroyed. Oh well, hows everyone elses week of chess. Hopefully ill be able to recover in the next couple days.
Regards,
Matt

Had some other ups and downs too, depends on how focused I am maybe, or how focused my opponents are, or whatever.
Originally posted by ItsYouThatIAdoreI don't a lot of the other players you just mentioned, but never underestimate the Chesire cat. I have played him and he's one game up on me and the ones where I won, were ridicously hard fought.

well i know this now, hes very good, happy to be playing him, maybe scratch a win and draw from his so it wont kill my rating, it suck when your extra focus goes towards players like him, and then you dont have the time to focus against David Tebb who i have two games against, lossing one now because of a bad blunder.
lol Arrakis, i still got you good in the other game, 1-0-1 i hope we can play again and you can take some points, or maybe i can learn and improve my play off such a worthy opponent, and i got the Cat in one game finished, and some how i pulled a miracle and have a draw in the other game, so now ill be 1-0-1 against the worthy cat!
