Sorry,
I just got Legals(?) Mated the other day in a tournament. Not going to fall for that again. Legals Mate is harder identify but I will at least be on the lookout for it. I will most likely get back rank mated many more times due to my not paying full attention.
This also goes to show you.........never give up!

Game 4319241
I am thinking about resigning from chess after this. Altough I was constantly aware about back rank, I did the last move almost instantly because I wanted to win as faster as possible. Nice.
In this instance he blundered big and you did the sportsman thing and returned the favor.
Don't feel too bad.
It happened to me:
Game 445719

Oh and another thing..."finnish" is actually only spelled with one 'n' unless you are talking about someone from Finland and then it needs to be capitalized.
Originally posted by ivan2908That's OK, tomtom tends to be a little pedantic on occasion. An extra "n" now and then doesn't bother me at all. Maybe I'll slip a few extra letters into my postings from time to time just to see if he's awake. 😉

Your right I should...It would be just like Silmans books, always condescending! 😛
Your right 🙄
