It's not a mate, Ka1 is White's only move. The point is that the Queen on e2 is now lost after Ka1 Nxe2. You probably are too high. 😀

gotcha. i thought the game said that it was checkmate, i was about to say something is up with the checkmate program lol. 😀

yeah... i usually roast up right after i make my moves, and i get on the forums right after i make my moves...probably not the best order to do things... 😀

Thanks for the tip.

Here's a fairly typical Dragon game: its amazing how often a single tempo is the difference in Dragon games.

FINALLY the book arrived! first impression is pretty sweet... now I'll just sweat a little, and then go lose me some blitz games, back to book find out what I did wrong, etc... rinse & repeat.

blitz and re-blitz!

Personally, if I were Korch I wouldn't want Adorea behind me shouting "Just wait Korch I'm coming!!!!" But that's just me.

I hope you like the book as much as I do! At the very least I get a chuckle at the awesome cover every time. 😀

hahah, yeah. it's right up there with timothy budd's 'introduction to object oriented programming', which has by far the silliest animal cover for a serious book ever:

now if my opponents would just stop avoiding my dragon with all kinds of sillyness...
