Damn it! I've just resigned against CypherOz on clan league 🙁

What happen next? do I take back my 6 points or not?
No Bruce, we dont get our points back unfortunately.

I think if you're an attacking player then taking the wing pawn, then the trapping pawn is a reasonably good ploy (only if on the side of the opponent's castled K!) all other things being equal.
It really depends what other options you have, how strong the opposition is & if you are at least equal in material, development & space control before the B sac for the 2 pawns.
Originally posted by ShinidokiFischer was not infalible. He could have felt the pressure of the moment. Fritz would never feel the pressure nor would it lose patience or be distracted.
I belive Fisher once made that exact mistake against Spassky!
(but yes, most human players would not play that)
^edit --- hehe, I should read more carefully, 2 people have already alluded to this! damn it!
Originally posted by cludiWell I am quite worried then. How could Wilfred be banned if you were unsure that he had a computer-like style? Mods reported him and didn't know if he was an engine user...should you only report engine use if you are very sure...100% sure? 😕
I don't know and, to be honest, I don't care.
All I care about is gathering enough evidence to ban the players cheating here...
This is the only banning I have felt uncomfortable with.
If you compare Wilfried's games from chesshere.com:

To the ones he played on this site:

I think you'd have to agree that he showed a remarkable improvement in his playing ability for someone in their fifties.

If so then a rating of 2300 seems improbable as you don't improve from 1800 to 2300 at the age of 54.
In fact at that age it is pretty hard to show dramatic and sustained improvement.
Originally posted by Dragon FireI'll remember not to improve too much then. If we are comparing ratings from different sites then the comparison is meaningless. There is no way to standardise the ratings from the two sites so a rating of 1800 there may well equate to a rating of 2300 here.
