How is it that it is wrong for one person to say that to call a 2nd person a loser is wrong, but then the 2nd person calls the 1st person a loser?

Anyway, Move 43b could have been Rc2 to c3 - c8 with checkmate on the next move. King and Rook are checkmating partners against a lone king. Practicing the basic styles of King and Rook checkmates against a lone king can be useful in such cases as game # 1644929

Terrible game. To be honest I think you should have resigned.

As far as I'm concerned, the end result validated his decision not to resign.

Game 1564330

My 2nd favorite game here. I had a few chances for improvements. (Saccing the exchange wasn't necessary), however considering the caliber of the opponent I was pleased with the result.
