Bah,

This whole post is clearly a bid to shame Gaskit into a rematch.

It doesn't look like it's going to work. You're not getting too much sympathy, it seems.

I suppose you meant Knc4?

And I suppose that you meant Nc4+.

You'll get used to it.. and become ruthless yourself! I can't see how you can play Rc4+ though 🙂 Also where is the mate in 2????

The mate in 2 would have been nice. Nc4+ Ka4 b3#

Can't his opponent use 'en passant' in reply to b3???

the pawn being captured must move two squares forward to be captured en passant

Dear Ben Mossberg,
Why, exactly, do you care? As I pointed out in another thread, This is a chess site for fun. We are here to try to better our chess skills and have fun playing a fun game at the same time. Why are you letting this get to you? Anyone who looks through your games will see that one, see your two move mate, and also see on the side that the loss is due to a timeout. Obviously, you were the better player.
Also, really, how much did your rating drop after that loss? Concern for rating could be the only reason you're flipping out over this matter. Ratings on this site aren't really reflective of playing ability in some cases anyway. Several players, both on and off this site, say that, on a good day, I play around 1500-1550 level, which is quite a bit from my rating on this site of 1397. (One reson for my lower rating is that I try to play stronger players, which I lose to. More importantly than the outcome of the game, however, is that by playing better players, my own skills grow, as I discover my mistakes. That, however, is for another thread a different time.) Ratings aren't that important on this site, so you shouldn't let that bother you.
Furthermore, you should take comfort in knowing for yourself that you won the game! Regardless of the fact that you lost on time (which is your fault) you out played your opponent! That should produce a happy feeling in anyone, not a sense of needing revenge in some rematch. Get over it, and pat yourself on the back for a game well done.

I don't think that shaming Gaskit into a rematch would work. If you look he doesn't have any forum posts so he's probably not reading this thread.

The post that was quoted here has been removed

Yeah, it looks kinda like the Wookie from Star Wars, except it has a "V" shaved into its chest. 😲

That's a cryin' shame. He's missing some darn good entertainment!
