Originally posted by Diet CokeDrop as many pieces as possible especially if by doing so you can be mated. Ideally force your opponent to make that winning capture because that is not too difficult for him to see.
Game 2772421
Like this?
Also now a checkmate in under 20.
I wish all my opponents were this generous.
Originally posted by Dragon FireThat is a good way to lose. It still work for me. Night owls should only play moves as soon as they have awaken in the morning. You may try clicking a move and move the mouse control to the move button and study the positon. Sometimes you may have a response reaction and click the move.
Suggestions please! My first.
[b]1. Never spend time on your games. 5 seconds a move is more than enough.
All you bright fellows lets hear your suggestions here rather than in the threads about improving.[/b]

btw coke, i find that it's more effective to trade a knight for the dark squared bishop and generally leave the light squared one (it can potentially be quite a BAD bish while to g7 one thrives)
Originally posted by Diet Cokeonce again, I gotta agree with cms over there. The AD is way more positional (and consequently slower. Kinda like comparing queen pawn games and king pawn games) than the sharp, tactical "dragon proper"
To slow
In other words, with the dragon, it's more likely that when you make a mistake, you'll self-destruct (especially when you're NOT playing something as slow as correspondance) But I suppose that it can yield greater rewards.
