Nice engine...

...was my opponent's comment after the clock ran out on this rather unrefined blitz game. I dunno, whatever happened to civility and a disingenuous "gg"?

You played 33....Rxg4 here


Typical blitz error. You intended after 34 Bxg4 Qg1+ winning the Bishop.
I'm sure no engine would miss Bxg4 is a CHECK! (which is what you missed.)

Some people need any excuse they can find for why they lose, and engine use accusations are simply a manifestation of that need.

I just wish there was a way to know about people like this ahead of time, so they could be avoided.

I always switch messages off.
Last night Lady Luck sat in my lap and I could do no wrong, I got lost
positions and chisled my way out winning every game.
I wonder what kind of messages I would have got.

I'm White.
