Analyse that game with engine and you will see how many times both of you could play better.

It doesn't seem to support the idea of gaining or losing tempi... seems to convey the message "don't blunder".

No...I made one blunder and it was early middlegame, I was easily winning at the end.

Oh, never mind. 😳

I challenge you to two 3/14 games. Take them or leave them.

I already said in the other thread that I have too many games in progress - anyway they wouldn't be KG games because I've been playing 1.d4 lately.

BTW, neither of us caught the blunder, it was rather difficult to see.

I've told them not to add new challenges for me.
