Game 1087620

Svin1's study of A.I. didn't help him save the losing line which is the "From Gambit".

Another game where black goes down a piece and loses the battle for the middle. To his credit Svin1 gave it a good fight, but he couldn't get over that piece disadvantage.

I'm up 5-4 with two more tough games left to go...

I would, but you are at your limit and I have plenty of games...maybe another time.

Well the score is back to even (5-5).

Game 1085672

This was quite a fun game. It quickly became a 2N vs 2B game.
Dyl went the route of "developing" instead of the quick attack (4...g5).

Any comments are welcome, as I don't have time to fully go over this game right now.

Only 1 game left in the challenge, and it sure seems like I'll be finishing down 5-6.

The From Gambit Challenge still sits at 5-5.

I've been staring at the skull in the final game for the past few weeks. Since I have no plans to timeout ohfreak; I'm going to call it finished and a "success". Thanks to all my opponents. I received some spankings for sure.

The final in progress game.
Game 1085974

Thanks again,

It will soon be official.

I am sponsoring a "From's Gambit Accepted" tournament.
I chose the "Accepted" line because I'm sponsoring it and I didn't want a bunch of games turning into the King's Gambit.



Winner Prize: Choice of 1 white or grey red hot pawn tshirt from here:

I'll put up a new post once its created. Should be a wild one...

I sooooooo want to join, but I'd be slaughtered by the 1/14 time control🙁 Looking forward to follow the games though.
