Wanna know what you think about my opponent's losing comments?

You have 2 accounts? From the "Terms of Service" :

Lugnut/Moosebreath needs to realize that no matter how far up the food chain you go there is always some players who would rather kill any actual play in a postion.

Thank you very much Peter Leko for being the inspiration of patzers everywhere.

Lugnut\Moosebreath, I ain't your retarded son aight so really wasn't necessary to bring your watered down game on my behalf; your 2 acc excuse don't mean crap, on either one i'd still have whooped your dumba55 and WON...

Sweet profile, dude.

Hi. Why not 20.Rb8+

I would have seen Rb8+ ideas when I gave up the Rook.

(I cannot recall exactly what I was thinking, doubt if saw the actual
Queen sac idea till move 20. The Queen sac in that position
is a bog standard mating pattern).

But now 20.Rb8+ sucks because you are only seeing 21...Rxb8.



20.Rb8+ Bd8 and suddenly the win is ugly.

The chessboard is your canvas 20.Rb8+ is like giving Mona Lisa freckles,
buck teeth and bloodshot eyes.

And what's wrong with freckles and buck teeth? 😛

( 20.Rb8+ Bd8 21.Bd6+ Kg8 22.Qe8# )

Yuk! I would never have played that. I would have offered a draw first.
That is an awful line.

Never over the board, during or after a game.
He was always the perfect gent even in defeat.

Please remember that.

Well, I agree your line is more sadis... er, creative.

And you're right about Bobby, a gentleman OTB.

"Well, I agree your line is more sadis... er, creative. "

But that is just it. It's not creative.

I have/had seen the idea before. I did not invent that mate idea OTB.
Every combination I have ever played I have seen the root idea
somewhere before. Either in a game or puzzle. But I had seen it
before.

That is why good players struggle with set mate in two problems.
There is no pattern to pull from the memory banks.
It's a unique never been seen before by a chess player.

Show me any mate in two from a game or game like postion I'll get it
within one minute max. Most within moments.

This: (composed by N.Macleod who I actually played in the 70's....I lost)


White to play and mate in 2. (not 3 or 4 move...but 2 moves).
This took me a lot lot longer than a minute and it has game like
motifs in there.

It's why storing patterns is so importnat. You cannot expect the brain
to pull out of the hat something it has never seen before.

Once, perhaps once, I saw a mate in a game of mine that I could not recall.
(White was suffering badly with flu in this game, the controller warned
him about coughing). It's my Knights again that do the damage.
I cannot play without them.
