I'm inordinately proud of this game, because Talem is MUCH better than I, yet I beat him. Game 789783
He beat me in the other, of course. 🙂 I actually could have had the other game too but for two bad blunders -- the fist which gave me even material instead of winning a piece (I think -- it was an incredbly complicated and sharp tactical position -- Game 789788 -- 15. Rxf5 would have won a piece, non?)... then steered through an insane desparado sequence and... hung a knight. Whoops.
But still! Winning one and losing one against a player 300 points better than me! Yay!

Originally posted by !~TONY~!... Rb7 was vaguely intentional. I had planned to sac the exchange sooner or later to simplify, and his knight was pretty well wedged in my position. I had that idea in my head, I briefly cursed myself for playing it, but decided it would be fine. :-) Nice of him to let me get a pawn for it too.

Originally posted by paultopiaI thought that that was what you were going for, but I wasn't sure exactly. I tend to keep all the material I can just to be a butt, but I understand the logic.

Hey Paul
I have one to share that I won over a better player. He pretty much choked me to death in his game as white though. Game 781378

Originally posted by KWCoronaWhat a great game. I almost cringed when you sent your queen the long way around, but it seems to have worked out rather well. Congratulations on that win.
