[White "Dewi_Jones"] [Black "ivanchess2"][WhiteElo "1298"] [BlackElo "1442"]

My only defence is that it was a quick game and only for fun, but it was the final game of a tournament, and I went into it on 3.5/4. Not the best warm up to my first club championship game which is on Monday against a 110 ECF rated player (by my calcualtions 1530 ELO).

Skip to the last couple of moves if you'd like to laugh at me 🙂.

I'll look at it by Sunday night and try and give my best shot at an analysis, as it's a while since I've been flamed on here, maybe the analysis will do me more good as I prepare for the club champs!

Ah well!

That was a gift to him. But like you said a quick game.

Surely a lack of manners on my opponents part not to resign ;-)

I know, even I laugh when I click play on the pgn and watch me advance my pawns like a smug git, then wham! 😀

The lesson to be learned, one that every experienced player has absorbed from their earliest days in the game, is to be alert at all times to the security of your K. Two obvious threats are: back row mates & battery mates (eg Q+B aimed at h7). Of course, mate ends the game.

In this case, the black pawn on f3 offers colossal potential for disaster, as we see. Yet simple remedies were available many moves before the end. Time scramble or not, the danger position did not suddenly creep up on you.

My advice - to focus your mind on priorities - is this: treat every terminal threat to your K as if it were an axe aimed at your dick. You'll move out of the way fast enough then 😛

Well, I grant women can work on their own metaphor. But a metaphor is needed to capture the peril and the urgency of response.
