Great game!! It's one of the best games I ever seen here.
I'm glad we can see it all live and in color 😉

these games seem to have tricks in them that i can see but did not know till i saw them, especially the game against kingcaptured - it has a positional element which is totally new to me ... that i will now never forget for the rest of my life!

As for Kingcaptured's games, this one below is extremely entertaining. I showed it to Canadian international master Lawrence Day and his comment was "Wow, what a major crazy game! Hard to believe that a queen and two rooks could be such a futile attacking force."
Warning: playing the game over rapidly may cause you to have a giggling fit. Watch the white king march to victory!

Originally posted by Chuck BrownNow, that is some game indeed! Beautifully judged knight sacrifice to obtain three connected freepawns, but under higly risky conditions. Two bishops overpowering two rooks. Great chess. Also from the black side, the bishop sac on f4 was very risky, but an attractive attempt to force a kingside attack.
