Originally posted by orfeoThat has to be my target in the 2nd round, i.e. to avoid finishing bottom as I have no chance of making the final group, but for once I can play to the best of my ability and still finish bottom, so absolutely no pressure or expectation.
Group 23 is the first to be totally finished.
While it didn't really have a bearing upon the result (which was decided weeks ago), I must say I'm personally very pleased that I succeeded in punching above my weight - ranked 5th but finished 3rd.

Because good players on this site don't make mistakes or not the obvious ones.
"Queen sac" in move 18, that's a pretty obvious mistake, isn't it??

It helps me with my earlier message that very good players, like yourself, can make mistakes and that it might be worth to keep on playing untill that point of no change on a win or draw.
Originally posted by cludiNot quite as good as your queen sac, but how about my "brilliant" bishop sac on move 18 in Game 1687453. My opponent must've had to pick himself up off the floor laughing. Sometimes you can just look at a position for too long and end up completely missing the point.

Originally posted by cludihere's a should be queen sac that I got away with because he missed it, I knew it was there, even said to myself whatever you do don't move the knight before moving/covering your queen, but then moved my knight (see move 16)Game 1689032

By the way I know I don't belong in that elite class, but it's a missed opportunity for an opponent rated much lower than me.

My immediate goal is to eliminate errors out of my game.

Quick question regarding timebank; what is the most amount of timebank you have remaining in any of your games? In one of my games against jonbecket I have used 0.4 of a day 😛
Now for the pain.
Edit: And an overdue drop in ranking.
