At least 3 different times I thought I had you. Believe it or not, I missed move 33..KxN. For some reason I thought you had to recapture with the rook. That's awful
great game

Well that's funny because I missed you blocking my queen check with your bishop at move 32. I was thinking I was threatening mate that whole time there. But I was so concerned about that queen/bishop mate that I was happy to lose the exchange there. Very nice game.At least 3 different times I thought I had you.

Eventually. We'll probably take a little break and then see.

Funny that you should mention it, I did give it another go with that same opening with Tim!
Fared better than the first game, but still went down in flames in the end.
Having said that, I had that same result playing as black vs. Tim, so make of that what you will.

I think in that last game you had a winning advantage had you not missed a couple of key moves. If I have time later I will post it here.

AAA and Abraham are in the end game. Should be tomorrow or Wednesday I would imagine.

Not sure if Abraham noticed but I used a little know play called the Peens Gambit. When finished it was just me with two Queens. It still took me a while to finish but from what I understand that's part of the Peens Gambit too.
*Note - you can only play the Peens Gambit as white.

Yeah that's why Peens isn't in this tournament. What happens when I assign him black? He couldn't handle it.

Yeah but it doesn't much matter Kasparov. Mednis and those like him play a level of chess such that if you make a poor opening or poor move it will be instantly exploited by the other side who will likely win quickly. That's not my level, nor I would guess the level of anyone in this tournament. When Dancing Bones plays that opening I can think to myself that's weird and probably wrong, but I have NO idea how to translate that thought into a win. And not only that but I'm going to be far more susceptible to any cheap tactical traps that might arise than a high level chess player would. So if he's comfortable with that opening, why not? It won't be successful at a higher level but it might work for him here.

Got up a knight early, and was able to maintain the advantage to the end. Fun game - thought I had him a couple of times earlier in the game, and he squirmed out of it.
