Kutta played fantastic through the opening - kept the position closed as I desperately tried to open it due to having the bishop pair.

As tim will tell you, I eventually get frustrated in closed positions and decide to go kamikaze with my HPawn. I did that and it's what turned the game according to the analysis (even though, apparently, I executed it incorrectly)

25. h4 and I'm already losing convincingly according to the analysis :mellow:

Good 1 Kutta

Rematch me if you want to play again for fun

Yeah, that was a fun one. I'm a little bummed because I feel like I blew it after you pushed the pawns, but that was a really tough game. Very well played :thumbup:

i've invited abraham like 3 days ago, no response, maybe he's out fo the country...
All right, Otis isn't responding either, so send spOOfy a challenge. If he doesn't respond, I'll have to give you a bye win for the round, sorry.
i uninvited abraham and invited spOOfy...

eta: game started with spOOfy

Good. Otis and Abraham are out.
I like your no nonsense approach this time around. It will only make future tournaments better.
I think not allowing riff-raff like myself in the next one would help too. ;) I think I'm going to actually bother to study over the next few weeks - between you, Tim and Bender I'm tired of getting my ### kicked.
You were close to beating me in the last game we played.

I know but yet you still beat me :) I get way too impatient - I see what I think is a good move and just go. I need to learn to analyze the board more. I do need to study and learn some kind of opening/defense that I can use. I just move #### around and you guys make me look foolish most of the time.

 
Thanks. Shuke and I average 6 moves a day for the last two years. . I'm definitely on the app all the time.

That's me too, except replace "impatient" with "ignorance".

I'll step in and play, if needed.

I haven't played since I think 2 tournaments ago but at least I snapped back again after the first match. Being patient and analyzing the board more is obviously important but a big thing I try to focus on is what my opponent is thinking. Why is he doing what he's doing? I used to just think about my game. I'm sure it's a noob revelation, but it's a big step.
