[need2know]

Juxtat defeats need2know

That's the last time I watch the Superbowl, play beer pong, and play chess at the same time.  It was a bit much. 

 

[Psychopav]

Looking forward to the pgn's on those top 2 games IMO.

Trogg, I'll send your invite presently.

 

[brotherjim]

Shader, challenge me brojimluv

tim, I think I only have 1/2 point

 

[timschochet]

SackYourPieces (Sacramento Bob) wins 0-1. 

I made some errors in the middlegame and failed to see some tactics. As I wrote, he is a fine player and will be very tough to defeat.

[Psychopav]

Tim and Bobby can one of you post your pgn please?

 

[timschochet]

Tim and Bobby can one of you post your pgn please?

I'll do it if he doesn't, but his analysis (and play for that matter) is far superior to mine, so I'm hoping he'll do it. 

 

[otello]

0-1

 

[SacramentoBob]

I've been sick all week, so I haven't really done any analysis.

I squeaked out a victory - mistakes were made by both of us but it was a fun match.

I had it won twice, missed the critical move both times.  Pretty typical.

Agreed.  Our schedules did not sync well this week, my bad.  I'm more around today. Thanks to everyone for their patience.

We're just waiting on this game. 

 

[Aerial Assault]

We're just waiting on this game. 

We continue to move.  My turn now.

 

[Aerial Assault]

I anticipate being able to finish against kutta Saturday afternoon or evening if he's available. 

 

[Aerial Assault]

Kutta wins as, feeling the weight of tim on my shoulders, I inexplicably gave up a knight.  We're actually still playing, but there's no way I'm beating him down a minor piece, so just book the result.  gg kutta.
