Chess Tournament 2025- Round 4 Pairings posted (3 Viewers)

Pav beats nysfl2.

My 2 blunders beist his 1 because of timing and position. He had me in a tough spot until an unfortunate move on his part opened up a tactic that turned the tide.

The moral of the story is it's perhaps better to blunder early than late, at least at our skill level.

Ya - I thought I was in good position until pav organized a strong attack that gave me lots of opportunities to make a mistake. It was a good game.
 
Zow vs tim draw.

Tough Queen and rook endgame. I wish my endgame tactics were better. I’m really awful at it and sure to blow it. So a draw is a good result.

I frankly thought your tactics were fine. :)

I followed up with you a bit in the chat. Still didn't see an obvious line for either of us. If you load up on the b file than I think I could get an attack going eventually since the pressure would be off the e file. Game may have opened but assuming no blunders I see nothing immediate or obvious.
 
Tri-man defeats @shuke. I was positioning to attack along his king side, and when he castled to that side, I was able to put him on the defensive and he didn't get a chance to recover.

You'd have been a good Russian commander in WWII - you have the human wave strategy on the chessboard down. It's a terrifying spectacle.

On my end BlackCrowes and I are well into the game. I'm sure slow due to being slammed at work, but hopefully will finish this weekend. He's tooling me so far. I feel like Southampton playing Liverpool - bunker, bunker, bunker!
 
Chaz McNulty defeats Psychopav.

Good game.

Very even start (e4 e5). His dark square bishop got blocked in and it allowed me to put my knight on a very good square. Neither of us castled and I was breaking through on the King side. He had the numbers on the Queen side, but didn't have the time to pawn storm. Even with the numbers and pressure, I couldn't figure out a check mating strategy (my end game needs work), until he hung his Queen.
