@tri-man 47 invited me but somehow i'm white

Before you move white should has an option to switch hidden in settings. Chesstime might remember you two playing in a previous tournament and switched colors from the last game.

It allows you to switch sides. If you already started you should start a new game.

Tim defeats Cranks 1-0. Very interesting game.

The key decision, in my opinion, was move 30 for black:

Chess Position against: Cranksi

He chose Qxc1, leading to a Queen vs 2 rooks endgame which was much to my advantage given the pawn discrepancy. I would have gone with Rxg4, which I believe leads to a very complicated rook endgame.

I'm the wrong guy to give you a tip on how to do it. congrats on the win.

Maybe post a screenshot to Imgur or something? You can post the PGN here but people would have to load that elsewhere. (I’d look, FWIW.)

Good idea. OK let’s try this:

[timschochet]

That worked! OK so that’s the key move. He chose Qxc1+ which leads to Queen vs 2 rooks and a win for white. I like Rxg4- I think slight advantage white but not sure. Very difficult.

Is there an option to make the post public or something like that? I haven’t done this in years. The hoops Joe makes us jump through!

Sigh. Just forget it. I give up.

Just trying to provide some insight and analysis to your position!

The crowd goes wild as Sand defeats Dezbelief.

 

[Psychopav]

Pav defeats Scoobus in a good game that was back and forth. I got lucky at the end and caught his rook in a fork with his king, and ultimately that was his undoing.

 

[shadrap]

Vermeil & I in endgame.

 

[shadrap]

Shadrap defeats Nick Vermeil. Nick had a great attack going on my King. He blundered with a Queen move and that was it. I don't think I could have repelled his attack without the blunder although I was defending well at the time.
Thanks for the game, Nick!

I had a mate in 4 and forgot to make move 1. Pretty dumb. Shadrap played well.

That has happened in the past, actually. It’s why I always ask for updates on the last couple of games each round and will continue to do so.
