I know, I'm just whining

dropping from 1475 to 1200 has been pretty depressing though. like Ryan Howard without the money

ok more like that time Alex S. Gonzalez retired

In which lethal check mates me one move before I was gonna mate him

I worked out a lot of the scenarios and was pretty confident that I'd get that attack in before you could get to me.

I'm really only like a 1600 player. I don't play the 3 day games too often and had some fluky wins where my rating jumped like 35 points, so it's rather inflated.

I'd be shocked if you dropped even half a point to us peons.

the final will almost assuredly be lethal v prattrules

I think I messed up. Instead of 27. h4, I think 27. Nxe6 is a quicker mate. I dunno, I'm looking forward to this tournament.

IMO, Nxe6 is a costly move for black. It opens up a line for the queen. Td should have won. As soon as white moves Nxe6, black moves Rxg3+. After Rxg3 and Pxg3, white's queen needs to protect checkmate on the f2 square. Strong advantage then to black.

Totally forgot that his Q was sitting there. Hopefully I noticed at the time and took that into account.

I'm betting on td vs pratt in the finals.

sent soren an invite for the 8th opening in the tourney since I think he actually plays chess.

Is the android app totally frigged for anyone else since the last update?

by **Houshphandzadeh** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 12:10:20

yeah it's been terrible

by **td11** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 12:11:13

It's gonna make me timeout in a bunch of games

by **Houshphandzadeh** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 12:12:02

yeah, there have been a handful of games lately where I made a move, thought it was fine but turns out it didn't take and I lost

sucks

by **Frank Grimes** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 12:49:24

it's been fine for me so far

by **Frank Grimes** » Tue Jul 29, 2014 15:20:24
