well you gotta remember that i blundered away a won position.. not too much to brag about on your end .. though I can't say you didnt' play well, you beat me pretty powerfully.

in that game I just mentioned I don't castle at all and I still come up with a brilliant win...!!!
brilliant no.
I can bring up this game we're playing right now for brilliant.
but I'll save that for after I have verified the soundness of my move, and the game is no longer in progress.
It shows the importance of bishop vs. knight and rook to open file (that rook exchange was key, and I would not be winning had I not forced it on c8. it was practically forced, because the rook had no better square!)
Originally posted by rubberjaw30the thing that you are missing though is that if I manage to exhange our passed pawns off then I will be winning because knights are better even in open games when pawns are only on one side.

You guys are prolific rivals, I dont usually play so many games against the same person in a short space of time.
Who is winning your series of games?
ih8sens leads by a bit.
rubberjaw vs. dumdum232
rubberjaw leads one win to a draw, with another win expected shortly
ih8sens vs. dumdum232
ih8sens, by a lot!

just keep looking, i'm sure you don't even see my move yet, but I have faith you'll find it.
and when you do find it, it'll feel like you were standing on top when they knocked down the Berlin Wall
