gotcha. i thought the game said that it was checkmate, i was about to say something is up with the checkmate program lol. 😀

yeah... i usually roast up right after i make my moves, and i get on the forums right after i make my moves...probably not the best order to do things... 😀

Thanks for the tip.

Here's a fairly typical Dragon game: its amazing how often a single tempo is the difference in Dragon games.

I hope you like the book as much as I do! At the very least I get a chuckle at the awesome cover every time. 😀
