Lost 0.

A few more wins and I will crack the elusive 2000 barrier.
What a choice the Grob was?

These 2 games will be wins before the weekend is over getting the extra 30 rating points needed, [g ...[text shortened]... /threadid] and you too can get there.

Edit: and another fantastic Grob win Game 3085150
I really thought that banned players games didnt give points to their opponents? I notice this isnt the case as I see several ppl getting pts for t/oing Steve66

but I thought it became an unrated win for the non cheater?

Is it different for tourney games? I know I didnt get pts when a 3(a) was banned when he was playing me with both his accounts.

In one game my g4 pawn is currently residing on the f5 square, supported by the e4 pawn and my queen! 😲

Sometimes suicide missions fail.:'(

Now thats an idea! Why don't you challenge 20 people to it and see how it goes. You can then post a thread "How to get to 2000 using the Orangutang"

If I lost to you that would be unfortunate but I don't think that will happen. Does it look as if I am losing Game 3091829?

Against Korch, well thats a different matter. He seems to have the better of my Grob in Game 3119448 but he is rated 250 points higher than me. I must have screwed up the middle game - can't blame the opening.

It's worse.

I've got a game against it.

Gee thanks for developing my kingside pieces and creating a half open file against your king, which is no closer to castling than at the start.

Don't forget moving a piece twice in the first 3 moves.

It was a pretty sucky opening by both sides, then he sacked a piece for an attack that never really got going.

Then resigned. :'(

Not a real Grob.

Real Grobs are 2...Bxg4.

Which I'm sucking in.😳

the grob is the sickest, most retarted opening ever...
it is an insult to the intelligent chess community and should be outlawed...
1. ... d5
white fianchettoes, and black does not take pawn...
pointless gambit...
if black declines, he can rip into white like a hot knife thru butter...

I resigned because I don't particularly like being on the defensive for the entire middle/endgame while you mop-up you sadist!😛😀

You can't be a decent chess player without being partly sadistic.
