Originally posted by flexmoremy king still holds the centre, but ... steve regained his pawn (i tempted his rook to come down to its seventh rank where it will be vulnerable to attack😉 ) ... then he actually went up a pawn (which opens a line on his kingside, so i can attack his king 😉 ) .... careful not to comment on any games in progress Game 872218
2-0 up so far ....thanks to early resignation by omnislash,
and 1 more in the bag:
i am a pawn up against steveC, so i am winning on material .... and i have position too! my king is dominating the central files 😕

Well, I just won my second tournament game today and I'm doing fairly good in my others.
this is not a champ. game .... but i am interested ... i cannot fathom why you resigned ....can you please explain it to me ... i am not a very good player.
I was overloaded with games and I wanted to make room for more games for my clans. It was not because I was losing [we we're actually tied] and I didn't think I wanted a 14/21 siege board.
I have no regrets unless you guys really wanted me to stay in it? Of course, if I won, then I would have resigned to the next person who challenged me....it's just I have no use for a 14/21 siege board. I didn't realize this till too late.
You're a good enough player, flexmore, to realize that I had no chess reason to resign.
no offence, but chess slayer had a good reason, no matter what he played he was a pawn down and because of the position, he has to chose either king side or queen side, if he losses the pawn facing his queen he is under a more direct attack...as for the h-pawn if he losses that, soo the g will fall too, meman has a clear adv and i would say eventually wins, a great game though!

Originally posted by DustnrogersYes, dustnrogers is right about that. I'm 4-0 in the 2005 Championship though 🙂

ok Im 8-0 now in jepoardy of actually losing a game. Some type of glitch moved wrong piece, not sure how but second time I've had a glitch. In a thematic tournament I wasn't able to castle and my opponent was but oh well I will fight through. This time it cost me a knight for nothing but against a 1300 player I'll probably still win or draw at worse. I've played a good bit this weekend so am now up in all my other games in the tournament. Guess we'll see what happens with that one bad one.

I knew this was in at least 1 other thread. Game 502661. I found that in the chess forum.
