Hopefully I'm somewhat better competition.

I guess we'll find out.

I see.

Yes, apparently you do...

(I almost always start off with that move against a player I haven't played before. You passed the test.)

For convenience, I will be adding the

These games are a perfect example of why I love Chess: I love watching different play styles interact. I also love a good queen hunt.

Rabbits are faster than Bishops.

I've never been one to turn down a free meal.

I'm feeling claustrophobic...

Whew, safe at last.

Yea, take a breather.

I'm betting there's about a 90% chance I'm going to lose the game at this point. You've capitalised too much already.

Want to just go to a new one, in the interest of time?

We can keep rolling for a few more moves. Not quite ready to concede yet.

Er, I mean, NEVER SURRENDER!

Not the capture I expected.

Postby **Stardust** » Fri Apr 05, 2013 10:12 pm

Really? Freeing my black bishop is pretty key to my future plans and it's not like you're going to be giving me a chance to make dumb pawn moves from here on out.

Just feels like you're conceding any stake you had in the center, and it's going to cramp your already strained development (although there may just not be any good way to fix that, to be fair).

I think this is fine.

Of course I'm conceding my stake. Anywhere else I moved my queen would have seen her killed. I knew that was inevitable when I said I had a 90% chance of losing way back when.

Let's see if this helps...
