You two are complete nutters!!
Nice photo, Legion. Personally, I would relish the chance to live in such a place. Can't be too much noise beyond the natural elements around you. Really good.
Damn Legion...I expect at any moment to see The various silhouettes of Zombies come plodding over the horizon of that picture bro .....Dark but Eye catching at the same time.Looks like a tornado coming![]()
It was a good night tonight, ended up 3 wins apiece and a draw.
Legion is attempting to dispute one of his losses by claiming he was offline for 5 mins, which just happened to coincide with my having forced a dominant position.
Final game was great though, I had a light meterial lead, a couple pawns but he managed to force one of his own to the 2nd rank and threatened a queen so I couldn't advance and it ended in a draw.
It's good that we're so evenly matched I think, every game has been keenly contested.
I offered to cancel yes indeed and you declined saying you had a losing position anyway, you denying this now?
Regardless I don't really think any of these early results matter much anyway. We are both rusty. I've not played at all in around 4 years and you havn't played for a while either.
But I think we have both improved greatly over the two nights, last night's game especially were excellent with virtually all of them going down to the wire.
My current assessment is that my overall strategy is better, I prefer my pawn structure and I can usually force myself a pawn up in most games but I think you are better at the end game than me. Twice last night I had a material advantage, in one case three pawns up but you still managed to draw in that game by pushing your pawn almost to within queening.
Some of your openings have admittedly troubled me as well and I stumbled a couple of times. However those mistakes are now lessons learned.
In future I will adopt a Nimzowitch style with fianchetto bishops occupying deadly diagonals and me attacking the center indirectly as I believe that will throw you off your game.
Either way I think it will be a couple weeks before we are both in full swing again.
It's good to meet a keen player regardless and all of our games have been incredibly close. My superiority will prove over time though![]()
No Bilbo, I am not denying you tried to cancel the game. I said we could go on, though I told you it wouldn't count as my mind got off the game and the time loss flustered me. You yourself said the game wouldn't be counted against me. It was a close game, and getting good, though I think you had the better position to be honest. Getting the time loss and my mind off the game itself got me flustered.
I don't know if we'll get to be friends or mortal enemies with these tests of will, but it will be fun either wayI'd rather fight the best than someone below me, as you don't learn anything fighting lesser opponents, at least not in chess. Good times Bilbore Baggins, good times indeed

No matter, I will win the game back again now anyway. I await you in the starter shack as per usual.![]()
