I've made a few mistakes, been a bit lucky so far. wouldn't be surprised if I drop 2 of 3 in a stretch. But that said, I do think better play usually wins.
Had NN1188 on the ropes...so much so he offered me the draw. I declined....sh*t all over myself and he wins.
This is my last day of chess for a week. Not accepting any more challenges, need to focus on work/weekend and not conditional moves for a bit.
I've admitted on here that you're a beast on the chess board. That game was my national championship. Since I haven't been there before, I can't act like I've been there before. Next time (if there is one), I'll act like I've been there before.Ball and LR, feel free to post the other 15 games between the two of you. I blundered, thankfully that's the worst thing that's happened to me today.
