chessloser and I had an unaesthetic slugfest, where the opening sucked. Then I won a Pawn, then an Exchange, then it was an avalanche after that.
Mr. loser also accused me of cheating, alleging the Mascot ran Fritz and fed the moves to me. This is a slap in the face; chessloser apparently thinks I’m too incompetent to cheat on my own.
I had the opportunity to watch Tom’s victory, which was quite compelling. He sacrificed an Exchange to complete powerful Queenside attack which netted him material. The material imbalance in the endgame was something like a Queen and Pawn versus Rook and Knight. l3ruce’s forces were mostly consolidated in the center and it took a while for Tom to break through. With their permission, I would like to post their game via Chess Publisher on this page.
drunknknite and l3rucewayne have a pre-arranged draw, so that should be exciting.
