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.
Sure. I think the game demonstrates the folly of my constant overconfidence when it comes to assaults on my king piece. I had previously informed my opponent of this overconfidence, and so he used it to cheat obviously(just kidding, tom has had an irritating habit even prior to the game of beating me more often than I him. I think God likes him a lot.). This could drastically reduce the odds of that pre-arranged draw being accepted from near nil… to nil.
On a side note, if the game gets posted I would appreciate opinions on what I now think was a big mistake in moving my knight to the side early to trap the bishop. Also if anyone thinks the response to the bishop’s move to the center could have been better,(like by capturing) let me know. And now all five recent comments are from l3rucewayne. I knew it would happen someday if I kept talking too much.

Happy Birthday, Donnie! In case you didn’t know. you share your birthday with Clyde “Bonnie and Clyde” Barrow, Steve McQueen and…Star Jones. Oh, and let’s not forget Chip McCaw, “volleyball setter.”

Thanks to the well-wishers. I will properly respond to everyone later. I have not slept consistently or sufficiently for a while now and it’s finally catching up with me.

Hey guys and gals, Tom and I are set for 4:30 EDT tomorrow if anybody wants to watch the battle!
Comment by Wahrheit | 28 March 2008
Re: cheating allegations. I’m not involved, but I’ve caught Donnie in the act, which says a lot. The fact that he’s 3-3 even though he’s cheating says something else.
