Nice little KG win against DoG yesterday

No perfect play at all but such a super attacking opening that it sometimes works

Yeah you've played a very solid game.
AZH is a lot of fun to play. He went for a hyper-modern defense.

UC too strong. I think game over now. I miscalculated that rook could take knight there but bishop did not let that happen

Again the engine doesn't much like our play but I found AZH very hard work to face. If he hadn't blundered a piece early on I reckon I'd have struggled to keep up.

Well played UC

much higher scores than I usually get
i think it's quite tough to see that 22. Lxc3 wins AZH a knight even with 23. bxc3, which is the part the engine really goes haywire at

Marcuss beating me with 97.9% accuracy. I thought I must have ****ed up badly somewhere but my play isn't even that bad.
I think my biggest mistake was not trading pawns before starting the Hail Mary attack on his King, but the engine barely notices.

Looks to me that white got a small but clear advantage out of the opening - control of the centre, space advantage and lead in development - and just didn't let go of it.

Pretty pleased with nabbing a rook off UC with a poisoned pawn. Gonna be an intriguing endgame

Yeah haha I missed a fork, forgot my king existed after playing up material for so long. Not a very even endgame, I'll just be hoping for a blunder.

I'll challenge any of you chess nerds to a game.
Rules are :
1.) There is only one knight on the board.
2.) Both players take turns to move the knight to a square that hasn't been visited so far.
3.) The player who is left without a legal move loses.
To make things easier, I'll even let any of you go first and pick any point to start.
