Yeah, I couldn't believe it! That's a lesson against complacency I suppose, checkmated by pawns! :laugh4:Quote:

I'm developing a taste for the Sicilian defense.
Yeah, you've just failed my Blitzkrieg. :stars:Quote:

When you're ahead by such a wide margin, and you can trap someone's King, always remember to give the king two spaces to move back and forth in.
And when you queen or do anything that might affect the coverage of the board, be sure you are not taking squares away from the king.
Stalemate is easy to avoid. Just let your opponent breathe and he will choke himself to death.
Sweating over the game with Pizzaguy! Bishops vs. Knights game...
The endgame will be challenging and possibly drawish if I don't handle this just right. I am trying to figure out how to mangle your pawn structure for good, and then trade down into the endgame.Quote:

3 queens versus 1 king :devilish: I am so awsome!
Why didn't your opponent resign before that?
My friend is very very very stubborn :wall:
Well Played, good sir!:bow:Quote:

Lost another game with the reborn pizzaguy (look the link above).
Nice trap... :bow::bow::bow:
My strategy is pretty simple.
I like to render your pieces ineffective. Look at my recent games. I like to trap your bishops behind your own pawns, and make them bite on granite against my pawn formation. I like to take squares away from your knights, so they are less effective. It's all about the pawns.
I like to trade queens, because I render counterplay ineffective with less powerful pieces on the board. I look for forks and pins at every opportunity, anything to limit options.
Don't let me take away options. To keep the game even, open up space and trade your ineffective pieces for my good pieces.

Third game. At least I finlally got a constant player to kill the time, :2thumbsup:
My duel with Quintus has ended in my favor (2-0). GG good sir:bow:

Update on my games:
2 defeats against Glyphz (both checkmates), completely out-classed by him.

I maneuvered your queen into a deadly trap, and tried to win the game outright by winning the queen, even though I KNEW you had a good reply by attacking my king.Quote:

To defend my king against checkmate, I have to interpose with a piece, using my queen loses the queen outright, and using the knight loses a bishop. No master level player would call that position even after losing the bishop, and with strong attack on my exposed king position, I'm done for.
Well played, and although I created the weakness which won you the game deliberately, you seriously deserve credit for keeping a cool head and seeing the solution.
Your queen is toast, but not if my king is. Rematch anytime, my friend.
