    It's official that Seamus F. is my 3rd pair match.

    Status: 2nd game underway. (Currently leading 1-0)
    game1: http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=10611817
    game2: http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=10732823

    Wrong-footed me in the first game and gave me a stomp. Well played! I resigned to allow us to start game 2 faster -- game one had become a forgone conclusion. --SF

    Moves 9-12 and 14-15 were where you lost it I think. Good games.

    Just so you are aware Seamus, those were our Round 4 games.

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    Currently locked in battle with both Caius and Stephen. I just committed a rather embarrassing blunder in the latter match, so we'll see if I can recover from it or not.

    You can make only one blunder... Apart from that the game was very good, bloody and contested... You simply had to think a bit more before moving that pawn... The catasrtophy that happened was simpy a chain reaction

    The result... http://www.chess.com/echess/game.htm...794155&alert=1

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    [sigh] Yeah, pretty much. I was attempting to launch a limited counter-offensive, but once again failed to pay sufficient attention to my defensive position (which was admittedly rather precarious to begin with, but I felt I had to do *something*).

    A blunder that results in the loss of a piece without compensation will usually result in a defeat. See my second game with Ichigo for examples of minor position mistakes that result in loss of time and a weaker position, and how that builds up. See my game with Cambovenzi for examples of positional mistakes that result in loss of activity and coordination, and how that builds up. I have a game somewhere where a bog standard opening was transformed, and my entire game from thereon was centred on an undefended square on d5.

    Here's the game. Note that after 8...c5, my immediate response was to swap off my black-square Bishop, which can't control the d5 square, with his Knight, which can. Once that was done, I had 2 pieces that could control that square, and he had 1, and a further exhange gave me uncontested control of that square, from which my Bishop controlled the later game.

    And here's how it might have continued. After the played moves above, the best Black can do is to obfuscate the attack with a Queen for Rook exchange (not appetising), but the below is fairly plausible if White doesn't want to lose his Queen. After 18...Rg7 defending against Qxb7 mate, the subsequent moves are forced. Note the Bishop dancing around the d5 square where it's immune from attack, and how the d6 pawn blocks in the black Bishop.

    Another short but very hot game between me and Martok. I won but Martok fighted well(except the blunders!)!

    http://www.chess.com/echess/game.htm...860061&alert=1

    Total: I won the both games against the Camel Lord.
