I usually consider resigning immediately, but occasionally I think I better practise coming back from a losing position.

Against a higher rated opponent (1900+) attempting to play a piece down is an exercise in futility.

Damn and Blast!

Hate resigning, hope the opponent will make a mistake if I continue, but usually they don’t.

The silliest mistakes are the ones most difficult to accept. Unless having a good time chatting, losing pieces is a waste of time.

Why did I have to make that move now...? Why didn't I wait just a second, an hour or even a day or two...? That's what goes through my mind usually.

Is it a coincidence that several of you ladies have put your photos up as avatars?

Often when we do strange things, there is a man involved somewhere... 🙂

Ha ha, we’re out to start a blonde clan. All you need is a blonde mop; dyed is allowed.
