Just noticed Black had a 2100+ rating.... oh and they're both from the same country...

Either he had an incredibly bad day with that game, or he's returning a favour between friends lol

Quick Danish game.



Also a five piece mate (albeit with a slightly redundant bishop)

Not a particularly stunning game but the rating difference is 800 points so only to be expected (no disrespect to my opponent in saying this btw..) It does end in Philidors mate though, only the second time i've managed it so thought i'd post..

I recently missed a mate in 18 moves with a huge blunder in my very first game on the site. I don't think I'll ever be able to come back here if I end up losing...

d'oh!!!

Don't be worried, you can be consoled by the fact that your username is awesome.

A little piece of me always rejoices whenever I register on a new site and that name is still available.

I finally got a mate in under 20 moves, yay! 😀
I played as black, and particularly enjoyed the tricks that commenced on move 13

For the record: I did end up winning this one. It took me another ten moves, but I got there. It was my first real game in around ten years, so I'm pretty satisfied.

Had some good results and pleasing attacks come off lately,
here I was allowed to break through with the knights, turning all of black's pieces into spectators.
