Game 3352010

Big win for me against an oponent several hundred points above myself. I also liked how I was able to fight back, despite being (or atleast feeling) exposed on the kingside

Game 3406875

Extremely tense game with a grandstand finish.

Could anybody tell me if black can force a win after 29. Bd3? It would be nice to know that I should have won anyway!

would be better game for white if instead of pushing his pawn to h8, he should have just took your pawn at e2

Very nice finish. The patzergrl is correct however.

Yes, but queening that h-pawn instead of taking black's pawn with the bishop just gave the game away.

I edited my post to reflect that.

Sorry.
Replying while someone is in mid-editting can be such a pain.

That's exactly the first thing he said in our subsequent game. I didn't really plan towards the checkmate, I carried on playing and let him know that I was disappointed but he said about two moves before "i still reckon there's a twist or two to come . . ."

I thought this was an intersting game. i made a mistake of letting his/her knight and bishop into that position and thought the best way out was to do the same
