Originally posted by skeeterVery bad choice of words, I guess, since I was just curious how one could keep track of 200+ games. I struggle sometimes with less than 10. Maybe I should try a longer time control, at least more than three days I use now. Actually, your mentioning keeping notes might be something I might try myself.
Hmmmm. It would be all too easy to mis-interpret your tone Ssudukh and so I am going to take a leaf out of Flexmores book and treat your post as just genuine curiousity with an unfortunate choice of words.
To your points; 1) I simply do not play all my games at the same time. I select the next game closest to a time control, analyse my opponents move, ref ...[text shortened]... e the time controls and not blunder.
I hope this addressess your concerns

Of course, I still don't see ever trying 200 games at the same time. 😵

Clearly a win with two passed pawns supported by a significant material advantage.
Originally posted by skeeterI would love to play skeeter in a 21 day timeout with 28 days for the timebank. I would agree to resigning after the game was lost on position or material.
To your points; 1) I simply do not play all my games at the same time. I select the next game closest to a time control, analyse my opponents move, refer to my notes, consider my available responses and then move. After recording that move and updating my notes I move to the next game.

If i want to learn endgames i play those as specific games, for that purpose. So i have no need to play some like skeeter to learn how to play an endgame properly. I want to study more on opening and midle games.

ps: looked at alll games skeeter listed. Even to me it is obvious they are all lost matches. Waiting for a resignation hopefully before 2010 or skeeter's checkmate.

Yea, totally, just chill out. Everyone has games like that, it's part of chess.
I've probably got the ultimate going on right now :-)
Game 341246
but really, so what? Good practice at not slipping into stalemate traps.
Thanks for the laugh, and the game is still in progress...😳

I would have resigned a long time ago.😞
Originally posted by LivingLegendHmmmm..... happy to have the extra piece (exchange down) with the pawn and a marginally better position. Certainly not resignable at the moment.

You might even get lucky and I will be forced to offer the draw.😉

Originally posted by skeeterYou honestly think that your position is defensible? Olav would have to be deaf, dumb and blind (not to mention borderline pickled - VERY DRUNK) to accept a draw in this position. Practice what you preach and don't be such a hypocrite I can play you from this position and beat you so bad your great grandchildren will hurt 🙂

You honestly think that your position is defensible?... I can play you from this position and beat you...Hi Feivel,
I'm certainly not joining in this argument/debate...I'm strictly here to have fun improving my Chess 🙂
The reason I'm posting this, is because although I'm a relative novice in comparison with yourself, I've analysed the position of Skeeter's and LivingLegends game, and I can't see why you should consider the result to be a forgone conclusion.
This is honestly not meant to offend in any way...but I'd sure love the opportunity to play you (or any other willing party) from this set piece as a lesson for me.
Want to help a rookie improve his game?
Best regards to everyone on both sides and the middle of this particular thread 🙂
