How has everyones 2005 Championship gone so far?

Lost my first game, against cludi (2070), real big embarassment, got trouched in 14 moves and was forced to lose the exchange to a queen marauding opening tactic. I played the Caro-Kann, and the dude STILL found a way to use a tactic in the opening on me. LOL! 🙄😀

Well, I just won my second tournament game today and I'm doing fairly good in my others.

I was overloaded with games and I wanted to make room for more games for my clans. It was not because I was losing [we we're actually tied] and I didn't think I wanted a 14/21 siege board.

I have no regrets unless you guys really wanted me to stay in it? Of course, if I won, then I would have resigned to the next person who challenged me....it's just I have no use for a 14/21 siege board. I didn't realize this till too late.

You're a good enough player, flexmore, to realize that I had no chess reason to resign.

no offence, but chess slayer had a good reason, no matter what he played he was a pawn down and because of the position, he has to chose either king side or queen side, if he losses the pawn facing his queen he is under a more direct attack...as for the h-pawn if he losses that, soo the g will fall too, meman has a clear adv and i would say eventually wins, a great game though!

ok Im 8-0 now in jepoardy of actually losing a game. Some type of glitch moved wrong piece, not sure how but second time I've had a glitch. In a thematic tournament I wasn't able to castle and my opponent was but oh well I will fight through. This time it cost me a knight for nothing but against a 1300 player I'll probably still win or draw at worse. I've played a good bit this weekend so am now up in all my other games in the tournament. Guess we'll see what happens with that one bad one.

have you looked at ironman's only loss?

No, it wasn't a move timeout. It's on his puplic games page like 10 or 11 by now I think.

I knew this was in at least 1 other thread. Game 502661. I found that in the chess forum.

Yup, no problem, happy to help 🙂. I wonder how long it's gonna be before IronMan loses another game 😕.
