Culturekoi Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 OH GOD OH GOD I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN ON IN LEIK A WEEK. Seriously, I need to get some more games in, I refuse to continue sucking so bad. If you see me don't think twice about asking me for a game. Merry christmas.

dPaladin Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Two wins against Koi. I neglected to get move logs of either one, but the first one was really close (I had a material edge of a bishop minus two pawns) until he gave me his rook for free. It started out as a straight-out-of-the-book Sicilian game but we screwed it up really quickly. In the second one, I did some weird Reti variation that ended up being a double fianchetto and I was thinking "God, why did I play this opening?" the entire time. I ended up getting a surprise checkmate around move 23. I actually had it set up for like two moves before that and neither of us saw it. Great games, both of them.

Lunahorum Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 i am still trying to perfect my fast pawn promotion strategy. It involves sacrificing the queen in hopes of getting another queen with the pawn already at the other side of the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Bahamut wins one as black vs Dama, it was a good game, although I made one mistake. Unfortunately, Dama ran out of time so we didn't get to see how it would've ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamoh Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Sorry I haven't been active playing games, guys. This week has been really hectic for me, but I came out of it moved home, with two new jobs, and...well I dunno, it's just been hectic. Any comments on my three divisions/shorter clocks plan?

kamoh Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 i am still trying to perfect my fast pawn promotion strategy. It involves sacrificing the queen in hopes of getting another queen with the pawn already at the other side of the board. I would say a sacrifice by the other backrow pieces might be a better strategy. If you can find a way to get a queen for, say, a rook, knight, and bishop, I think that's a viable strategy. Queens are ultimately stronger than the 9 points that most people think they are worth, and two of them could probably replicate most of your back row.

dPaladin Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I lost twice to max239048293048209384223984. He does some really interesting hypermodern crap with rook pawns and weird knight stuff and all that. I failed to get move lists again, but it's all good. Good games.

damathacus Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Forgot to mention, I played John. He fought me to a draw in the first match, despite my slight material advantage. Game two was fast and furious, and John tore me through me. So, one draw, and one win for John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dPaladin Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I played a game with estevao on the Google thingy. It was very stable. You have to click three times to move, which annoyed me at first, but I'm over it. I think it gave Kamoh some trouble though because he ran out of time. Their annotation system is dumb and you can't automatically save and email it like yahoo lets you do, but most of you probably won't care about that.
