thanks, i've been consistently playing roughly 15-30 games a day for the past 5 years. i've always loved chess, but lately... it's become something else.

 

i literally picked my shit up yesterday after not playing for about four years.

 

this game is a wonderful reintroduction. real good example of positional vs material.

i'd like to contact david (10f10t) again, lost contact for couple years, what's his current gmail address?

 

 

mods feel free to delete this ltr.

 

the one time i managed to beat 10f10t was immensely satisfying. it involved staying up all night. fucker is *good* at chess.

 

indeed.... he's the guy to beat on watmm. holds the title belt based on last time we had a formal tournament. this summer he beat me 4 times in a row which sent me back into semi-retirement. however here's a good annotated victory of mine over him:

"He moves a sulky donkey to c3 in a weak attempt to regain compusure after such an embarrassing rejection"

 

"Wow, nice move tenfingers, what are you like a five time dean's lister at the Fred McGriff School of Chess all the sudden? Where have I seen this move before?"

shaping up to be a pretty epic game against eichel. 11 moves in, he's down a knight and a pawn, i'm down a bishop and a pawn, and we both just castled.

From Yesterday's Observer:

 

This position arose after White's 16th move. Please provide a legal game to reach this point

This had me totally perplexed yesterday but then today in the bath I had another look and came to what I think is the solution pretty quickly - haven't got a board to hand so havent actually tested it out.....

nice game luke, CHAOS!

 

but why did you play qc2? after qh4 my king wouldnt have been safe yet...

 

(edit: heres the game if someones interested: http://gameknot.com/...45375&rnd=85596)

umm, i don't remember. i think i was considering qh4, but after analyzing relentlessly, gaining a pawn for a queen exchange meant a better game. i am down so much material in our game, i was off to such a great start, then just got greedy, i suppose.

sure, lets play again. i think you overestimated your attack, it wasnt enough to give so much material for it (especially if the queens are gone).

 

i thought about playing 14.a3, but that would have ended with my king alone on b5 if i calculated it right. crazy shit.

 

btw, is anyone familiar with FICS? thats the place i use to play, its "real-time". lead me to play bullet all the time which is fun and damn addictive but ruins your chess.
