Out of Time

This was Blitz 3 min with 10 sec added I think. I got myself in a bind and messed up my pawn structure. I was able to maneuver my King down the g and h file to contain the King and finally trade out and my opponent ran out of time.

Discretion is better part of valor

Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. One should never offer to use one's Lady unless are ready to lose her.

Sore losers....

Right before I forced the game into a checkmate or trapping the queen against the King, I received the following message from my let us say less than gracious opponent.

Late mate

This is a team match I played. I stumbled upon the mate the last move. One of those games I just kept playing and trying to get good position and hope something happens...it did.

Time is always a factor. I stumbled a couple of times because I couldn't think fast enough, finally I just stayed calm and pushed the advantage of each pawn as I won them. Amazing how pawns can win a game!

Different Opening for me

I have not played this opening very much, it proved sucessful this time.

Long game

This was one of my tougher games. I got behind and finally played for the draw and got it. This was a team match, so was important to draw or win.

Things sometimes get ugly in chess.....

Wall of pawns

I don't think I remember seeing 3 pawns left and 3 pawns in front of the King before, it worked for me though....

Knights can be so bad!

Alas, I found just the right spot for the Knight.

My opponent was very much stronger, I was able to hold him and he finally ran out of time. Timed events can be rough if you are not use to playing with short amounts of time. We had a short conversation about Reformed Theology, probably was a distraction also.

Just too much in the end

I played against an 1800 rated, did pretty well until the end. He was able to make a sacrifice and then swamp me before I could get help for the King.

Mistakes can cost...

My opponent started out well and was able to keep me off balance for awhile. A couple of critical errors and I cam out on top.

This game started off pretty even but I capitalized on a couple of errors then it was just a matter of sweeping up.
