yeah i know i said you shouldn't put your knight on the edge of the board but i must have had a good reason for it at the time... surely?

ok ok, now watch carefully. I'm about to pull of a special trick which is very uncommon amongst the 1500 rated players. As far as i'm aware i'm one of the very few chess players to have truly mastered this skill.

Yeap... it's the art of giving your pieces away for no good reason.

I'm not really sure at what stage i mastered this skill? I think i might have just been born with it. Here we go again....

Nice job Deathwolf. You've just lost that important 2 lead you worked so hard to build up and you've also stuck your castle and queen in front of each other... Uh oh

now luckily this move was available otherwise i probably would have just resigned in disappointment/frustration.

I've managed to save my castle and i'm still in better shape than him on the board. It's all even but my king is well protected and my castles are linked up on the back line. His king is stuck in the middle and pretty exposed

 
25... Qc5
ok it's pretty obvious what i'm going for here. But there is still no harm in trying. He might make a mistake and mess up

 
26. Be3
nope

 
26... Qb5
ok now i can't actually remember what i was trying to do here but i'm sure it was something pretty tasty

oh yeah i wanted to move my knight into c3 ready for the checkmate with my queen. Looks like he read my thoughts and put a stop to that move though

 
27... a5
looking to move my bishop in behind the queen... for the checkmate

another 'crack pipe' moment from me... no real need to swap pieces here. Probably should have kept my queen as i was in a better position. Must have got bored or something. Bad move by me

His king is now off the back line, his castles are linked and much stronger
