This was a blunder that was made because I was looking further into the position than my abilities allowed and caused me to miss the obvious threat. | ||||

Now the game was lost before this huge mistake, but normally I would resign here and that would be the end of the annotation. However, resigning is against W the W rules and the annotation is for the benefit of other members to learn. | ||||

I think I'm brilliant here. Not to mention super sneaky. And sly. And kinda suave. But none of those apply to me, what does apply is blind in one eye. | ||||

Ha! Kxh7 and Qxc3 and now the game is almost even! | ||||

24... Nxh7 |
Wait, what? How did I forget about that knight? | ||||

Too late to turn back now, perhaps it will delay checkmate by 10 or 12 moves. | ||||

Well now I've lost all hope. This is a seriously dour situation. | ||||

Death to the Knight, last to go and last to fall. | ||||

Trying to sneak away... | ||||

Sometimes I wish I could invent more squares to retreat to. Not in this game, Heavens no! I was waiting for death at this point. | ||||

Fin. Thanks to Freddy for the opportunity. I did learn a few things in this game. From Freddy's advice "A good way to improve is not trying to win but trying to last as long as possible. The goal is to make it to move 100+ in any game. A longer game can give you a opportunity,s to change from trying to last to trying to win." I have noticed in the past that to be very true, by deferring exchanges and prolonging things, opportunities do present themselves. I also learned that Freddy's Bishops are deadly. Lastly I've learned (finally, I hope) that getting pieces developed against masters is of the utmost importance. For some reason I tend to forget the basics when I match with players who are better than me, but I should always try to remember that they are still flesh and blood human beings and they can make mistakes too. Computers take the personality right out of these matches. | ||||
