White to play and he abandoned it. I do not count this as a win. 😃

Another stonewall with a few loose rocks. I’ll still take the win.

Fun game and I ran out of time. No way I could see mate in 10. This was after a stonewall attack. According to the review I should never have made it this far.

After the breaking 1500 interference lesson, I realized something. When a king is checked there are only 3 options: move out of check, interpose (block) the check, or capture the checking piece. I see this idea applies to any piece or square on the board you want to capture or occupy and not just a check to the king. Just trying to make a…

I guess for any other piece there is a 4th option, allow the capture if it works to your advantage.

Best game statistics so far. Was a little nervous because my opponent played so fast.

This review reminded me I need to study diagonals and use of bishops for checkmate. I missed a forced mate because I rely on the easier methods and have lost on time because of it.

Just like I remember my first beer, I will remember my first double check checkmate that I didn’t realize was a checkmate until after it happened. 😅

Congrats ! That game looked like it couldn’t have gone any smoother
for you. I can’t belive it only rated your accuracy in the 66% range.

chess.com ratings are a mystery for me. Rapid i’m under 500. Puzzles i’ve been as high as 1946, I now hover around 1500-1600. Bots in the 850 range have fallen to me and beat me. Some of my games with bots have said i was 1300 while i’ve also recently been called a 200. My accuracy has been anywhere from 87 to 36 %. btw, i won the game with…

Ditto. Guess I’ll just have to trust the process. Until the training kicks in I guess I’ll have to be content knowing that I’m making a huge contribution to the chess world. So far it seems that my contribution is to raise EVERYONE else’s ELO by beating me.

Had a bit of luck at the end. Accuracy was reasonably good and only one small blunder. I think my opponent could have stayed in if he wanted to. Good game to them 👍🏼

In the breaking 1500 course, noticed the overloading lesson was similar to removing the guard from squares as well as pieces. 😃
