I suspect it is a very small group of us who played on HS chess teams over 40 years ago. I still meet up with a few of those friends regularly. Now I need to go look for my cane……

ever check in here to interact?

Not so much recently, perhaps he’ll check in more if he puts the course back on sale over some holiday in the future.

Welp, he just blundered his Queen and resigned.

He didn’t even wait until you did a discovered attack with Be6+ so you could capture the queen.

Blundering and carrying on.
One of the important lessons Nelson reminds us to do is to see what has changed when your opponent makes a move. I neglected to do that in this game when my opponent, playing black, moved his bishop to g5 on move #26. I was so focused on mating him, that I missed that his rook was protecting the mating square after he moved the bishop and…
