      Working my way up from 600. Played against Maxim-bot (1000) with no blunders, mistakes or misses using Stonewall. Currently at 800. 85.7 accuracy, which is a new best.
      Just completed the module on blunder checking.

        • Even though analysis did not show it as such, 19. exd5 was a blunder. Analysis showed it as a good move, and it worked, but I missed that I would trade the knight for the pawn that I captured. I was thinking that I was protected (against the queen).

          • Oops. Rating against bots is 800. Against mortals 732.

            • Won’t show me the game , but well done !

              • Can’t see the game either, but congratulations on the rating increase. Reducing blunders has made a huge difference in my game
