Signed up and immediately lost a match! Woot!

(is being terrible at chess not the goal?)

Last time I ever played chess was when I was in grade 8, so roughly 10 years ago now.

Gross misplay on t9, Ke6.

Double pawn, double knight mate. What an embarrassing way to lose.

:thumbsup:

I haven't played chess in years, so I should be pretty bad at it, but if being bad at something stopped me from playing it, I'd spend my life in absolute boredom, so let me know if you want to play.

My username is forbiddenalchemist, because apparently "chimneypimp" wasn't an allowed username.

Another fun sicilian, we both missed 10. Qf7# but that's what you get playing blitz. :V

Sometimes a crazy king advance can work, so while somewhat risky for no real gain, 9. Ke6 was still technically playable; 10. Kxf6 was the real blunder, it was a forced mate from there. The correct (and only) move there was 10. exf6 I believe.

Fun Icelandic Gambit game:

I was disappointed that he resigned so early, but I definitely had the upper hand. Check it out and see if you can figure out the best lines for white and black here.
