Can I take that move back @Johnnysummers5 God knows what I did that for, clearly a senior moment:(
It was a shame, as you have given me a very good game, I think you are a stronger player than your rating
Thanks for saying that @Johnnysummers5. As I said to Talal, shame I can't accidentally knock the board over.
Despite the analysis button, still seem to have these blind moments. Just made a right gaff in my game with, real_idle_hans. Maybe that's just the intensity of playing so many games at once?
I'm enjoying the games though and as you said, ours was a goodun, cheers.

Here's me thinking I'm doing brilliantly against acoleuthic, taking all his pieces but clearly I didn't see the deadly trap, until the rattlesnake bit me:(
Well played, accidently cleared the analysis, so can't see if I could have done anything about it?

Not taken the bishop, basically. The knight was fine - I uh 'sacrificed' it in exchange for development

Question: you're playing a game that you can't win. You're opponent isn't that much better off but has the pieces to potentially force a check mate.
Do you resign or do you continue playing and force your opponent to achieve check mate?
What is the chess etiquette?
No one ever got better by resigning. However, when things are hopeless, like your opponent has a passed pawn that you can't stop queening and you have no chance of mating them, there's no disgrace in giving it up.

Back in the '70s, I witnessed a game being played by I guy I knew from school chess matches, Nick Alexander. His opponent got very upset at getting in to a losing position so he flipped the board up in Nick's face and stormed off after shouting "Fuck you, Alexander".
I shouldn't have neglected that bloody pawn. Once you got your queen back the game was up. I don't mind losing at all when a games that absorbing. It's when I chuck them away through stupid errors that I annoy myself.

Join the club, I swear I black out sometimes during games, when I think of the gaffs I've made.

Thought I was doing ok, must of blacked out, when I woke up the game was over.
@Jints thanks
That game swung about a bit. Very enjoyable.

I’m sure it’s not to those more skilled players but I’m not in that category and wondered if it was?
I’m not referring to our tournaments either because we have an opportunity to play both.
