    Thanks for the game Talal and very well played. I thought I had you in trouble a couple of times but you always found a way out...

    Thanks was an interesting game and I thought the same early on!

    Why can't you do that in our game?

    Ok, I'll make it my next move, to hell with it. Let's live dangerously.

    No don't! I want to win properly or not at all.

    Not at all, it seems.

    Talal, I've offered you a draw, I think you'd be wise to take it;)

    Gonna take my chances and play on :smile:

    Ok but don't say I didn't give you a chance.

    The only trouble with online chess is, you can't accidentally knock the board over.

    I cheekily offered AA a draw earlier but he declined... :lol:

    Well played Talal, said through gritted teeth but it's only a flesh wound.

    I'll bite yer legs off in the next game.

    Thanks. I'll try to play as poorly as my current game against Charente, but can't promise anything :smile:

    Well played Charente, totally buggered that early on and u took full advantage.

    Thanks Talal, yes move 20 wasn't your best leaving a choice of knight or bishop for a pawn. But the game was getting a tad complicated so a blunder was looming (believe me you don't have a monopoly on blunders :-()

    I've enjoyed our games and make us dead level after 6 - 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats each. Until next time!

    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?

    Most people will resign but if a checkmate is coming very soon there's not a lot wrong with letting it play out if that's what you want to do.
    It's those buggers that offer draws when they're well behind that need to take a look at themselves :wink:

    Well played Talal - another tight game but all about the margins

    And QBCQBC, sorry I didn't offer you much of a game, you are a fair bit better than me unfortunately

    Folks - I'm going to have to duck out. I timed out against Martin earlier because I didn't have time to play my move - indicative if the fact it just isn't possible for me to play as I don't have the time. Sorry - fwiw I did enjoy it, maybe when I retire I'll have the hours in the day necessary to play again :lol:

    Cheers. There was one move of yours near the end that surprised me as it kinda handed me the initiative, but that aside very close game.

    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.
