Chess*3

If you want to read boring blogs about chess matches, then I guess this might as well be fronted or something

If you don't, then I guess you shouldn't of have for the fucking grammar nazis who would rather rant on about minor habitual mistakes than stay on the god damn topic loaded this in the first place?

He opened with G4

First game lasted whole last half of lunch. Defensive play, the other is into far flank openings so I always end up with a strong center but he ended up prying me apart so that I only had a knight and a queen while he had a rook and a queen. The Russian (Forever further refered to by his common alias, Kevin) sat angry over our moves and my style and had to leave. Well I jumped my knight up and forced the other to sacrifice his queen

I won the game I should of lost

I decided to start with a laugh and opened with H4

Then we played one where I ended up with a premature queen and he was trying to develop when I ran in with my premature queen to mate him with the help of a castled rook except it was false mate and instead I just got his queen and then I called false mate again and took some other piece so that by the end of it I had smashed him and then it was finally mate. Ya, I'm bad at determining checkmate or making it for that matter

I'm a heuristical player

He opened with E3

Then we played a game where I started a hit on his pawn that cost us both a knight, a bishop and a queen. But I was a pawn up, so there. Ended with what the first did, queen (promoted after trading my rook for his rook) and rook against knight and knight. Teacher came over and started explaining endgame theory but didn't go over so well and he left annoyed with all the stalemates he was coming across and so I had to finish up the queen v nothing when I remembered that the key to endgame is proper king play

Must wire myself to not forget that the king becomes a piece with actual use in endgame

you shouldn't HAVE, not shouldn't OF. The English just pronounce it as of instead of have because it's easier.

The English and me apparently. Though I tend to say both.

Cool blog, not sure I've read about chess matches before :D

@Rawr=It seems odd though, lacks substance of detail. Most of the time I can recall the first few rounds but fraid it isn't so with this (Three games in a state of growing mental fatigue blur together all too easily)

@Pleth=Yes and I learned that of was wrong from a Spanish speaker, so you can go not capitalize some other place

capitalisation can go kill itself

Actually because English has a phonological constraint on /h/ and full vowels in unstressed positions [shuts-up]

The endgame is easiest for me because it's easier to look like, ten moves ahead.

Cesque, you probably have the better things to say on linguisticism than other less desirable mantra chanters

I'm more about determining if a position is strong rather than determining what I can do in the next few moves. But yes, I probably should just increase my ply at end
