Nice win, MJW. I'd say it counts.

I don't think this really counts as I've spent much longer per move. Much like how novice/zak beat me. My big focus was to stop that light square Bishop from coming in.

Don't sell yourself short, you won fair and square. If you don't blunder, you can beat anyone here.

It's not totally selling myself short--see about my comment on Zak/Novice . This is still nice though...

I wish there was an easy way to, after a game was over, go back and easily look through all the comments (without scrolling through every post). Is there a tool that might help with that? I thought I remember some sort of tool from the WW games that was developed but I don't know if that would work in this situation

Chess Puzzle: Which 15th move instead of 15.Qb3 would have given Rego a big advantage?

15. Ng5!

That would be cool.

GG Gustaran No clue why I clicked Kc7 instead of Kb7 (which I had planned to do).

but this speeds it up.

Why did you resign? You might have held it:

42...Rd1! 43. Rxa6 Rg1 44. Ra6 Rxg3+ 45.Kd4 Rf3 and if now 46.Ke5? Re3+ is equal.

Because I didn't see that and because I had no power left to continue.

Speaking from experience, that is not the most constructive way of pointing out someone may have made a mistake by resigning. It comes of as very condascending instead of constructive

At least ithat's how it has felt when i've been in that situation
