Now, I really, really, REALLY prefer my position shades.

Spolier for rego:

21. f3 would see me trading Bishop/Rook/Pawn for Bishop/Rook/Pawn x2 if rego takes the bait. Given my material advantage and the passed pawn I'd be okay with conceding that pawn.

Epic win!

(This game shows why beginners fear king-attacks so much.)

Thank you.

My highest ranked victim so far in live chess - redsabbath at 1430. Or so I thought, after I beat him his rank dropped to 1320 - am I reading that correctly? Seems drastic. Also, I didn't gain many ranking points by beating him.

He's brand new - when you've only got 4-5 games under your belt, your rating moves a lot more. If I beat rego in our current match, I'll get 84 points, and it's my 5th game, and he's got 117 points on me right now.

I was being sarcastic. smile

The strange fluxes in rating are caused by Chess.com using the Glicko system not the Elo one.

Since the last positional problem seemed to pose an interesting challenge, I thought I'd post another one to give people a chance to test their positional understanding.

Bishop to h3, with the idea of keeping the white knight penned in?
