Hurricane_Freyruined it for myself at the end there. almost had ur rook, but panicked from time pressure
Hurricane_Freygg tho
degringoladegood luck
StevenCI don't think getting my rook was best. But you were probably ahead earlier. You also had a move which would have forced draw by repeti

NatashaReganand you
CricketForJapaHurricane_Freyg, Good game you deserved the rook. At least your rating reached 888 - three of a kind, like playing cards!

CricketForJapaIn Chinese numerology, 888 usually means triple fortune, as a form of strengthening of the digit 8. See wiki

degringoladegg = I didn't mean to drop the rook on that square. but i think I was still lost
NatashaReganoh yes but earlier i was in big trouble i thought
degringoladeI made one other very strange move - I had planned R44 against a lance drop and then played it against the knight drop which made no sense
Hurricane_Freygg
NatashaRegandon't remember exactly, but the opening was interesting wasn't it with your attack on the lance file
CricketForJapaWell played. You completely outplayed me there. I think my banter about the 888 gave you the extra determination!
degringoladeI was pretty pleased with the bishop manoeuvre and the edge attack
degringoladebut probably should have kept the lance on
CricketForJapaMy rating has dropped by 33. And 3 is my lucky number!
NatashaReganat least not 333
CricketForJapaand if you a put 3 in a mirror and join with another 3 it makes 8.
NatashaRegantrue
CricketForJapaAnd if you rotate 8 by 90 degrees, you see the infinity sign!
NatashaReganand if you turn it upside down and cut it in half it's back to a 3
CricketForJapaHurricane_Frey you rating is not 917, and 9-1 = 8, and 7+1 = 8 , so still 888 in my eyes.
NatashaReganI'm going to pause there too because I need to go out ggs all!
CricketForJapa"Your", "now" and "not", just correcting the typos.
StevenCtried to play the move three times
kevinb74Ah, what happened there. Yes didn't seem like you would have run out of time... and I had made a mess of the game
StevenCI had to be careful, but 15 seconds per move was enough at this particular time.
StevenCAnd I had chosen my move. Just couldn't play it
StevenCHave changed my mouse so there might be some hidden cleverness
Hurricane_Freygg
degringoladegg
StevenCanyway it was a good fight.
degringoladeggs - everyone
StevenCI thought you were ahead until you pushed the pawn by your bishop
StevenCwhich opened a lot of attack for me, while potentially relieving the pressure on my king from your bishop
