potnoodlechefHey Natasha!
NatashaReganhello potnoodle!!!!
NatashaReganhow are you?
potnoodlechefI'm good!!
potnoodlechefI don't think I remember the moves of shogi hahaha
potnoodlechefbut should be fun!
potnoodlechefAlso is the WSL website down? Was gonna check the team rankings, but can't seem to find the page...
NatashaReganit'll all come back!
potnoodlechefhaha hopefully :)
NatashaRegangg
potnoodlechefgg!
potnoodlechefcrazy game!
potnoodlechefIt was surprising to me that your pawn drop to defend then stopped your attacking chances
potnoodlechefon the middle file
NatashaReganoh yes! i kept trying to put one on and realsied i couldn't
potnoodlechefhahaha I was thinkng if this were 81dojo I'd win by nifu :)
NatashaReganyou would have
potnoodlechefnooooooooooooooo
potnoodlechefI was listening to the clicks
NatashaReganunlucky!
potnoodlechefit's not the same number of clicks as 81dojo!!!
potnoodlechefhahaha
NatashaReganoh!
potnoodlechefI was thinking of B53
potnoodlechefnot sure if it would be enough
potnoodlechefI also wasn't sure why you didn't trade rooks at the end?
potnoodlechef(like I won yours, you could win mine with silver captures back?)
NatashaReganoh yes that's probably better
NatashaReganI wanted to keep things near your king
potnoodlechefaha, I also just saw if we both captured rooks, I have a nice fork at the end
potnoodlechef54.sx46+ 55.+bx61 56.gx61 57.r*41 !
NatashaReganouch
potnoodlechefbut interesting at the end if I played Sx57, I'm winning. But if I play B53, I'm worse xD
potnoodlechefI remember always being bad at knowing how to prioritise this kind of attack/defence with an open king
potnoodlechefbecause to me, if I took tokin on 57, you'd just drop pawns on my silver, and still have an attack
potnoodlechefhaving analysed further, I still have no clue haha
potnoodlechefinteresting game :)
NatashaReganare you streaming today?
NatashaReganyeah interesting game!
potnoodlechefoh no
potnoodlechefI'm actually a bit ill, so I'm just taking a full day off
potnoodlechefbut a shogi arena sounded alright :)
NatashaReganoh dear hope you feel better soon! Is it covid? some of my colleagues had it this week
potnoodlechefThanks! It might actually be
NatashaRegandegringolade is also not well
potnoodlechefI think I got it last month. Gave it to my partner. Now she's given it back to me haha
NatashaReganfair's fair
potnoodlechefYup haha
potnoodlechefwant to play a decider?
NatashaRegansure
NatashaRegangg
potnoodlechefgg!
NatashaRegani couldn't think of what to do fast enough
potnoodlechefi thought I was toast, but got lucky that you didn't have the right piece to drop
NatashaReganyeah i needed a rook or gold
potnoodlechefyeah... i think at the end it was lost already
NatashaReganyes i didn't see any sacrifice
potnoodlechefyeah when I dropped S*79
potnoodlechefI think taking is already lost
potnoodlechefmaybe you have something different there...
NatashaRegancan i give up my bishop perhaps
potnoodlechefoh wow, ok, so taking is completely fine, and you just needed to find 79. K-38!
potnoodlechefI thought that was also lost due to 70. S*49, but apparently there's no mate!
NatashaReganoh wow
potnoodlechefoh wow after 81.K-28 82.G*38 just the casual 83.K-18 !!
potnoodlechefI'm one piece short
potnoodlechefand if I drop the rook instead of gold on move 82
NatashaRegannice
potnoodlechefI'm also one piece short in that line
potnoodlechefdayum
NatashaReganwell played!!
potnoodlechefthanks, you too!
potnoodlechefI'll go rest some more, but this was fun!
potnoodlechefhave a nice weekend :)
NatashaReganand you! hope you feel better
