Jimer and I are playing online chess!

Well you are by all accounts a stronger player than me so the question isn't do I feel the jaws closing around me, but rather WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG?

lol. Don't sell yourself short. I think we're actually pretty close. I'm a bit rusty, to be sure, but you're no slouch. I'm still not sure how I'm going to winkle you out of there while not letting you use your pawn advantage.

Finally. Sheesh, you're a slippery bastard.

Finally. Sheesh, you're a slippery bastard.

I submitted that game for computer analysis. I should get the results in a few days. I'll see how it turns out.

Neat. I look forward to seeing that.

Here is the game. The analysis sometimes has alternate lines like if I made a blunder it would say best move is XYZ and then show how that should play out. I've trimmed the alternate lines but kept the comments about what was the best move.

So you can see there were plenty of blunders. You missed a few forced mate situations in our nestled pawn rook quagmire on the white king side. And I had plenty of ill thought out moves of my own.

I'm going through it now.

And I hate that the iPad version of this app doesn't give you more notice about a chat message. You sent a few I didn't read until now, sorry about that. I got a challenge from ToddGarett and had no idea who he was so I declined it, assuming he was just some random dude, and since 99% of those are people who are gonna be dicks, I declined it. Tell him I apologize for that.
