An extra move again though.

I should have moved the G7 pawn first, then it would be a quick in and out.

I was more than happy to give you my knight because you actually gave me two free moves, giving me checkmate.

Free knight or waste of turn... I know you lose it either way, but did I set myself back?

Eh don't blame yourself too much. There was a LOT going on there. I was going to win SOMETHING, I think. You would have had to turtle pretty hard to avoid what I had collapsing on you. Probably 10 - 15 turns of planning were coming together for me, lol.

I can't believe I let that happen again.

Mmmm I think you lost track of my knight there. You did see the trap I had for your queen though.

I'm mostly referring to trades. Be very wary of any obvious "equal" trades I may offer... I have a lot up my sleeve.

Very generous of you to point that out. I just assumed it was to protect the king and did not look any further.

If you ever have time to discuss this game... and I remember what I'm talking about... move 31. This situation is deceptive. There are a lot of natural progressions here that look acceptable for you but have some serious possible pitfalls.

That would do it. Rhythm is a funny thing in a system like this.

Lol I made that move 35 minutes ago then forgot to hit accept. ^^;

I was in class. Cancelled my graduation so that I could declare a minor, only needs one more semester and I'm not working anyway.

Right when I leave the house.

I'm on the bus so I'll be super active for the next hour and a half, until 2 anyways.
