Lol your b5 pawn move was brilliant, btw. It cockblocked my attack so hard. :P

It would have been a little more interesting for the front page if I had just let you move your pawn to b5 around turn 56.

This, for sure at the least, is mate. :P

Somehow I thought that was mate... lol. Ah well.

This game took me exactly one more turn to checkmate you as compared to last game. ^^;

This game lol. I felt bad.

Did that happen to you? or are you referring to this game.

Noted downside to automove: leaving with your queen not in danger, returning without it. ^^;

Taking my bishop with yours would have been a much better play. I would be forced to pick between saving my knight and taking your bishop.

Even if you play me to material equality, though, look what doing so did to your structure. Your king is wide open, easy to attack, whereas mine is nearly impervious.
Devin

You did play it optimally so far though so good job there.
Devin

Yep. I don't think you see exactly why yet though lol.

The pawn at e4?
Devin

The pawn was bait.

I saw that, thanks. Tomorrow morning I am going to sit down and review the whole thing with commentary.
