Yeah I can't. I asked Nick to stalemate us. Otherwise we'll go on forever waiting for one of us to make a ridiculously stupid mistake, lol.

I'm still trying to figure out if you can still perma me, lol. If I can advance that pawn even one square, it's over. But I'm not sure I can.

what should we do?

I think I can win too now that my king is near my pawns.

well played Devin. I believe you have successfully traded off into a winning endgame. I might just concede this one to you, but it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I should probably stop playing for now since I'm at work and don't have time to work out a plan. :P

are you gonna try to march those pawns?

what are we going to do here?

You didn't? But it's the only way I can queen- split with you! I counted moves lol.

that's what I was thinking...a perpetual check, however I didn't anticipate your last move, so we will have to see what happens.

Followup: beer + pizza + hot wings = gloriousness. Finding out that the waitress you're thinking of askin' out is both a gamer chick & has a boyfriend? Cruelty! cruelty I say... More beer here!

Maybe, maybe not. I WILL have an extra pawn at the end of it. The question is can you get them both before I promote them and none of your pawns here can survive. I haven't worked out if I can use my extra pawn to avoid eternal check or not lol. You definitely cannot win unless I make a ridivulously huge error.

agreed, in other words, stalemate?

This sequence will end with us both having a queen but you having initiative. :P

Yeah I figured that one out when I commented on moving the pawns up too soon, lol.

so yes, you probably should have activated your king before moving your pawns, as now my king has made his way over there.

okay, will i will tell you now. one of the principles of the end game is to activate your king, and if your opponent doesn't activate their king it usually ends in a loss for them. however you have activated your king now.

note* :P

Be happy to hear it. Though not every move I made today was made during a 5 - 13 minute queue at work, lol.

I have a thought about a mistake you have made. I will tell you what it is after this game.

This sequence could get awfully interesting. I think I made I mistake moving those pawns up so soon. Gone from work so some time to think now!

looks like it.

Okay. I'm black this time. I think my win rate is a lot higher as black than it is as white, ahahaha. Lets see if I can snap this 4 or 5 game skid, lol.
