Yeah has happened to us both this game. Get so focused on what you want that you miss the bigger picture.

Not paying attention again.
Devin

Yeah I was watching for the back ranker for a while, lol.
Nick

I was really getting my hopes up.
Devin

Ah nevermind I can still save myself, lol.
Devin

No, THAT one was a bad move, lol.
Nick

Ok, that one was a bad move.
Devin

Lol. At least you're not in the position Justin was with me. Although that was very frustrating for me. He didn't even REALIZE he was on the verge of being in checkmate, but he held me off for a good ten moves mostly without realizing how narrowly he was escaping.

I see it coming, but it is way too late.

Ahhh, probably the same thing with "internet explorer" since I only use IE from work, which is a call center.
Nick

About the iPhone, it is because your ip address keeps changing. I will see what I can do about that.
Nick

I got a little sloppy there.
Devin

I get the same problem on internet explorer, actually. Also, only the "view games" link highlights like a link, though they all actually work like one.
Devin

I have to relogin frequently to play from the iPhone. Otherwise I get a bunch of errors that prevent me from making a move. On another note playing chess while running on zero sleep results in dumb mistakes like that last one.

I am serving the same content regardless of user agent, but only personally tested it with Firefox 3.5,4 and IE8. I can see that it works with Blackberry's from Justin's phone, but that is purely by luck. Anything strange happen on yours?
Devin
4943 days ago
Yep, why?
Nick

I see someone is logging on with an iPhone. Is that you?
Devin

As in anything with optimal solutions. Even with conventional wisdom, however, many games remain unexplored.
Nick

I am under the impression that the space of all possible games is unexplored by conventional decisions. When this database is larger I will be able to get a real picture of it.
Devin

I have to admit... your play is quite unpredictable. Every time I put a range on your moves, you do something else. ^^;
Devin

Hmmm. Good question. Off and on for at least 3 - 4 years. Not really sure when we started. He'd probably have a better idea.
Nick

How long have you been teaching him?
Devin
4944 days ago
Fair enough. Justin is my padawan, you might say, ahaha. I'm the person who taught him how to play chess. That's why he wanted me on here. So that he would have a digital copy of my games against him.
Nick

It was a little risky, but works often enough against my usual opponents.

You're a very aggressive player. Early forks are fun but the attemptcan get you in trouble.
