Yeah, figured you'd surrender at that point. The mate is foregone now.

Ahhhh. Rough, lol. That makes a lot of sense then. I was very, very careful to monitor that fork.

I didn't see your knight protecting against the fork:(

I'm still waiting for you to pull some trick out of your sleeve here, lol. Your c5 knight move doesn't make sense to me yet. Waiting for the bomb to drop. :D

grim.

That's the plan, lol.

I'm feeling kinda squished!

I seem to have you on the run here, with a very slight edge, but appearances are often deceiving. However, I really like the natural beauty of my setup right now, ahaha. Those pawn pairs are surprisingly strong, not to mention aesthetically pleasing having so many pieces in diagonals... actually, now that I look at it, my pieces sorta look like Tr ahahaha. Epic.

sounds good. There seems to be endless variations in this game, as half the time you are doing things I haven't considered.

Hmmm. Move 45 future reference. Next time we meet up for chess, I want to go through this position in detail with you. :D I thought up quite a few variations here and I'd like to go through them with you to see what ya think.

I know. This game is incredible. Every single move... so fraught with pitfalls and peril... half the time I don't know what to do either lol. Definitely the most Art of War game we've played. I'm sorta hoping it ends in stalemate.

as i said, what a game, so much peril with every possible move.

I don't know what to do?

this game is awesome...a true work of art as far as chess goes.

Ayup!

looks like this thing is about to bust wide open!

This is the standard sicilian so far, actually. I think it's the furthest we've actually played THROUGH the standard sicilian, ahaha.

Ahh, I see. And what do we have going on here...it looks like a somewhat different variation?

I forfeited the last game 'cuz I checkmated myself, lol.
