I'm surprised too. I severely underestimated him and didn't play with the care I should have, lol, allowing myself to make moves without thinking much on them.

Ya, he is sitting across the room from me right now. I am surprised, I have not played against him in years.

Ahahaha you'll be happy to know that RyNy beat me. I forgot to percieve and went from advantage to being in checkmate in about 6 moves. :P

Though it will slow me down a tad, ahaha. Two queens would give me a fairly fast checkmate.

I'm good with that, yep.

About that promotion, I can't give you 2 queens at the same time yet. It will be a rook, but I don't think that will be a problem.

Yep, that was my last hope.

At first I thought you meant mine. Then I saw your move, lol.

Bad move.

I played that wrong. Meh!

Should have just put you in check instead.

Pretty sure you coulda snuck out regardless of what I did, but I did move the wrong piece. Ah well.

This may be instant checkmate or maybe I can sneak out.

Not yet. Just wondering if it's possible before I try for it lol.

I can promote manually for now. Is there a game where you need it?

Is promotion enabled yet? And I've been making terrible moves all day. I had Justin in checkmate 6 moves in but I moved my knight to the wrong spot. :P

Ya, I thought you would move your queen to the bottom rank sooner.

It's not over yet. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the checkmate.

Lost the game there, I think.

Yeah most people aren't used to forks involving multiple pieces. Harder to track.

That one caught me way off guard.

I'd say that you are noticeably improving though.

It's a matter of perception combined with knowledge. I'm better at controlling the board than you are, and using that control to do one thing while attempting another.

Based on this it is temping to say no, I learned nothing. But this is going much better than the last game.

The last ~5 hours could be considered experimentation in pawn skeletons. Lets see if I learned anything.
