I only saw the Qd4++ but that was the only one I could block, lol.

yea, you needed to gain a move some how to get you bishop and knight out to support your queen. any ways, night man.

I know it was a good response I just didn't know what the hell to DO with it, lol. I couldn't think of anything to really accomplish.
Mike

not now, I think you're on the ropes. That's too bad, your response with your queen to that earlier blunder was a good 1. you had me worried that I castled too early, and I thought you were going to start pressing on that side of the board.

you never know, it only takes 1 slip up
Mike

ahhh man, did you see your queen was under attack?
Devin

I don't think you're bad enough that I can accomplish it, but who knows!
Devin

My goal is stalemate this game, lol.
Mike

yes, that's the problem with having to much time to move.
Devin

Wasn't even not paying attention, I'd seen it the move before then forgot about it when I was making my decision, lol.
Mike

Damn pawns!
Devin

Lol wow. I so didn't see that. ^^; Le sigh.

agreed, there are variations, but I think the main thing is that your development into the middle is a bit late, but lethal once you do make a move to it.

Oh right the beginnings of the sicilian were what I used against Justin. I only got the first move from it from that, didn't know where I was actually supposed to go with it from there, ahaha.

Lol yeah I'll have to look up what the sicilian is. Board control is one of the things that I do well though.
Mike

It looked like you were playing pretty well to me, but I was more interested in watching your control of the board. I saw you used a variation of the sicilian at 1 point, but that is about the depth of my knowledge.

Most of my chess playing since high school has been trying to teach Justin.

Lol no idea. I've never played competitively. But thank you for the heads up, I will take you seriously and try to avoid the myriad of dumb mistakes I've been making elsewhere.

I've got it. I'm looking forward to playing you...I have reviewed a few of your games and I think you and I will be a good match. Do you know what your rating is(approximately)?
