hehehe, sometimes I hit accept by accident too.

As for that, I have always played by a strategy, which actually tends to be my weakness because while I am very strong offensively, I make a lot of defensive errors which I get punished for. :P

Well, in this game I made the mistake that gave him my knight purely by accident (I didn't mean to hit accept... I didn't even know that I hit accept until after he had moved, lol.) So seeing him move again and realizing my error, I actually immediately moved without thinking about the board. Which gave him my queen, lol.

hehehe. I don't know about you Devin, but I find being able to look at every move before accepting E.g. I cancel a lot of moves, tends to make me over think things, and I end up screwing up. I also find I am relying more on combination/calculating moves rather then overall strategy, which I think is a mistake.

Well I spent like an hour looking at this trying to figure out how to prevent your queen from doing dirty things to me before I realized that Rh5 traded a rook and a pawn for your queen...

Funny thing is, I knew the second I made the move that I royally screwed up, then thought "ah well. If I'm ridiculously lucky, he won't notice." Lol.

By that I mean don't move from f, lol.

There is some hope if you don't move your f rook. Offered you the rollback.

So I see that Rc8 lost me both knights to avoid checkmate... somehow I just disregarded the potential of the Qf6, so I did nothing to mitigate that or even minimize the damage. Do you think there's anything to be gained by rolling back to before Re8, or was it already too late by then?
