on another note, even though I am not down any material against John in my current game, I can see through his plan np.....he is on the brink of fucking me over in about three different ways:0

Indeed, that game was yours. I'm still not convinced that I could have earned the draw, but if you say so, I'll take it. And yes, your reasoning behind your downfall seems to be very common on here. I know often when I make a mistake it is a rushed moved, and being that this is essentially correspondence chess, it is wise to not make any moves unless they are fully thought over. I feel cell phone moves are often some of my weakest:)

I agree with your reasoning. :) I'm not angry. I just typed that while in the middle of a fairly bad time at work, lol. Your reaction tells me enough such that I prefer the draw. :) After all, I DID fall for your trap. If I don't fall for your trap, it's gg. Anyways, I made the original mistake with Bg5. I had a much better decision with Qxc5, but I didn't take it because I was tired and didn't want to think it through your trap. Then I forgot that I thought you were setting up a trap in the first place.

Anyways, end result is I really need to stop playing quite as much, ahahaha, because I've been so very tired lately.

Would you like to play it out any ways? I wasnt totally convinced of my reasoning.

... Qh1+ Kf2 Qf3+ Kg1 rinse repeat draw requested.

Oh, no, I am quite certain that it was planned. It's a stalemate as is. I requested the rollback because I realized seconds later that I gave you the free stalemate, ahaha. I'm cool with the stalemate, was a knee-jerk reaction.

Sidenote: If I assumed you didn't see it, it would be legitimately idiotic for me to request the rollback, because the action of requesting a rollback on a move that wins me material ASSURES you that I gave you either checkmate or stalemate, therefore showing you what you did.

hmmm are you offering me a rollback because you think i didnt see that? That was the move I was hoping you would do.

Not unless you screwed up. I worked out an easy winning continuation for you.

You figured you couldnt win? I thought there was a chance for a draw for you
