Chess club

I haven't played in years. Been getting so frustrated in some games v randoms.
Also on the app v computer I can't get past Antonio (level 1500 advanced)

No doubt cheating but if anyone gets stuck could post a screenshot on here for advice?

@rangor gubbins Thanks for the game. Sorry for my abrupt resignation, I was having a bad day, and realised I was in a bit of a pickle :cry:.

It started well and somewhere in the middle I just fell of the board! You have so many ways to defend it's crazy, I never felt I could break you down.

No worries at all. Good game. Thought I had ballsed it up for a while but managed to claw it back. Once the queens were off the board I found things got easier.
 
@rangor gubbins You really do play a hard game, very tricky for myself to read! The very early attack with the Queen and Bishop was a little scary, I had to really think of ways that wouldn't open my position to be mated in 1, until I could kick you out. When you castled, I thought I was heading towards a win, I felt pretty good after seeing that.

When I checked your King with my Queen, I was calculating you to either move the King or block with the Knight, giving me an easy Bishop. I comepletely didn't see the Bishop move coming, which threw me off. I didn't think you'd take my Queen with your Queen either.

Then when we got the big trade offs, I missed the chance of taking the Bishop that was attacking my Rook with my own Bishop. I was was just looking at your Bishop attacking my Rook on the next move, completely overlooked I was attcking you. Then everything went downhill pretty quickly.

Yeah, sorry about the early attack with the queen and bishop. I didn't think you would miss it and give me an early win, but I thought it might make you make a mistake and give me a piece or two. You didn't though!
You played really well and were in a better position than me for most of the game. As you said, it didn't quite work out at the end though and I managed to do some damage with the bishops.
Good game.

Good game mate.

I think I got lucky with how your rooks ended up trapped in the corner. I was desperately trying to keep the position closed for most of it.

I'm sure you'll get me next time. :)

As soon as you forked my castle and king with your bishop it was pretty much game over. Definitely a tough end game for me.

Now I've got to see if I can survive @danlightbulb 's onslaught
