seems like a good win.  there was a lot of dancing around in the middle game and leading up to the end game that gave you the advantage IMO.

Respect.  That was a great game.  When he resigned did a bit of wee come out?

You missed a fine move after 9... Bxf3? 10. exf3! Ngxe5 (demonstrative purposes) 11. f4 Ng6 (or Ne7) 12. a3 Be7 13. Re1 +- white absolutely has the initative.

good game anyways, just thought I would pipe in.

Oh that is frustrating (from the perspective of a fellow 2100) ... you play super well, very simply, build an advantage, start playing quickly expecting another 'quick crush' and you screw up tactically and get punished!  Good for you! :)

jpd303

its the arrogance factor...i get it too when im playing like a 1600 or so...same pattern...build an advantage then get comfortable, then move without thinking then BAM lost game...it sucks but the other guy is happy...im the other guy for once!

Croat_1993

but have you ever beat a 2000+ guy in a tournament otb

jpd303

not in otb...my biggest scalp otb was only a 1650 but i was rated 910 back then, and i havent played a serious otb game since 1997 (so my rating is still technicaly 910, but im at least a 1400 otb im sure)
