Weath Dec 2020 12:12pm, 27 Dec 2020 579 posts	Quote Pin Weath "I missed a quicker mate against Weath" Alright, no need to rub it in! 🤣 One positive in the game where I played white was that I at least chose some correct moves during the later part of the game. The more I think I'm getting to grips with this (puzzles, lessons etc.), the worse I actually become when on the board.
BrianJ Dec 2020 12:28pm, 27 Dec 2020 1,435 posts	Quote Pin BrianJ Quick look at previous position d7+ then Bxd7 but I can't see a follow up. First instinct would be Rc7+ then d7 threatens a nasty discovered check
SPR Dec 2020 1:47pm, 27 Dec 2020 32,725 posts	Quote Pin SPR Draw by agreement with SD, after my error to give back the piece that SD had given me by his error, I was on the defensive for the rest of the game so a nervous one for me. Interestingly the error to give up a piece and then the subsequent error to return it were the only two mistakes in the game (no other inaccuracies or blunders).
Salty Dog Dec 2020 2:49pm, 27 Dec 2020 1,527 posts	Quote Pin Salty Dog Indeed, good game SPR! A fairly straight-forward encounter leading to the point where a draw was a good option, rather than one of those 'many pawn' endgames that are brain frying. No fireworks to thrill the spectator but enjoyable game, thanks.
