I got completely stuck early on and then fumbled around the board; you seemed to have the board covered wherever I went until the end. We were both more accurate this time and, once again, at a similar level. I enjoy playing against you - your pace suits me. Thank you.

The old iPhone SE is there for scale. No idea how old it is, it was my grandads and my nan gave it to me after he died. It's not an antique as the pieces are plastic, still a lovely little set.
Diogenes Jan 2021 9:28pm, 8 Jan 2021 56,451 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes I made one hideously stupid mistake when I moved my Queen into a place where you could take it. I could see checkmate in two but missed the bloody obvious. It was all over after that.

GimmeMedals Jan 2021 9:32pm, 8 Jan 2021 19,348 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals I wasn't sure if you'd realised your Queen could be taken or if that was part of your plan. It still took a long time after that to get into a position where I felt I had the advantage. There were a couple of times when you took pieces without me realising they were vulnerable. It's easy to get too focused on one part of play and overlook everything else isn't it!
