jda Apr 2022 8:23am, 16 Apr 2022 12,370 posts	Quote Pin jda Disappointed to be finishing 2nd, unless there's a miracle I'll be a half (or maybe a full 1) point behind the winner in my chess.com group. Had first place in my hands with a drawn position against Mr Fantastic, when I reached this position and fluffed it: Full game is here chess.com He's won/winning all of his last 4 games, including this one, to pip me at the last minute. Three of them were probably draws until a few days ago. A good effort by him to squeeze out the full point in so many endgames. Shame as I was starting to look forward to getting soundly trounced by 11 really good players in the next round Still, I was lucky to get so close really.

I've been watching the Anniversary cup games and a couple caught my eye. One isn't yet finished so won't post that yet but... Congrats to JoeCarr28 for the upset of the tournament Vs jda. I wasn't sure about the sac till the very end but it was "truly an amazing move" chess.com

JoeCarr28 Apr 2022 11:01am, 16 Apr 2022 73 posts	Quote Pin JoeCarr28 I ought to 'fess up and say that I can't take too much credit for the win against jda. The game pretty much followed a moveset from Chess.com's Opening Explorer. I suspect a lesser opponent would have deviated from the script long before the end.

SPR Apr 2022 11:33am, 16 Apr 2022 36,646 posts	Quote Pin SPR axb3 is what I thought, analysis says fxg5.
SPR Apr 2022 11:36am, 16 Apr 2022 36,647 posts	Quote Pin SPR Actually when you play axb3 it also says best and that fxg5 is an alternative.
