  • black could have trapped queen with g5?

  • ...g5 tends to hang h6

  • oops quite right.

  • @GreenCastleBlock what if he moved his king to h7 first

  • Good win

  • Great game.. Thanks for the post

  • gg!

  • Great game, Matt! Nice win. Looking forward to more from ya.

    Incidentally, why do you use WinBoard? BabasChess is seems a friendlier and more powerful interface for Windows XP.

    Also, did you ever have a "GreenCastleBlock" handle on FICS? Somehow I feel that I remember you on that handle.

  • 1) thanks

    2) this is Thief, I use a WinBoard-like color scheme

    3) No, GreenCastle was open last time I checked but the admins are stuffy and won't let me change my name there. I've had the Shidinov handle there since high school. Any FICS "GreenCastle" or "GreenCastleBlock" is an imposter. Why anyone who want to pretend to be me is a mystery though.

  • lol @ "he is materialistic". I love listening to your video commentary.

  • nice to see some new stuff from you castle block :D

  • I am impressed at how you analyse tricky possibilities so quickly... I'm guessing it's got to do with familiar patterns?

  • Yes pattern recognition is a big part of tactical play... although I am not the best at it, a lot of players are built to look for tactics in every single position, these players excel at blitz and internet play where the deeper tactics are completely absent and strategic plans can be foiled by one mistake in time pressure.

  • Nice check at the end

  • Nice to see you back Matt, I love the live Blitz games, I might make some of these myself soon.

    Keep up the good work!

  • Dunno why everyone loves these; I'm terrible at online blitz. Thanks for commenting!

  • Nice game Castle!  Looking forward to more blitz!

  • At 1:57 black could of g5 and your queen would of been lost no?

  • qxh6..loses a pawn for nothin

  • No, Bg3Xg5

  • Or Qxh6

  • ...g5 leads to Qxh6 and ..Be7 I was planning just Qg3, but maybe Bd4 is playable!?

  • very nice ending. Check out my game on my channel also. Keep these coming.

  • PillsBlurry eh? I think I played you a couple days ago.

  • not bad but hurry up and get higehr rating wanna se 2k rating games :)

  • lol... keep in mind I haven't played rated chess on FICS in years.. internet blitz rating is not a big goal of mine :)
