Chess Commentary Episode 11

Me (1831) vs GrapeDonaldson (1601). This game started out as an open sicilian but then I accidentally lost my g-pawn (damn mouseslips!). I was able to whip up a strong attack on his king. Unfortunately the attack didn't workout and ended up in an ending where I was down a piece. I got him to flag in a clearly won (for him) position though. Sorry Mr. Donaldson!

dam chess sites should maky uo confirm the move that mouse slip happens to me sooo often '!!!!!

[sagacious00004]

@dobsondale i don't think that will help especially when you get into time trouble! the best method would be for me to move slower and more carefully :) sometimes i'm in too much of a hurry!

[trixapete]

move 19 you could have sacked the exchange and got mate!

[sagacious00004]

19...Rxa4 20. bxa4 Qb6+ 21. Bxb6 ... I do not see the checkmate. Maybe 19...Rxa4 20. bxa4 Rxg5 but that does not really help me if he does not take back on g5, he could just play dxc6 and I am in big trouble again.

[chessmastor]

Yes, I meant draw.

My fault ;).

[sagacious00004]

haha thats ok, I figured since he was so low on time I would just win on time :)

[myrrormynd]

Hey, it was cool to see you get the win even with that mouse slip in the beginning. Must've been aggravating at first!

[sagacious00004]

haha RxR RxR KxR and all I have left is a king and a knight, not enough to win with.

[chessmastor]

Move 59ish, you could've taken his rook and won.
