I'm a little offended that this is what KC "expects of an 1800" - I'm around that rating, and if I played as badly as this guy did in this game I would be very embarassed... come to think of it, I don't really like it when KC calls anyone under about 1800 a "bunny" - pretty offensive tbh... the fact is that if chess ratings were weighted using a system where the amount of time you have available to practice was taken into account I would be way up there (I have almost 0 free time)... /end rant

@dtuyfguyf The game yesterday to be honest was unbelievable how it was played by White. I did run it through an engine inspection and there were a number of top moves an engine would have played - he only blundered in the rook and pawn ending. Considering I'm in the UK Top 100 rating list for 30 minute chess, don't you think that game was just sightly odd - all those rook manoevers, Qd6 etc?! Or not?! Even Rh3 wasn't a blunder to Nf4 because of Ree3. It was like playing someone 2100+

[jewbinson]

19...Nc2

[Buri1750]

Yeah 18...Nc2 was the move..

[junkyjuice21]

What about Nc2 to use your knight to deflect the queen off the protection of the passed d pawn?

[illmaculatechess]

@dtuyfguyf spoken like a true bunny

[luisfigo19851]

Nc2!!!! withno complications... d pawn will falll

[Mwuesse]

@jewbinson Not sure how KC didn't spot this, I saw it right away and I'm not even that good haha!

[gunuffimoo]

From now on it rather be "toast" or "easy meat" kc :D. This is a game and rivalry goes with the territory. Those who cant take the teasing should stop playing games.

@elgrau1

Carry on making completely benign comments while I have a nice conversation with KC

@kingscrusher

Thanks for the reply - you may have a point, but have you considered that it may just be someone in unfotunate circumstances who is well below their actual rating!? e.g. I signed up to a site and stated with a 1200 rating - I played bad so I was down to 1120. Annoyed, in the next game I really concentrated and destroyed a 1900... I can see how he must have thought I was an engine user! My point is try not to be quite so paranoid... some of us "bunnies!" can play well sometimes!

[fenetre109]

I meant Nc2 of course...

[fenetre109]

18.... Kc2 in stead of .... e6
