Chess: Live Blitz game 9

This is another live blitz game played on FICS. This one is between me (Shidinov, FICS 1763) and NeoKarpov (FICS unrated). It is a Four Knights Scotch where I try to focus on occupying the c5 square and ultimately succeed. My opponent resigns after losing a piece to a queen check in the endgame.

black could have trapped queen with g5?

...g5 tends to hang h6

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.

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!
