I can't believe I missed this haha. I guess I was blinded by greed and just wanted to snatch up that rook.

"I just wanted to let you know that Chess.com was down today (Feb 3) for about 1.5 hours because of a major hardware failure at our data center in Los Angeles. This caused a ripple effect among a number of sites in the area. I am very sorry about the inconvenience. We have adjusted everyone's game clocks by 2 hours. We are looking into building better redundancy for our site and the 20+ servers we use to host Chess.com!"

I got a chance to play him because I won the blitz tournament on the last day of the London Chess Classic awhile back.
I'm just playing with you.

Sorry for the lateness in making my last moves. Been real busy these past couple of days.
I vote for the top 2 to move forward.

Are you shadster or shadster86?
Also, I think 2 should advance because we don't have that many people, but its all the same to me.

Good game OlimarFan. I plan on putting that in the queue for analysis, if you don't mind.
Edit: btw, I recently purchased the Platinum membership, so I can submit 25 games per week for analysis to a slightly stronger computer than basic membership. So if anyone who played me wants to submit a game for analysis, just ask and I'll post it here.

I also vote for top 2. Or top 3. Wouldn't matter, really.
I'm not going anywhere.XD
-Terywj
Looks like top 2 will advance then.
Of course, that's if you're willing to do so.
Also means that for future tournaments you could invite more than 7 and that all the who goes through... etc is controlled by chess.com.
Of course, that's if you're willing to do so.

Lol, can we really find 100 chess/smash players here? We might have to look on AiB as wellI could also help with the tournaments, if we ever need to start a 100 man tourney
P.S. OlimarFan, do you want our game analysed by a stronger computer? enigmaticcam got his premium memebership, and his analysis computer is stronger than ours.

You're being too hard on yourself. One thing that you can do to get better is learn some standard book openings. It's what made me as good as I am now.
One book I recommend is, "Modern Chess Openings 13th edition." you can find it at amazon.com for about 3 dollars used. Even though it said used, mine came to me in almost perfect condition. Just get it and make an opening repertoire.

Here's the analysis for my game with OlimarFan. I don't have time to do what N9NE did with the colors, sorry.
The obvious blunder was 20. Rd3. I don't even know why I made that move. I had first considered it, then discarded it because of the fork. Then sometime later I come back to make the move, and forgot about that and made it anyway! wtf was I thinking.
The other inaccuracies I'll have to sit down and look at myself so I can understand them. Besides that, there were a lot of times when my score would drop a couple tenths of a pawn, so I'm guessing I had a lot of small chances to capitalize the weaknesses in blacks position, but I failed to do so. Good game

Here's the analysis for the last game with spacemean-sean. I hope you don't mind that I did the analysis for this game, I had to see if what I was doing was as tactically sound as I thought.
Turns out it was. You could've held on with 14...Nb3+, though you'd have to play very delicately.
I think 4...h6 was played a little too early. Black can play this at some point, but first he needs to be a bit more developed. After 3. Bxf6, you either lose a pawn with 4...Qxf6 5. cxd5 exd5 6. Nxd5 or you suffer an ugly pawn structure with 4...gxf6 5. cxd5 exd5.

I'm just updating my record in the tournament hahaha.
@Enigmatic: You double-posted.
Dunno if you realized it?

They were two games with a large amount of text, so I double-posted to keep it from being one big jumbled mess.
I'd recommend any books by Jeremy Silman, he has a way of making subtle and complex chess concepts easily understandable to a chess player of any level.

So guys, what do I do. Try and see how long I can last in my last 2 games?

Tery, I'd try as hard as you can. Every game you play is a chance to learn, especially since one of your opponents is highly rated.

This. I'd much rather play better players than myself and lose all the time instead of winning against players around my skill level. It's necessary to improve.

Except I've lost to players worse than me.
This is one of my latest wins. (Including the tournament my week of chess is basically 2-13-2)

Two very cool games I've played recently for anyone who is interested. This site has made me so much better, its amazing. Also, I'm not posting these games because they are amazing or impressive by any stretch. In fact, in both games you'll find numerous mistakes and 2 specific blunders. I just love destructive sacrifices lol.
