Rethoric 1.4.1 Vs Me... Attention Albert!

Post by fern »

I was defeated, of course. My goal was to get until at least move 40 and I got it. Clearly in the end I made one or two erroneous moves that impeded me to get half a point. My king was slightly less dynamic than Rethoric one and that was enough to lose...

Code: Select all

No problem, Fern. You can enclose the pgn text between
the [pgn] and [/pgn] tags and the game will appear with
a replay board next to it.
Cheers,

Thank you Carl.
I hope next time I post a game, which I rarely do, I will remember those tags you mention.
Looking at my game is irritating realize that just one move faster of my king would have been enough to stop black king and get 1/2 point.

Frustrated regards

Don't get frustrated. After the training with rhetoric, now play a game against a human... ¡you will destroy him!
I'm sure you will start to think in crazy ideas like strange positional pawn advances, sacrifices and unbalanced positions.
Still learning how to play chess...
knigths move in "L" shape ¿right?

I don not play humans. Too weak for me :-)
