Do you have any idea how condescending you are?Jack Lad wrote:Masterbaiter wrote:Ke2 ... I think I have a decent advantage. Enough to win? Perhaps
You should win this one Martin, infact black has been lost from the start, but I will play on for a few more moves before resigning.

No idea at all but if I really wanted to be condescending then I could have said that he should have played his last move two moves ago.Terry McCracken wrote:Do you have any idea how condescending you are?

Re: The Duras
Oh, you do. I suggested to him Ke2 earlier, he didn't take my advice. I rarely say anything but now he has winning chances but you have a lot of play and if you're careful still have drawing prospects. I'm not sure why you avoided taking on b2 as it was a draw.Jack Lad wrote:No idea at all but if I really wanted to be condescending then I could have said that he should have played his last move two moves ago.Terry McCracken wrote:Do you have any idea how condescending you are?

Re: The Duras
I agree that taking the pawn on b2 instead on move 48 would have drawn the game but you have already posted the correct answer to your question yourself:Terry McCracken wrote:I'm not sure why you avoided taking on b2 as it was a draw.
Martin seemed to be happy to play for a draw when he played Kf2 instead of Ke2 on move 47 so I thought that playing for repetition instead of taking the pawn on b2 would oblige him much more quickly.Terry McCracken wrote:Why you failed to take the b-pawn is simple, you are going for repetition...
Yes and since Martin declined to repeat the position he can now play for a win again. He gave me a second chance to draw the McMad declined game so it seems only fair that I give him a second chance to win this one.Terry McCracken wrote:As I said earlier, you're headed to b1.
