These two games I lost because I got held up by the police, they said I matched the description of a house robber in the area. This was about at about 3am. I knew I had just the correct time left for these moves with no dawdling when they surrounded me. Of course they had no right to waste my time like that, when they could be out catching the REAL criminal. I was held up for about a full hour because I refused to tell these police who I was. I won't post my rant here about the police, if you want to see it just message me and I'll send it. Anyway, in these games who do you think is better off and why. Who do you reckon has the best positions?

In the first game, I think you have a slight advantage, and in the second, your opponent does. In the first one, your half-open file is better than his, so your rooks can get involved more easily. In the second one, his rooks are better placed, and your knights are almost out of play.

Sorry to hear about your trouble with the police.
These police in this day in age they are soft, they're fairies, lol. They've been that way since the 80's though. But before the 80's they had some gumption and some tough guys.

1. You are obliged to tell the police your name, if asked.
2. How do you know what the police were like in the 80's? you were born in 1992.
3. Come clean now.... held by the police? more like hungover after a Vimto too many.
I'd had a few ya, but I still knew everything that was being said. They said I was being very Naive, lol. More like they lacked self respect and respect for the public at that. But one of these police had this note pad and said I matched the description of a burglar in this area who had ript someones door off with a crow bar or something, who I knew nothing of. "Young white male, about 5'8" silm build long black hair in pony tail with white shirt" Anyway they soon figured out I wasn't the culprit at all. They way I know the police were better in the 80's and before hand is because maybe I have a friend who's 62...
OK guys, this is the Game Analysis forum, does anyone else have something to say about the games?
Rich,
let me tell you how to deal with the police. Talk politely and in an even tone. Most times, they'll let you go on your way with minimal hassle. Indeed, I've been let off speeding tickets (on at least three occasions) and defective vehicle offences (e.g. blown light) by simply turning the charm on.
Remember, you can't win against the Old Bill, they play a team game.
Not really, your assessment pretty much said it all.
This is just basically what my mum said...
If the police hadn't of stopped me in the first place this wouldn't be happening.
