and saw it was from my own game! what are the odds...

Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!  That's funny!

Goes to show that a player can't play at their best all the time!

Main reason is the artifical time-pressure created in Tactics Trainer. I get most of them right - but not within that stop-watch time period - and failing to do that within those few seconds counts as failure!

it's kind of weird erik, because you're always saying that you're horrible at chess, but now you've even gone so far as to put your own games into TT, so the whole world can see your great tactics and learn from them! Cool

and then when you win and like your game, you just love to post links to the game so everyone can admire your chess genius! it might be better to ask your opponent before doing that...

but i have to admit, that incident was pretty funny. Laughing
