Denker: Round 4

Okay, everyone, sorry this is a bit late, but I was at the venue all day today, and so I could not post my game.

So. The quick answer to the elephant in the room is that I lost to New Hampshire, a 2082

However, this may be one of the very best games I've ever played. Essentially, I did very well out of the opening (despite thinking for mammoth amounts of time), and I conjured up a good attack. However, (Yes, that wonderful, terrible word that gracefully haunts the chess-player's life) I was low on time and could not find the way to finish my attack.

So my attack spit, sputtered, and died. A draw then became my goal, so I offered one. He declined. "Bleh... he still thinks he might win," I thought. I played on. So did he. And eventually, he found the win. (But, hey, I still got to promote to a Queen — that's fun, right? tongue.png)

If you're still alive by the time you finished reading all that, here is the game, in all it's...

So there it is. It's sort of a bummer, but actually, I don't feel too bad about it. I know that I can get there; I just need to be able to finish. Ah, life. But we rise again!
 
See y'all in a few minutes, because I need to do game 5 next!

P.S.  As of round 4's completion, I still haven't gotten any trinkets! My dad came up with a plan for how to solve that, though. I may tell it later.
