Patzer to (Grandmaster) No! just Patzer, Schadenfreude Anybody?
I won a couple games this week. One was in 8 moves. The other where the player lost his connection. Those were my wins. Sad.
On the other hand, I lost a game that I should have drawn. It was equal. The engine called it drawn, but I made one bad king move. And I have been studying my endgame! Still, I screwed it up. That will be the first game that I have annotated and shown.
The second game I had a commanding 4-point advantage in the end game. I had an extra piece and I #%@&ed it up. Yep, I did. So, Schadenfreude everybody. Enjoy my misery. Laugh if you want. I deserve it. Call your neighbors have them come over. Watch endlessly and roll on the floor. You can't kick me anymore than I am. This puts a real damper on my chance to get 40 points up this month.

If you are wondering, the better way to play the opening would be:
