I only played two games this week and managed to remain undefeated (I will not lose!) for the Rockford Rolling Thunder (Roll Thunder!) as we dismantled the Warriors 13-3. 

I wanted to say that I am trying to stick to basic and not lose and stay grounded with that being said the youngsters are hungry and putting a lot of pressure on these old brain cells. 

Below I will include my two games a bonus mini game and a position for you to evaluate on your own so we can grow together.

If you disagree with my comments, point of view, or if I made some blunder please help me by commenting below thank you and enjoy.

The 2nd game was an interesting development plan that I stuck to no matter what material was thrown my way.  Although I should have taken most of the offers.  As GM Ben said once greed is good!

The final game is me out prepping my 2200+ rated opposition in under 15 moves enjoy

In the following position I played Rh8 and resigned vs a gm opponent in this level game after making two other blunder prior I was still in a level game according to the engines.  Can you find the best move?



Bonus game for your enjoyment and to make me feel better.
