I think I win your queen now (?)

Yes, that’s right. I resign.

Good game. I tricked you in the end...but good game still.

I wonder if there are still any tournaments open for register? I feel like I could play some games now after a long hiatus

Very nice combination, I haven't seen this idea before

Thank you, I really only saw it after Nxg5 because I missed that and was desperate to find resources so that the four pawns on the right would not overwhelm my knights in an endgame which is clearly unfavorable

are ratings still a thing here?

We seem to have three active tournaments right now:

Bulldog Classic Tournament

Bulldog Cup 2024-25

Transformation Dog Tournament 2024-'25

In each of these tournaments I'm either eliminated or waiting for another game that will decide who will be my opponent. I'm in for another standalone game.

W.r.t. rating, puzzles started keeping track of them

Yes, absolutely. That would be great. Same rules?

I'm not able to do that anymore. I think someone else picked it up too
