Good game, and I really enjoyed playing it. I do think the hunter is a great piece to play with. I think it was invented by Tomato, but I don't see him playing anymore.meh.png

I think you played accurately, except the following:

Edit: I should also say 14.Bf5 was probably inaccurate. It loses the knight while also putting the queen under attack. (14.Bf5...Nxf5, 15.Qh3)

 

Also:
25.Nf4

Black follows ...HxB, causing White to lose the bishop and Black now has a centrally located hunter. (The hunter gets a big advantage when it moves by capture because it suddenly goes from the fringes to a central location).


Also at:
35.Hg4...Qg5
I think better play would have been:
36.Rc4...QxP
37.Hf5...Qg5

This attacks Black's rearmost pawn forcing Black to use two pieces to defend it. Black is still better, but I can't say for sure if White still has a drawing opportunity or not. (from here I would play on even from White hoping for a draw - but the game could go on for awhile).

Anyway, great game and thanks for playing!happy.png

No problem. Just send over a message whenever you need more rating points

Would you like to play against someone else? I'd like to try a different tool for producing boards, but I'd rather just do the boards and not play (for right now). I'll be using the Musketeer board tool. The style will look like this:

No thanks. I've got a lot of games still going
