I missed Qxf1.

Oh ok.I expected you to see that.I think you should capture my knight earlier instead of my pawn.

Interesting game though

The guard is basically a king, except it can be captured and isn't subject to check.

You can follow our game if you want.You can also join the tournament we are participating if there is a empty spot.

Yes, I can win a pawn because after the knight trade I capture a pawn with check. I did consider it but then thought you were dropping a knight with Nxe4. The witch is a tricky piece, I've been checkmated after 7 moves due to not paying it enough attention.

I mean this isn't a disaster, I'm certainly not resigning, but you're better now.

I may be up the exchange but your pieces are more active so I won't say I am better.

Avatar of captaintugwash

You definitely made the right move there. I think anything else and your queen is in big trouble.

Avatar of haoming09

Yeah.That is why I am very paranoid when I am playing with you bc I know you are quite strong.

Really hope a Bishop for a Guard trade is worth it.

Avatar of captaintugwash

Not an easy choice for me. I feel like the guard is the better piece, but I don't want to give up the bishop pair.

Avatar of haoming09

Really?I thought Guard is like on the same level with Knight due to its movement.But yeah,I think you really need your bishop pair in this situation since you are down the exchange.
