So far so good for my internet connection through this weather, but it's going to deteriorate over the next 48 hours, so please be patient if I disappear.

Not sure if it's the same storm system, but it's crazy windy right now. I heard some tree branches cracking, and lights have flickered (northeast U.S.)

Us here in PA are experiencing moderately warm weather...

It's now officially the coldest weather on record for March in the UK, in terms of highest temperature for a 24 hour period. I found a field with a general 40cm and metre deep drifts, so yeah it's pretty exceptional for the UK.

 

Can't figure out if you have an attack so I'll take another look later.

HorribleTomato

I usually don't attack, but I can be sneaky, tactical, and EVIL when I need to be...

captaintugwash

20... Qx(13,-6)

HorribleTomato

B(3,5)+

captaintugwash

21... (4,6)

HorribleTomato

wait for board this is getting complicated... but you better watch out!

HorribleTomato

Actually Nx(4,6)

HorribleTomato

About that weather... it's now a blizzard here also.

captaintugwash

I am watching out. I don't think the knight sac is sound, but it's quite possible I'm missing something. I did anticipate this line of attack.

 

My move is forced here, I can't allow a discovered check, and the bishop is hanging.

 

22... Px(4,6)

HorribleTomato

It's sound. Bx(4,6)

HorribleTomato

Another thing too add on my anti-hawk list: They're far sighted, which makes them weaker in defense when close to the king!

captaintugwash

 Ok I'm waiting for board before I play what I think is best, just to be sure.

HorribleTomato

Yeah we went through a TON of moves very fast.

vickalan

19.R(12,-3)...G(9,9)
20.N(4,4)-(2,5)...Qx(13,-6)

null

Then:
21.B(3,5)+ ...(4,6)
22.Nx(4,6)...Px(4,6)
23.Bx(4,6)

null

captaintugwash

Yeah ok

 

24... Hx(4,6)

captaintugwash

If 25. Hx(4,6)+ my move is literally forced, 25... K(6,9), so feel free to take that move for granted if you recapture and play your next two moves.
