chesster3145 vs TheronG12 correspondence match

Yeah, probably not a good idea.

Are you using V3?

Yes. (I'm on mobile and can't send diagrams on V2.)

Missed it! Now following :)

Sigh... We have yet to finish one legitimate game.

Thanks MSC! I'd have advertised this a bit more but I wasn't sure people would be interested in a correspondence match between a couple lowly patzers.

To be honest, I prefer games between "a couple of lowly patzers", because at least then I can pretend to be smart. 

Game 3 finished. I'm not playing well at all so far. On the bright side, this will make MSC feel like Stockfish.

This is what I can do without checking the game with computer.

You can play 3. ...e6 in response to 3. e3 and try to transpose to main lines, but against 3. e4 you should take the bull by the horns: 3. ...c5, ...e5, ...Nc6 or ...Nf6 are your choices.

Thanks for the comments. MSC is right I think, up to move 7 I'm OK, I like white a bit better but I've won from here plenty of times. 7... Na5 is the first bad blunder and it went downhill from there.

Yay for the chess inferiority complex!

Some games ongoing. One I'm probably just prolonging an inevitable end, another is a fairly interesting one where I have two rooks to a queen, an extra kingside pawn but doubled queenside pawnns.

Thank you for the rook, Theron! 😄

That's 4-1 for me.

It would make my life easier if I would stop doing things like that.

One of the games seems to have disappeared?

Sending out challenges for games 7-11.

Only 2 challenges received so far.

#57, what if 23...f6? :)

Oh, wow...
