  Could have been worse, could have been better.

you also should of played 31. b8=Q. How could someone miss that regardless of the counter attack on the bishop.

Just a thought, but like bolshevik said, you could have easily promoted 31.b8=Q and had a quicker game.   It wasn't necessarily a mistake, just made the game a little longer.  It would have ended after 31....ANYTHING followed by mate in at most 4 (no petty checks by black to make it mate in 5 or 6 because the queen is out of position and the bishop is pinned).   Anyway, both your analysis and play were good.  I like to know what people are thinking and why they move the way they do.  Very fun game to watch.  Thanks for posting, and maybe challenge me sometime to a game!  Thanks,

It's not that i didn't see it's just i didn't want to play it, I was playing against a good friend who said he was better than me. I simply wanted to see if he would surprise me with something..

Thanks for the comment.. well this game was played like on an actual board not through computer i just posted it on here. I would gladly challenge you but, I really really suck playing through computers i'm not  used to how they look and i can't make all the calculations, tactics etc.  like how i can on an actual board

that's the dumbest thing ive hear you didnt play the best move because you wanted to see what he would play

And how would that be dumb... I was not  trying to win that was not my intension i was simply playing just to play. I was not really trying to win it was more like a passive game for me i wanted to see if he had improved which he did...

well well well you sound just like my friend, we played and he lost and if you think i suck so much why not a match ? People also play for different reasons its not always about wining i simply like to play, I always have and always will

Gato's lying about not trying to win. I just played him and he told me that he could of won, that he wasnt paying attention, w/ this excuse and that excuse.Then he wanted a rematch after i went out of my way  playing w/ 400 points ahead having everything to lose and nothing to gain. No way you're getting a rematch. I proved you were an inferior player, and the bottom line is that you can't be trusted.
