in this game i sacked my queen but messed up really i won but i think a slightly  higher  rated player would have punished me ... i think 19 rxb1 was a bad mistake i think i should have captured with the bishop .. but it does go to show how powerful a bishop pair can be....... any thoughts anyone

For the queen you manage to wipe out his queenside pieces and create a very uneasy position for him =D Your blitz and bullet games are rated 1000 and below, yet you play extremely well in long games, what is your secret. And yeah, nice game you played!

ive never played a blitz game my younger brother has been on my computer i must have still been logged in hes got his own now ... hes actually got quite good now...... im not a fan of blitz games i dont like rushing too many mistakes are made  a 10 or 15 min game is not exactly slow anyway

a bishop pair used in the right way is a very formidable force especially when there is a queen there is a real chance of a fatal pin ...well done
