Nice
Broke 700 with a family fork
 
    
  
  
  Except that on Mar. 22, you resigned when you lost your Queen on move 8!
Yeah you got me there buddy. I believe it was pretty late and I was getting mentally fatigued. I didn't even see that I could threaten his Queen with my light squared Bishop if he chose to take my queen. Looking at that game I am kind of scratching my head right now. There were a couple of moves I could have made and I definitely gave up too early. I probably assumed I was already in a losing position with no way to mitigate my impending losses. But like I said you got me there. I could have also moved my queen to G4 and offered a trade of Queens. I obviously was not thinking straight. I appreciate you calling me out. It forced me to review that game and see there were alternatives to resigning.

Gotta teach ya how to post games. Lol
 
    
  
  
  I'd like to be at your level, my guy. 700 is nothing to that. 😆
 
    
  
  
  No one asked. You're pathetic.
There's always one. 🤣🤣🤣
There's always one guy who gloats about his chess accomplishments in his forums.

Who's gloating here? Definitely not me. But I do enjoy sharing progress qnd actively seeking advice and criticisms of my play to improve my overall understanding of the game. You're much higher rated than I am and yet you still feel the need to put people down for feeling the pride of progress? Sounds pretty sad to me. Chess doesn't need gatekeeping dbags raining their crap down on people trying to learn the game. With such a high rating one would think you'd try to be a leader and teacher of the game instead of a condescending clown. And your simple minded assertions do not dissuade from feeling proud for each step that I take. You don't like it, GET OUT OF MY SWAMP! Or simply put, stay off my post. That simple. People are allowed to feel good about improving their game. 🙏🤝
 
    
  
  
  Good for you. Just know that no one above >1500 wouldn't find the queen back to d1 move  Since it's the obvious only move. But you did get a winning position with your pawn advance so well done.

I was expecting the queen to move back to d1 and I was surprised and excited when I saw the move to e3. I've only achieved the family fork one time before. It doesn't happen often but I felt pretty comfortable with the opportunities I had to push my Pawns in this game. Thanks for the positive vibes, friend.
 
     
     
    
The game that put me over 700. Got him with the dirty family fork there and he resigned which I gotta admit I was kind of disappointed. I'd have liked this game to continue as it wasn't completely over yet.
But I figured I'd share the moment. I'm exhilarated as my first goal was 600 and I climbed to 700 a matter of days after that. Taking a few days to learn some new openings and prepare for the more challenging games ahead but I am looking forward to it.
