degraged yes i was hopping to pin his king on the king side as my king side pawn formation was strong. felt my opponent would go for queen .
Upabushtrack u are right might have prolonged the game ,but was a bullet game and people don't see knight attack well during end games in bullet.
It's encouraging to know player employed the Hippo in their game and
won quite fairly well. Last year I had played my memorable game with
the Hippo which I will feature here. Thank you sonofnovosibirsk for
that wonderful game of yours.
Thanks deconjun nice game it was played under 15min against a strong opponent makes it even more better
It is a very nice game ... your attack was great, I am impressed! You had a good calculation - I guess one move off and white could have defended.
