There's a very good reason not to play the English attack -

WOW - I was considering posting messages but, WOW, even in chess, a sophisticated sport we have rude people.  I think I will send one to one messanges.

I wonder if the site does monitor comments, no need to make fun, just rude.

bettensmajic

Hey dude, I have some questions.

Today I had my first win against a titled player (aside from a bullet game).  It has been a goal of mine to defeat a titled player, so I'm happy.

However, his resignation came as a shock to me!  I still don't know if I even had the better position (it's not a balanced position).  I don't know that I really "defeated" him or if he just gave up.

So here are my questions:

  1. Why do you think he resigned?
  2. Was his resignation justified?  If so, why?
  3. In my opinion, the position was really unbalanced, and even if I have an advantage, he should play on until it's very obvious.  Do you agree?
  4. How do you think the game might have continued if he didn't resign?

Here is the position that he resigned in:

I'll take a shot at answering those questions:

1. He thought you would win anyway if he didn't.

2. Yes, because he thought you were gonna win anyway.

3. To him it was already obvious that you were gonna win.

4. You would win.

FireBrandX and pfren have a good solution to this problem.

bettensmajic

to SJFG 

1. you had a better position

2. u were dominating the queenside and his king was trapped

3. i don't think so because he might have had real coaching and he thought maybe if u lost rating but 1 h would loose even more rating

4. i think that white would have pushed the pawn beside the queen (near king) so that he wouldn't overpowered you. also i think that u played EXTREMELY well and u were dominating him and he didn't want to be CHECKMATED !
