i lost in this one but i liked my opponent's mate really a lot. i had seen it only in tactics or problems or in other player's games but it had never happened to me and i couldnt do nothing to stop it when i realized it.

This one had a cool pawn fork to win a piece, then a back rank mate

This one I won on time because when my opponent blundered a piece, they had 1 minute on their clock (It was a 3|0) then they disconected and then lost on time

This one had a cool attack although it probably wasn't sound because my opponent had 24. Rf2

This one in the end we both blundered our Q but my opponent didn't see mine due to 4 seconds on each of our clocks. I still would have won even if he had taken mine though.

well, all of these games are nice. well done matthew. will try to post some games too. they will probably be online ones because i have improved my rating a lot.
my online rating went down, but just by 20
I was 1649 and now i'm 1628
That's really good
re: resigning
At low rating, never resign. You're opponent is just as likely to blunder/not know technique as you are. At high rating, do it. Your opponent knows his stuff and if it's won, it's won.
time for me to post one more game. it wasnt a really awesome mate. what was AWESOME was the DEFENSE my enemy played and i think the way i faced it too. on of the best online games i have ever played.
what do you think? :
