Seeing as no-one else has posted the first game:

Shame that such a dynamic position ended in a quick blunder.

And the game of Round 2:



BloodyJack

Wow, really surprised that ended in a draw! Surprised

JMB2010

Wow, look at this amazing line my engine gives if white takes on h7.

MSC157

Woaah, I'd have never seen that. I was able to get only to Nf5. :) 

GreenLeaf14

In my opinion it would be better if there were some world chess tournaments at live chess both at slow and fast games

people would cheat, use engines to get out of bad positions or to get an attack going for a few moves then stop so they wouldnt get caught.........................

 

the only way for a legit Chess.com Chess Championships is a Blitz 3 | 0 . Perfect timing so no one has time to cheat.

Doubt it. Have you never seen an engine for bullet, which is faster than Comp-4IMPOSSIBLE? 

This championship is made for fun and no one wants to cheat, so no worries, it's also unrated...

However, please discuss this on Cheating Forum, and not here (if possible). Smile But you can comment our games. :)

MSC157, if you win, who will be your next challenger?

And the same question for MaartenSmit of course too, would you continue with those "matches"? Smile

Yes, I thought also about that but since I'm not premium member, I cannot organise such a tournament. So it will be "Steinitz style". I mean, like 100 years ago. Laughing

MaartenSmit

Nah I'd probably pull an Alekhine and die with the title in hand :)

Schiffrin

Nice answers! Wink
