Yep, I hope this doesn't stop him from sharing other cool stories like this one in the future.

Great story, I chuckled some by my computer when she announced how great you are.
Stories like these are pretty much the only reason I visit these forums anymore.

I enjoyed reading that. Thanks for taking the time to post it. Very cool that your wife encouranged the games. My wife would've been like, "Do you have to play NOW?? Let's go to dinner." LOL

ditto, i found that point quite funny also. a charming story really. when i attended penn state, our chess club would play in a public area, chess boards already set up, so sometimes a guy would stop by and play, and occasionally with a girlfriend watching. it would be kind of cute, with the guy saying "well...i'm pretty good," and then the poor guy getting pounded by one of the regulars. the funniest for me was in high school when i mated a guy in 6 moves in about 5 seconds with the girlfriend watching; she said "you suck " [to her boyfriend of course!] and stormed off ; i said sorry ... while bursting into laughter, couldn't help it. :-)

Believe me my wife in the past would not have been "Cool" with it. It was just that I stuck to my committment to give myself a chess break and she was rewarding me by being cool about it :)
I don't really see what was so special about the story. So your wife said you were good and you had to play drunk. If you lose then that's your excuse. Anyway I've seen my drunk brother look at a game (who's normally pretty good), and he'll miss a lot of simple crap, (also one time a drunk guy thought the edge of the board was the i file) so it's no small feat to play the game pretty cleanly.

Well, Nice story, I have had five drinks so I may be all off, but as early as move 16. I would have played 16.NxN exf4, then Bxd4 and I see myself winning alot of pawns after the trade offs!
When I was in Germany, I enjoyed playing the giant size chess pieces, even after several German beers, lolo You Have a great wife!!

Don't you mean Nf6+...?
Yeah, I did, sorry.
The game was good one.
I wouldn't say that a few martinis constitutes being drunk.
On a tangent, your wife tells you when you can play chess and when not ? On those occasions when you are permitted to play, you also have to do so whether you are feeling like it or not, and you must then win regardless of the shape you are in ? Pretty tough it sounds.
how charming of your wife :) nice story. happy anniv
