I suppose that's better than rising to a 1500. Heh xD

akafett

You're right about that. we are currently material even after 3 exchanges. Positionally, I think I have the advantage.

If he takes your d-pawn, take back, check, and you can see the rest Laughing

PS I just lost an "online chess" game on time. Super lame of me. I had the tab open on my browser to make a move last night and I closed all windows I guess without thinking before I closed my laptop. SO SAD. >:[

akafett

I did not expect him to take the d-pawn.

And if you are not careful, you're going to time out like I do; way too often.

It hurts the most to time out on an interesting game :'(

akafett

For me, this is a very interesting game. Or it was. I'm notorious for creating a good position only later to ruin it.

^ Does that mean you are actually watching my game? Cheerleader? How nice of you. Thank you for the support.

Seriously, I don't want to get overconfident, but I think my play so far has been sound.

akafett I LOVE your interpretation of my 100% random pusheen sticker. I peeked at your game again and wow you are blowing that person out of the water. 2 queens?? ftw!

What about Tina the Llama xD

^^^ So, that's where the donut holes go.

@ Dragon: I have a feeling this guy is going to completely crush me in round 2.

camberfoil

Think positively!

akafett

@ camber: I do think positively. I just don't allow myself to become overconfident.

Personally, I think he should resign.

dragonair234

akafett you're right he should resign!! He's pretty much cornered! dun dun dun

So, GM Nakamura is angry (he's saying it's "horrible") with this comedy skit by Jon Stewart from The Daily show: http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/oxku1b/chess-news-roundup

 

But here's my feeling on it. It's Comedy Central. These skits make fun of everything and that day it happened to be chess. I think it's very funny and heck, Stewart even makes a joke about himself at the end. I'm sad Namakura reacted in anger at this COMEDY skit... I think all chess players should relate to it with a good attitude. I think it makes Nakamura look bad that he can't take a few jokes about chess. 

akafett

^ Agreed.

Smile akafett I like youuuu

@ Dragon: You are too kind.

Ok, my opponent is obviously running his clock down, thus making me wait needlessly for my hard earned victory. That's ok. Round 2 is coming up and I hope I manage to # him out of no where - BAMMM!

Of coarse I say this with a most sportsman-like attitude.
