I've been away from chess for awhile, this game makes me want to invest more time in the game though, hope you guys enjoy it, I sure as hell did. First bishop/queen sac I've ever played.... intentionally...

Feels good to pull off a nice tactic, doesn't it?
Black should not have taken your bishop but he was lost anyway after blundering a piece.

Erm, 31st December hasn't arrived yet, especially not in America?

Also, your rating for this game is 1016, but your Rapid rating is over 1500. What was the time control here?

Post a loss.

Sure, here's me making a basic mistake because my head wasn't in the game. I quit early to take a breather and get back to it.

I live in china. Also, rapid has never been an issue for me, I can make deep calculations when I feel there's enough time. Time control was 10|0

Yes, yes it does, especially since it's not something I'm use to seeing. I toyed with the idea of it for a couple moves, but wasn't sure about it until I actually made the move.

That's interesting then, as until now I believed the site automatically provided you with a national flag based on your IP address...so yours should be a China flag?

You can change it manually in settings.

Not if he first opened his acc in the US. In any case it's easy enough to change your flag should you wish to do so.
