Why play "Rook Captures Rook" either when you have mate in 3 instead??

 

31.Rg7+! Kh8 32.Rxh7+ Kg8 33.Qg7#

31.Rg7+ doesn't work queen will capture the rook

I'll share this one.  If I had won I would have tied for first in the Booster section,

My unlucky 13th move should have been Qxf2+.  But since white was dead in that line, I didn't look for any moves other than defensive ones, so I went for the attack, and cost myself a share of 1st place.

I have made a move inversion during a tactic before. It was the difference between winning and losing. Even the spectators said that I got unlucky.

All I can say is that I've dropped my Queen so many times she walks with a limp.meh.png

Yes, I've made a bad move a couple of times and as a result, my county team has lost. But I think more often the team has won a match as a result of my managing to play a good move, so no regrets.

Yeah, losses like that you don't forget.  Here's another sad tale of an almost good game......

The culprit this time is 20.Bf4.  The proper follow-up is 20.Re1 and if Nf6 then 21.Nxg7, Kxg7; 22.Rxe7 with a great game.  I almost played well this time.
