Chess Match #4 + #5 vs Jswisher87 (1166) - (1248) Double Header
Two games of chess today. First one went really quick, second one took a little bit longer because its kind of ugly.
Dude clearly wasn't very good. I'm not TRYING to play noobs, but so far thats all I've seemed to find. I suppose on one hand I'd like to continue to "warm up" on bad players, kinda like how a Baseball player recovering from injury starts in Triple-A before going back to the Major League roster.
Just full of baseball references in this video eh?
Second game did have one flashy part however. I had a couple directions of attack for some lethal damage, and I was able to plot/predict his moves to maximize my effectiveness and it worked out great. After that I proceeded to turn into a sloth or something, but you know me, I like my defense and prefer to squeeze an advantage out over time to mercilessly choke somebody out of a chance.
I know its just little pieces and all, but chess WAS originally a game for generals, and had very high correlations to war. Winning team played soccer with opposing defeated kings head between city gates too. Dark ages were brutal.
