Thanks Talal, yes move 20 wasn't your best leaving a choice of knight or bishop for a pawn. But the game was getting a tad complicated so a blunder was looming (believe me you don't have a monopoly on blunders :-()
I've enjoyed our games and make us dead level after 6 - 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats each. Until next time!
Question: you're playing a game that you can't win. You're opponent isn't that much better off but has the pieces to potentially force a check mate.
Do you resign or do you continue playing and force your opponent to achieve check mate?
What is the chess etiquette?
Most people will resign but if a checkmate is coming very soon there's not a lot wrong with letting it play out if that's what you want to do. It's those buggers that offer draws when they're well behind that need to take a look at themselves
Folks - I'm going to have to duck out. I timed out against Martin earlier because I didn't have time to play my move - indicative if the fact it just isn't possible for me to play as I don't have the time. Sorry - fwiw I did enjoy it, maybe when I retire I'll have the hours in the day necessary to play again

Rubbish Leroy, I had you on the ropes admit it, damn you!;)
Can I take that move back @Johnnysummers5 God knows what I did that for, clearly a senior moment:(
It was a shame, as you have given me a very good game, I think you are a stronger player than your rating
Thanks for saying that @Johnnysummers5. As I said to Talal, shame I can't accidentally knock the board over.
Despite the analysis button, still seem to have these blind moments. Just made a right gaff in my game with, real_idle_hans. Maybe that's just the intensity of playing so many games at once?
I'm enjoying the games though and as you said, ours was a goodun, cheers.

Not at all, it seems.
The only trouble with online chess is, you can't accidentally knock the board over.
I'll bite yer legs off in the next game.

And QBCQBC, sorry I didn't offer you much of a game, you are a fair bit better than me unfortunately
