Although the computer will now be forever bragging about how it pulled out a draw in that game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He then moved his king in front of my bishop. I then moved one of my pawns mistakenly thinking he would only be able to move into check and therefore not be able to move thereby making it checkmate. Mookz pointed out the flaw in that strategy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill E. 666 Posted December 6, 2021 I have not played in years and thought I was ok. I played two games. I was actually close winning the first one but time ran out on me so I lost. the second game the guy tore through me. He had every move blocked from the beginning and I never had a chance. I felt like Rittenhouse without a gun. You guys will make short work of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
