A Tough Draw On Chess.com Goodbye 2020

 A tough game that ended in a draw by repetition. The same position 3 times. On New Years Eve 2020.

Chess.com Jonas

 

I admit it took me four games to beat this computer persona. In my defense I was just blitzing the moves to make a quick game of it. Jonas is rated by Chess.com at 1700. More like 1500 I think. Still a tough opponent for me.

Rooks vs Rook & Bishop Endgame

Tuesday, April 14, 2020


Pulling Victory From The Jaws Of Defeat!

I've been on a bit of a losing streak lately. Being locked in the house. I've increased my activity on Chess.com. I've been playing a little reckless at times. In the following game I sacrificed a Bishop on move 19. Followed by a Knight on move 21. Actually the Knight was more of a trap than a sacrifice as I mated my opponent on the next move. I needed this win to make sure I finished in the top three of my first round group. To make it to round two.
