Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

I’ve been victim to that type of attack a couple of time recently...

I have a beetroot smoothie recipe which is guaranteed to get things moving again if you have a blocked bishop.

That’ll work a treat quimby. I put a spoonful of chocolate chicory root in mine too.

I think you were very unlucky to lose your queen GM, which is what gave me the advantage. Post-game analysis has it as a sudden win, so not sure that really counts as wiping the board! 😂

lol I felt like I was on the defence after Queenie abdicated and that you were very much in command. I didn't see you make any errors - you played well :)

Thanks GM. I like your description of your queen ‘abdicating’, think I’ll be using that next time I throw mine away 😆

There’s a nice series on YouTube called “Building Habits” in which a GM (not you Medals) does a rating climb playing short games based on sound chess principles for certain ranges.
This one is rating 700-800:
