I have so many aliases I decided to stick with SuburbanPokerMan. I haven't figured out yet how to talk to the other players. Plus I don't know how they see my post for a game. I just sign on and wait for someone to choose me. Also I'm not use to timed chess. I got a thousand questions but I guess I'll figure it out in time. Thanks for showing the way to the web site, I love chess. I'm thinking of giving up poker.


SPM,...the gals are dead so, next move please...

Did you become a registered player SPM? I don't see any player in the logs named SuburbanPokerMan

Suburban made a coupld of poor choices...I think Ottosen is better now......some guys don't have good end game judgment......To be fair...the previous position before Rc7 was only very slightly better for white

I not only don't have and end game, my beginning game is pretty bad also. Could you please tell me something I don't know.


SPM,...humiliated depressed but enjoying it...

I registered as SuburbanPokerMan, they e-mailed me a decoder number or whatever they call it. It took me three trys to get it right. I kept putting spaces between the words and I think that was a foul or something. Where do you look to find a players handle. Your move, and I hear you got the best position. So don't make any mistakes.


SPM,...play long and prosper...

White is winning

20. f4?

(20.Ra6 bxa6 21.Rb1! with b5 to follow was +/- (For instance 21....Rb7 22. b5 axb5 23. a6...followed by a7 and mopping up as the black rook is stuck gaurding a8...22.....Bc3 is no good 23.bxa6 rxb1 24.a7)21..Rc2 22. b5 axb5 23. Rxb5 Ra2 24. Rb8 Kh7 25. Ra8 with a6 and a7 coming followed by Rc8 and a8....)21... Rc8 22. b5 axb5 23. a6 with a7 and Rxb pawn to follow.....


correct me if I'm wrong
