My chances are quickly collapsing.
Hate to say it, but I’m obviously going to lose this game, and I’m also losing interest in this site. Sorry to do this a bit prematurely, but I resign.
I deeply regret how this game has ended. But it is my duty to declare Puggo - Jar Jar’s Yoda the OT.com Chess Champion.
I was about to play Qg3.
It’s true that your attacking chances appear to have dissipated, and you’re just left with the piece deficit. You’ve also lost the d-file and your development advantage.
There were some very interesting tactics that almost happened. I wrote down some notes as we were playing, which I can post tomorrow. Right now I have to run to teach class.
I hope that you will consider playing me another game, this time with you as white. You got off to a rough start very early with 3…nxe4, and did a fantastic job of making a good game of it after that. I’d like to see how it would go with you moving first. I never felt fully in control until just a couple of moves ago.

I don’t know if he will be returning. I do hope he does return though.
Warb, I know you’re disappointed with how the game went, but FWIW I worked pretty hard - it was a well-fought game with some tense twists and turns. My only regret was that we didn’t flip for color, because it wasn’t exactly fair that I grabbed the white pieces. I had assumed that we’d be playing a second game if I won.

It is not the game I am disappointed in. I am disappointed that Darth Ender has left the forum and may never return.
My comments about telling Darth Ender to try harder and whatnot were in jest.
Maybe you are right and I need to make championship matchups more than one game.
If there is any interest I could organise a private tournament for originaltrilogy.com members only on lichess.org.

Darth and I played a second game in a private group. Warb served as referee and did a superb job of keeping us in line. This time Darth was white, and the game went as follows:

It seems confusing to me why anyone would have to play a chess game in a private thread. But whatever. congratulations on the good game guys!

The same reason chess isn’t on tv.
I think.

Good point I hadn’t considered that. Hahaha
I shouldn’t speak for Darth, but I think that after some recent discussions he just wanted to take a break from the public boards. Plus the crowds were becoming too unruly.

To be clear, I’m not 100% sure chess isn’t on tv. I’ve just never seen it on tv.
What we need to do is start a ot.com curling thread and see how that goes.

You’re in the wrong thread. You know where to go for approval. I can’t make any promises, but I think it’s a shoo-in.
