I think this is a trade in my favor, personally.  But surprisingly, you don't seem too disappointed.

Kxd8

I know it's in your favour and I'm not happy that I let myself get stuck like that. I just didn't bother whining about it and decided to suffer in silence.

Well, I want to gloat about it, and it's hard to do so if you're not whining enough. ;)

Of course I'm just teasing.  I just honestly enjoy the back and forth commentary, and I was surprised there was none there.  Not trying to rub it in.

C-a1

Yeah, I know, I guess I usually comment on my mistakes. Here:

Aw, darn! Why didn't I see that coming!?

There you go--now you can gloat. ;)

AHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA!  Sucker!!!

Just kidding.  F-d4  Thanks for being a good sport :)

Oh, you're going to chase my bede around again, are you? Well, you can't have it.

B-b7

Well, I want it.  CK-c5

It's going to be harder to get out of this than I thought.

B-c8

Well, it might be harder to break through than I thought.  Keep your courage, my friend.

C-a8

Ya sure? If you'd forgotten the bede could move like that, I'll let you take that back.

Bxa8

Yeah, I did forget.  I appreciate you letting me take it back.  I was treating it like a bishop.  Sorry.  I won't take back another stupid mistake.

Well, I'm off to bed, so you'd better move right away if you want my reply before tomorrow evening...

F-e2

10 seconds later and you would have missed me.

W-c6

Have a good night my friend.  CK-b7+

Oops, this isn't going very well.

Bxb7

You granted me a move take back.  I'm happy to do the same if you wish.

Cxb7

Thanks, but it's my fault I got into this mess.

I was hoping you would do anything besides that. Oh, well.
