Yes I did.  Rd-e8

See, I did not make a mistake here.  But I did earlier.  If I had played differently instead of hurriedly, I could have already changed this game substantially in my favor.  But now I still have a fight ahead of me.

I think you just made another mistake,  I would have moved your rook to f6.

Anyway:

Nxf8

Perhaps.

Rxe1+

Kxe1

Kxf8

Yeah, I really screwed up a substantial advantage.  Oh well.  Now we're even.  Gotta figure this out.  I'm at work, so I don't know what my next move might be.

I think that was another bad move.  You should have instead captured with your bishop.

Bxh7

Perhaps.  Again it is my mistake for trying to move without looking at my board.  Quite honestly, I am disgusted with my play.  I really have not been paying much attention to the board when I had it in front of me, making hasty moves before having to run out the door and such.  It's frustrating that I turned what should have been a win into a possible loss.  We'll see if I even want to continue this game.

I offer a draw.  I don't see a way for me to win for me now, but I'm certain I can keep you from winning.  I should have won, but I played foolishly for the past five or so turns.

I'll accept a draw.

Well congrats, you pulled off a draw this time.  Wanna go for a victory?  Do you think you'll ever be interested in trying a variant?  I really want to give a variant a shot.  I really am short on chess partners in my town, expecially (sic) with my busy schedule.

I got incredibly lucky is what happened.

what variant did you have in mind?

I'm seriously quite open.  Any of the variants discussed in the chess variant thread are possibilities for me.  I'm actually probably most interested in Chess with Different Armies, but I'm up for anything.  Even games that aren't in my thread but are on chessvariants.org are on my list.  Let me know if something catches your fancy.

P.S. Probably my #2 pick would be Grand Chess, but if you're wanting something simpler, Self Eliminator is a possibility.  I can point you to some software that would allow you to play all of these games, if you are interested.

Bump.  With all my sacrifices I require compromise.  I need to make more chess moves to accommodate  so many non-chess games.  Gotta keep everyone happy.

Warbler, haven't heard from you for a while in this thread.

You haven't heard from anybody for a while in this thread.  Did you miss all of them as well? I WANT ANSWERS.

Soooooooo..........what you're saying is you really wanna play a game of chess with me........is that what you're saying?

Playing chess text only (any game for that matter) over a forum seems incredibly tedious.

Some people say getting to know my sister is tedious, but you still asked her out.

I don't recall this, but then again I can't exactly say where I was or what I was doing for the past six hours, so it could be.

 Did you just make the sister version of a mom joke?

I was referencing the fact that he asked her out, as evidenced by one of those other threads that I won't bother to link to.

 He did?  I guess I missed that.  Do you guys live in the same-ish area?  Can you link to the thread?  SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!

As the Death Star turns.

I don't usually continue a gag for more than a day. A part of me wonders if folks thought all these threads were genuine in intent.
