Calling it now..if the next game goes e4 e5, Nepo will go with the King’s Gambit.
@MayanActuary and I agreed to a draw in our 2nd game. Far from our normal crazy games, this one was both boring and mistake filled. Very gross 
Now that I look at this, I wonder if a lot of people see Bc6 and stop there.
Yeah, I might have seen Bc6 and looked no further. Due to your comment, saw actual solution, but don’t always have the discipline to look for something better after seeing something good.
My biggest errors are when I feel the opposing king is weak and can be attacked, but there’s a very basic tactic to win a piece, ha
Finally crossed 1,300 on Daily mode! It seems like I’ve been in the 1,200s forever lol, although I wouldn’t be surprised if I go back down once I lose to AA.
Note to self: Don’t play the French Defense, Advance, Paulsen, Milner-Barry Gambit against higher-rated players, lol.

First thing I saw was the hanging knight. In a puzzle scenario, guessing a lot of people just go Bxe5 without much afterthought.
In my current non-tourney game against @J0EBL0W, I was proud to have pre-moved (set a conditional move) an en-passant capture lol
This did take me off guard. I wasn’t expecting to see the pre-move coming at me.
I made at least 3 moves in our 2nd game simply because I didn’t think they’d be ones you’d premove against. I was still wrong on 1 of them. 
Can someone tell me if this is still the middle game or is this considered the end game, and why? This game is still going on so don’t say anything that can help either of us.
I’d say endgame since no queens nor rooks.

WOOT! Looks like I’m going to come in second place in the D pool. I’m actually pretty proud of how I played. My win against JustChillJoe feels fantastic!

I may not know how to define endgame, but I know it when I see it.
My chess game between me (white) and @AbstractActuary just finished, and I’ve never been prouder/worked so hard for a draw lol. I was down by as much as 3 pawns in the endgame and previous me would’ve given in, so I’m happy I was able to recover and claim a draw.
Interesting game. Depressing to watch the analysis and all the wins we both missed.

Hmm 5 draws in 6 games thus far for me. Can’t explain that
Lost my first 5 and won my last 3. Last game had 0 mistakes. I’m thinking it has more to do with taking my time more with fewer active games. More difficult than I thought it would be to find time to just sit and think about moves. Too many interests already!
