Hope you post this game as it would be good to analyze. I had a reasonable chance of a draw against Ernie a few months ago and then hung a Knight so I know how it feels. Ernie made me feel much better when he said " I dont know why you did that, you had plenty of time". Anyway at least you had an expertchessboozerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869663392829895659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716553.post-3096192713016537142007-11-10T10:49:00.000-08:002007-11-10T10:49:00.000-08:00I don't remember where I heard this--maybe someone...I don't remember where I heard this--maybe someone else remembers so they can give proper credit--but the only reason we use positional factors, opening books, etc. is that we can't calculate far enough ahead.

Then when he castled it smelled like King's Gambit Muzio variation.<BR/><BR/>I was looking over the game with Gafni and Soltani and it looked very difficult but you were "much better"!!<BR/><BR/>I hear you on the "moral victory" stuff...it doesn't make you feel any better.
