BIG CHESS GAMES TOMORROW TO GET TO THE SEMIFINALS

I'm probably going to lose lol but it's worth a shot. I just need to know how to find him on there when I have a fresh mind to learn how to navigate the website.

Tomorrow evening JoeMoma and I are playing at 8:00 EST.

Unfortunately I don't have cable, only streaming so looks like I'm going to have to miss myself.

Here’s the step by step
1. Open app
2. Hit “Play”
3. Wait for an invite or invite Joe Mama at “MrBlunder1965”
4. You guys are buddies on chess.com
5. One of you sends an invite to the other via the box next to the name
6. You or JoeMoma can set the parameters at the top, set “15/10” (or just accept the other persons invite)
7. Play

Again I'll look at all of this tomorrow as my brain is not functioning right now and I'm about to go to bed. Even with simple stuff this is all I'm getting.

Wait, is this an app as I thought that it was a website.

 

[JoeMoma]

It's a website that can also be accessed through the chess.com app.....so it's both.

Ah okay well maybe we should go ahead and start working on this a bit earlier so we're not late to the game. Sort of busy at the moment though but say around ten till eight or something?

That should work..... call it eight-ish.

Yeah thanks and please go slow with me as I'm not really all that tech savvy. You guys got to see the thread that I posted roasting my haters on here on an open fire though.

It’s both. If you go on the website it’ll be slightly different

I lost

 

[XponentialChaos]

X defeats TNHarley!

The game started with some tension in the center. When it opened up, X kamikazed his queen into the opposing queen. Very early on, the queens are off the board and X picks up a pawn in the exchange.

After that, X goes on the attack for a king/rook fork. TN defends it, but after some maneuvering around, it eventually pushes through.

With a significant material advantage, X is only concerned with blundering the game away. TN fights back with a very nasty discovery attack on deck. X defends, castles, and focuses on not getting back-ranked.

After that, X attempts to trade out all the pieces to simplify the game, chipping away at some pawns in the process. TN tries to avoid exchanging but is ultimately forced to and ultimately resigns.

My opponent played very well, particularly on defense. Good game, sir.
