click for larger viewA game of mine; I think the result is justified, although my opponent did not want a draw, and simply miscounted. However, the final position is a draw, assuming worst play from both sides. |

Whatever the particular recipe, I believe it was concocted to survive the long boat rides from England to it's colony, India and if that's true, then I guess that IPA owes it's existence to TEA. |

| Mar-03-07 | | AugustAle: <WannaBe: Who can tell me ...... without looking it up!!> Are you kidding?? I have to google myown name sometimes. Look>> the cg spellchecker says google is misspelled. Says to look up the spelling of spellchecker too. Currently im trying to look up why i'm sitting at a computer playing a chess game in which computers are not allowed?? I need to look up how many homebrewed pilsners i had yesterday.http://www.northamericanbrewers.org... |

|
| Mar-22-07 | | schnarre: <Kibitz number 5000! Cheers!> Let us pray...
Our lager,
Which art in barrels
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
At home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillage,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not into incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, the bitter, and the lager.
Barmen.
...Cheers all!

Qe8 to support ... e5 and maybe access the Kingside via g6 or h5 later. Note the in-between move 11 ... exf3 wins two piece for a Rook, but the game was even after 11 ... Kxg7 instead. After 14. b3 you really need to get your QN into the game (14 ... Nbd7 or 14 ... Na6) instead of moving your KR to e8, and after 16. cxd5 consider 16 ... Nxd5 or 16 ... Bxd5 so your Be6 doesn't become a giant Pawn. 17 ... Qa5?! should have lost a Pawn to the Discovery 18. Nxe4!? which defends the Qd2; this is also a common tactic for Knights to swipe a center Pawn when a Bishop is pinning them. After the trades, 24. f3? was a major error by White, losing material to 24 ... exf3 25. Bxf3 f4 (25 .. g4 26. Nf4 hits the Be6) 26. Nf2 fxe3. |

| Mar-27-07 | | bumpmobile: <tpstar> Thanks. Someone actually pointed out 18. Nxe4 and we both whacked our forheads in dismay that we missed it. To corect you though, I did well in my first game, the rest of the tournament was near disastrous. In Round 5 I lost to the Grob in 18 moves :-) |
