| Oct-24-09 | | NakoSonorense: Good game! Thanks for playing and the invite to your tournament. I hated your 12.e5. After that, I didn't think I was going to last much longer. I didn't want to take my knight back to g8, but I had no other option. However, I was very relieved when you played 16.exd6. That let me bring my knight out and then place it on d5, which was pretty good for me, I think. Anyway, I've got to admit that I did a lot better in this tournament than I expected. I finished with 10.5/16, but I was given away 2 points when <madbishop> forfeited on time on the very first move. Thanks everyone for playing and I hope to face you again later on. Just not you, <Open Defence> You're too good for me! =( |

 | | radu stancu: Good point about exd6. So I guess this time the problem was not the bishop, it was the pawn that went to the wrong file. Letting it on e5 would have made black's life much harder. |

| | radu stancu: <radus> - <keypusher> 1/2 It was a 78 moves battle in an <Alekhine's Defense, Modern (B05)>. I won a pawn and had an interesting attack but then I squandered my chances and then keypusher managed to even win my bishop, so I had to defend a rook+pawn vs rook+knight+pawn endgame, which thankfully I did. :) I look forward to analyzing the game. |

| | radu stancu: <weaponofchoice> - <radus> 1-0 An interesting King's Indian in which my all-in king-side attack was stopped by a white queen incursion. I wonder what would have happened had I not allowed the white queen to breach my defenses. |

| | Open Defence: <radu> you had me on the ropes there, my Q side push was too slow (how many times we 1.d4 players get sucked into that KID trap!) but then I think somewhere you made a slip and I had a valuable tempo to secure my second rank (defending g2) from when on my q side push became lethal.. well played! |
|

| | radu stancu: <Open Defence> Thanks, well played from your part too. :) I will definitely try this line again. I'm having a lot of fun with the King's Indian lately, although I'm having my share of losses with it. |

| | Open Defence: thanks, to have 100% wins in such a strong field is incredible, I think my 2 Knights game against Keypusher as Black was my best... |

| | radu stancu: Whoa... Just one loss? I need to correct this! (not by adding more losses, mind you, that *would* be very easy ;) ). |

| | radu stancu: I replied through a gameknot message. It's easier for me to follow than this forum, but if you'd rather have the conversation here, let me know. |
|
| Nov-28-12 | | kudubux: Hello!
Good game we're having in Gameknot but I think you let me off the hook back in the position where we still have our Queens. |
|

| | radu stancu: Hi there. It does indeed look like I might have missed something earlier. :) |
|
| Nov-30-12 | | kudubux: We can do postmortem on it here, yes? |
|
Dec-12-12
| | radu stancu: Sure, but it will have to wait a while. I'm crazy busy right now, so maybe during my vacation or afterwards. |

 | | moronovich: I didnīt learn chess from your dad,either ;)
But I can not say 100% sure I didnīt meet him ;).. |

| | Abdel Irada: <But I can not say 100% sure I didnīt meet him> That's a good point.
Let's say I consider it extremely improbable, but certainty is impossible given the present state of my information. |
