nice going. nice how the rooks weaved round.
Salvaged a poor game with this Mate
Great Fight and way to not give up. If he got you into that position he must have played a good game. Sorta feel bad for him as he just fell apart.

Thanks. It was a combo of good plays on his end and really poor ones on mine. I attribute my shotty moves to the lack of a solid opening. It underscores how a bad opening can effect the entire game, especially when playing as black. I had no good defensive base to attack from.
Hello all, first post on the forums. Great site.
This was a game I was playing recently as black. I definitely wasn't on my best game with this one and felt like I was playing defense the whole time (mainly because I didn't get a good opening started). The opponent was fairly aggressive, and I was eventually relying on that turning against him, which it did. Here's the mate I pulled out of it.
(edit; first move, 30... Rhh6, meant to say King-side rook, not Queen-side)
