I was able to push my pawn to the point where white could not stop my promotion. I celebrated with some s'mores! #chess #food

As soon as I move my bishop, my opponent has to be a baby and offer a draw then ask for a take back. After I decline both, he/she rage quits. The previous game, I lost badly to this person and he/she wanted a rematch and this game was the rematch. Why only play against people you can beat? How will you improve? After the game, I enjoyed a steamed pork and vegetable bun! #chess #food

Normally, when I am losing I just resign because why bother continuing. This time, I decided to just throw the game away and gave white all my remaining pieces. White could not figure out how to checkmate me before the timer ran out. It usually says I win because of time I guess they changed it. I celebrated with cream of mushroom soup! #chess #food

I had no clue what to do next. White was low on time and at this point had 30 seconds left on the clock. I still had 2 minutes and 20 seconds. Fortunately, white had no idea what to do either. I celebrated my win with strawberry mousse! #chess #food

Talk about karma since my last chess post was about my opponent not seeing things. I did not see the free bishop. I did not rush either just assumed the queen was still defending it. I cheered myself up with a bowl of oatmeal! #chess #food #oatmeal

After a series of rapid trades, black did not notice my queen was pointed right at black's rook. Black took my knight and I got a free rook. Black did what I used to be guilty of, which I call the Video Game Mode. It is not a real term but I use that term when I kept thinking this was a video game that required an immediate response. I would forget that this game can be slowed down and I was allowed to think over my options. My knight had no safe squares if black moved the rook. I would have to grab the B pawn so I could get something for my knight. I celebrated with snickerdoodle cookies! #chess #food #cookies

I thought I would post a game where I got demolished. White was aggressive from the start and I got defensive. White's pieces were all developed and attacking while mine were bunched up and passive. I lost in 3 more turns after this picture. I need to learn how to deal with very aggressive players. After the game, I went to the bakery and purchased a lemon meringue. #food #chess #lemon

I could not resist giving my opponent (white) a nice block of pawns. He/she lost the game mainly because he/she gave away the dark square bishop for free and a rook for my light square bishop. White did manage to clear the C file of pawns but the 2 pawns on the B file remained. I celebrated my win with strawberry ice cream! #food #delicious #chess #icecream

I had the game won and got overconfident and ended up with a stalemate over checkmate. The worst part about it was, as you can see on the left, my opponent had to be a baby and ask for a draw when I was winning. I cheered myself up with a dark chocolate bar! #food #chess #chocolate

People are posting pictures of the games they play. I did not want to feel left out. I was the white pieces and had no clue what to do for my next move. I did end up winning because my opponent ran out of time. I did celebrate my win with a slice of fruitcake! #chess #food #fruit #cake
