elenapetrova 24-Jul-14, 10:45	Thanks,Joanne,foe accepting me again in the club. I would compare you,in regards wisdom,to Solomon.
baddeeds 01-Aug-14, 09:44	Remember when I told you earlier about the first time giving up my Q against Jack to deliver. Well, as it turns out, I missed an immediate mate in one as archduke_piccolo noted. However, what happened here was not a planned Q sac. Instead, I blundered it away. And, it was against one of my students who I recently coached. What happened was that I started with an advantage after winning material and exploiting weaknesses. But, I overlooked that one capture leaves my Q hanging. By doing so, I blundered it away early, no in the end. However, I was not going to make it easy for him win, as he'd no longer take me seriously. So, instead I played my best, remembered, and applied things I saw in GM games, as well as, what wrecking_ball told me with his Q sacs. A lot of people wouldn't find it helpful, but I learned a lot, and applied it right in this game. By doing so, I was able to pull a swindle and turn a loss into a win. It's the first time in history, where I was able to do this, despite losing my Q early. That game is shown in the annotation below. gameknot.com

See the links below to see what most of us are up to now. That is playing team chess against some of our more skilled players. gameknot.com gameknot.com
baddeeds 27-Sep-14, 19:52	Why? Life is about overcoming obstacles. I've done the impossible before, like winning way down in material. @knightrider62: The idea is something that was mentioned in this club forum, recently. And, it's don't have the defeatistic attitude, unless necessary. But, instead, you think about how you can turn it around. Plus, talk about which, one time I had a master draw, and on a few occasions, a win against a Class A Player. You just have to think and concentrate, that's what it takes to do the impossible.
knightrider62 28-Sep-14, 14:00	Thank you elyahim Thanks for your welcome to the club. As there was no introduction thread I posted, this here.

baddeeds 19-Aug-15, 15:45	Here is another. But, this time, it was how he beat defeated an expert. gameknot.com
baddeeds 05-Oct-15, 14:26	Here is another. Mary is someone that Jack Stockel and I have both coached. The interesting story is that I coached her three times, so I've worked with her more then anyonelse. But, Jack who is by definition of the club a runner, due to being a former expert, has worked with her much, and I am not surprised because of how good he is. Well, on one occasion she defeated Jack when he was distracted. But, no matter what led to it, she beat a runner, and that's what counts.
baddeeds 25-Oct-15, 08:51	Remember how I mentioned about Mary against Jack. Well, last Friday, as noted in the WTW Discussion, Jack played against Perry. And, Perry won the first game against the runner due to an error from the coach.
baddeeds 23-Dec-15, 18:23	Another good example. Do you remember that other game that I annotated with redfoxrising against Joann. Well, Ron, recently, defeated a stronger player, whose rating is over 1900. game
baddeeds 06-Jan-16, 10:39	This continues. May not be a walker against runner, but one of my students was able to defeat me, after our 5th game. gameknot.com
baddeeds 15-Jul-16, 10:31	I just found out today, while overhearing a conversation that, a number of years ago (not sure when it was) Jack Stockel defeated a Grandmaster with a checkmate.
redfoxrising 23-Jul-16, 21:05	Game ended today with a win A win is nice to wake up to... Don't resign too early... game
baddeeds 19-Feb-17, 11:08	For the first time in a while, I defeated the runner, Jack Stockel. Of course, he was teaching me chess by allowing me the win, believe it or not. As I said that at one point, I was ready to resign. But, he was there to show me why you shouldn't til the end. I guess you can say that he was implying that one should follow the WTW rules in case one makes mistakes in the end. And, he showed me how I can do that. In the process, despite it being a lost game for me, I won. I intend to annotate the game, and I was white, so it went something like. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3, d6 3.d4, cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5 5.Nf3 Nf6 6.Bg5 Be7 7.Nc3 Nc6 8.Bb5 0-0 9.0-0 Bg4 10.Qd3 Bxf3 11.Qxf3 Qb6 12.Qd3 a6 13.Bc4 Na5 14.Na4 Qc7 15.b3 Rfe8 16.Be3 Nxc4 17.Qxc4 Qxc4 18.bxc4 Nxe4 19.Nb6 Rab8 20.Nd5 Rc8 21.Nb6 Rc6 22.Rad1 Nc5 23.Nd5 Bf8 24.Nb4 Rcc8 25.Rd5 Ne4 26.Ra5 Rxc4 27.Rb1 Nc3 28.Rb3 Nd1 29.Bb6 Re4 30.Nd3 Rc8 31.f3 Re2 32.Kf1 Rexc2 33.Ke1 Rxg2 34.Kxd1 Rxh2 35.Rb2 Rh1+ 36.Ne1 h5 37.Ke2 Rh2+ 38.Bf2 Rc7 39.Nd3 Be7 40.Nb4 Bh4 41.Nd3 Bxf2 42.Nxf2 h4 43.Rd5 Rd7 44.Ke3 Kf8 45.Rb6 Ke7 46.Ng4 Rc2 47.a4 Rdc7 48.f4 R2c3+ 49.Ke4 R7c4+ 50.Kf5 h3 51.fxe5 a5 52.exd6+ Kd7 53.Rxb7+ Kc6 54.d7 Rf3+ 55.Kg5 f6+ 56.Kg6 h2 57.d8=Q h1=Q 58.Kxg7 Kxb7 59.Rd7+ Kc6 60.Qc7#
baddeeds 22-Feb-17, 09:29	That's not even as accurate here. It took me several hours to figure this one out. That was frustrating, and believe it or not, this was the most frustrated that I have become since March which was during a unpeaceful club war that I could not stay neutral. I believe that this was the time where members lost. But, I turned this time into patience, and the reason I became frustrated is the position became corrupt. And, it took me hours to sort everything out. But, the good thing is that it happened today. So, except for the last move, I believe it was, this is how my win against Jack Stockel was played. And, it is more or less to what actually happened. It went like this. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 e5 5. Nf3 Nf6 6. Bg5 Be7 7. Nc3 Nc6 8. Bb5 O-O 9. O-O Bg4 10. Qd3 Bxf3 11. Qxf3 Qb6 12. Qd3 a6 13. Bc4 Na5 14. Na4 Qc7 15. b3 Rfe8 16. Be3 Nxc4 17. Qxc4 Qxc4 18. bxc4 Nxe4 19. Nb6 Rad8 20. Nd5 Rc8 21. Nb6 Rc6 22. Rad1 Nc5 23. Nd5 Bf8 24. Nb4 Rcc8 25. Rd5 Ne4 26. Ra5 Rxc4 27. Rb1 Nc3 28. Rb3 Nd1 29. Bb6 Re4 30. Nd3 Rc8 31. f3 Re2 32. Kf1 Rexc2 33. Ke1 Rxg2 34. Kxd1 Rxh2 35. Rb2 Rh1+ 36. Ne1 h5 37. Ke2 Rh2+ 38. Bf2 Rc7 39. Nd3 Be7 40. Nb4 Bh4 41. Nd3 Bxf2 42. Nxf2 h4 43. Rd5 Rd7 44.

Rd7+ Kc6 60. Qc7#
baddeeds 22-Feb-17, 09:48	This, however, is more accurate. And, besides one or two moves, this is exactly how it was played. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 e5 5. Nf3 Nf6 6. Bg5 Be7 7. Nc3 Nc6 8. Bb5 O-O 9. O-O Bg4 10. Qd3 Bxf3 11. Qxf3 Qb6 12. Qd3 a6 13. Bc4 Na5 14. Na4 Qc7 15. b3 Rfe8 16. Be3 Nxc4 17. Qxc4 Qxc4 18. bxc4 Nxe4 19. Nb6 Rad8 20. Nd5 Rc8 21. Nb6 Rc6 22. Rad1 Nc5 23. Nd5 Bf8 24. Nb4 Rcc8 25. Rd5 Ne4 26. Ra5 Rxc4 27. Rb1 Nc3 28. Rb3 Nd1 29. Bb6 Re4 30. Nd3 Rc8 31. f3 Re2 32. Kf1 Rexc2 33. Ke1 Rxg2 34. Kxd1 Rxh2 35. Rb2 Rh1+ 36. Ne1 h5 37. Ke2 Rh2+ 38. Bf2 Rc7 39. Nd3 Be7 40. Nb4 Bh4 41. Nd3 Bxf2 42. Nxf2 h4 43. Rd5 Rd7 44. Ke3 Kf8 45. Rb6 Ke7 46. a4 a5 47. Ng4 Rc2 48. f4 Rdc7 49. fxe5 R2c3+ 50. Ke4 R7c4+ 51. Kf5 h3 52. exd6+ Kd7 53. Rxb7+ Kc6 54. d7 Rf3+ 55. Kg5 f6+ 56. Kh5 h2 57. d8=Q h1=Q+ 58. Kg6 Kxb7 59. Rd7+ Kc6 60. Qc7#
baddeeds 22-Feb-17, 17:34	That game has been annotated. So, the only difference between this and what I provided is that f4 was played before Ng4. But, otherwise, it's exactly the same, and what I annotated is exactly how this game was played. gameknot.com
baddeeds 22-Aug-18, 07:50	I really enjoyed this game, where a much lower player defeats a much higher rated player. gameknot.com
joveyboy1 15-Oct-18, 16:02	Chekmate in Under 3 Full Moves I hope what I'm talking about it appropriate here: I just finished a game by checkmate, and it wasn't even in three full moves by both sides, which thus Gameknot considered it 'Short', and the rating was unchanged. game I had no idea this was possible, but I see that it can be done. Has anyone else done this?
redfoxrising 15-Oct-18, 18:20	f7 weakness seen it in blitz nice to win a game like that!
joveyboy1 16-Oct-18, 10:28	I'm surprised in my 5 years on Gameknot that I never knew of it until now. It was a pleasant surprise when I saw it
baddeeds 16-Oct-18, 11:29	The only reason I knew is because of the blitz Q sac lectures with TA, deeper_insight.
5imon 16-Oct-18, 11:34	The fastest mate Is the same idea but black can do it on move 2. 1. f3 e6 2. g4 Qh4#
