I must admit I expected another move instead of Re3.

A glimmer of hope?

Fun with animated .gifs

I got some free web space.There are quite a few of these.Most require no knowledge at all which is perfect for me.Then its just a matter of copy and and paste the url of the .gif and use the img tag.

Quick after all!

Didn't have much choice this time.

Carolus

[Smash]

hmmmm...I mistakenly put your f4 rook on f5.Been looking at the WRONG position for last couple moves.Dam it.My own darn fault.Oh well,onward

[Carolus Rex]

Hm...

Does this mean the psychological advantage has switched side?

Carolus

[Smash]

Well it may be the break you needed to bring the draw back.Who says there is no luck in chess...wait a sec...I shouldn't call my carelessness luck.
