Chess Time by Rainbowninja

[Onizuka]

I've PM'd him, no response since~

And 1world....lol you can't find him anywhere really.
LurkerKnight is more active.

[DesertKnight]

*waves hello* *bows politely*

DesertKnight reporting in!

I sent a PM to 1world24 on 16th of August (Tuesday), informing him that I will be away for a major interview the same week (Thursday).
I requested that we finish this as soon as Friday (19th of August) , or the weekend. There has been no PM back since.

I will send another PM (right now) to see if we can't do something at least today/tomorrow/monday.

I cannot be in chat/forums again on Wednesday and Thursday (August 24 and August 25) as readily as I would like.
There is a second stage of the first series of interviews that will be require me to leave.

I deeply apologize for the inconvenience Rainbowninja and if ruling favors me to forfeit due to time constraints please do so.

PS: For those interested I will make a forum thread specifically on the interview process but for now I need to continue focus my efforts.
This thread isn't really the best place to explain that situation.

Have fun! (it's best to PM me back if you have any questions)

I'm inclined to give DesertKnight and Onizuka the wins here. Rainbowninja hasn't posted in a while, so if no other evidence appears or he makes a decision, I'll award wins to both players mentioned.

[Rainbowninja]

Sorry bout not posting, i agree with your decision Legit, and the time has come!

[DesertKnight]

A regal last battle!

A worthy opponent Revoltion, I hope to battle you again sometime!

Thank you Rainbowninja for organizing and hosting this event!

Final Battle : DesertKnight 1 - 0 Onizuka (Revoltion)

[Event "DesertKnight vs Oni"]
[Site "multiplayerchess.com"]
[Date "2011.08.26"]
[Round "1"]
[White "DesertKnight"]
[Black "Oni"]
[Result "1-0"]

1. f4 e6 <-- Again that pawn opening : Kings pawn gambit , Oni said "oppsie" in chat.. wasn't a bad move I thought.. still very playable...
2. d4 Be7
3. Nf3 Nf6
4. Nc3 b6
5. e4 Bb7 <--- Oni goes pure defensive on me, I switch tactics a bit...
6. e5 Ne4 <-- e5 isn't something I"d normally go for, but it's a slight "aggressive push" (another gamble)
7. Nxe4 Bxe4
8. Bd3 Bxd3
9. Qxd3 O-O <--- just what I wanted heavy intense trading! 
10. Be3 c5 <--- brilliant move, I was so focused on the "king side" (oni's) I got taken a few steps back when he attacked my queen side.
11. dxc5 bxc5
12. O-O-O d5
13. f5 f6 <-- at this point it becomes debatable (depending on your style) if these pawn pushes were worth while for Oni
14. fxe6 d4
15. Bf4 fxe5
16. Bxe5 Bf6
17. Qe4 Bxe5
18. Nxe5 Rf6
19. Qxa8 Rxe6 <--- ouch, a bit pre-emtive, that rook goes down and it turns from an even battle of pawn strategies to a "numbers game"
20. Rhe1 a6
21. c3 d3
 22. Rxd3 Qf8
23. Qd5 Qf4+ <-- once the queen was on center, pinning that rook made it feel like one less piece was on Oni's side in an already compromised situation...
24. Kb1 Qf8
25. Qxe6+ Kh8
26. Rd8 Qxd8
27. Nf7+ Kg8 <-- was aiming for a "knight's mate" XD silly me, forgot king can move still .. so took it for what it's worth.
28. Nxd8+ Kf8
29. Qf7# 0-1

[Onizuka]

Not taking anything from Desert's win, but I'd really like to say I think all my moves were mistakes since my opening was a mistake.

Congrats DK, hopefully you have developed an interest in chess, as this was quite a good experience for me too. Thanks to all the players and of course Legit,  for facilitating it!
