maybe an arfcom chess group would be cool. You can play chess online if you have yahoo instant messenger.

Really? I felt like I had a serious lack of development into the center.

An AR15 chess club would definately be a good thing.

Your development is a bit incohearent and you definitley play the offensive, but your play with your knights is VERY solid. It threw me for a loop early in my middle game when I was trying to get control over your kingside, and forced me to develop my queen too early.
The tempo is yours right now.

But i'll try to get it back [:p]

Haven't played since the '70s, but still have my board in the same cabinet it was in back then.[:D]  Maybe I'll drag it out some day soon.

What would you suggest for me to get better?

Practice.
Only thing. Chess is one of those rare games where your skill level is predetermined at birth.
No matter how much one practices, he will never be as good as Kasparov or Fischer. They were born with special gifts for spatial reasons, and that can't be learned.
Of course, tricky play [b]CAN[/b] be aquired through practice and play. That's enough to make you better than most everyone else. Beyond that's, your level of play is determined by the skill you were born with.

Did you mean D2-F2? I don't have any thing on the E2 Square. Both of your rooks attacked from E1.

That should have read
E2xE8#

I made a bad mistake and misread your last move. I thought you moved the queen to F2. And I expected a kingside attack with your queen and knight. That's why I attacked your knight to try to stop it.

Good game. I need to go back to the woodshed.

Hmm.. I see how that could have happened with the miscom the prior move.

We'll call this game a draw, given the circumstances. It isn't really a legit win or a legit loss.

Next time though [:D]

Hey don't take anything away from yourself. That was a win fair and square. I should have been watching for the attack there anyway. Hell I was just proud of myself for stopping your rook attck without haveing to pull my queen back. I guess I should have. :) Good game.
