Game of Kings

[Pink Underoo]

You let me draw you into a stalemate in the center (check the end of page 3 and after), then let your queen's guard (rook, knight, lots of pawns) just sit for too long doing nothing. After the queens were captured (thx uno :B) and I lost my queen's knight to ineptitude, my entire left flank buckled. That was your chance.

The pivotal move was castling on your king's side in that situation. With my left flank down, my only option was to make a bold charge up the right flank and that's exactly where you put your most valuable piece. I played a lot of gambits to clinch the stalemate at the center, so I don't know how the game would have played if other choices had been made by either of us, but the end result was that I was allowed to pierce straight into your king's pawn wall with a hero pawn of my own, and that pawn kept the king trapped for the rest of the game. You had to play a lot of defense for that mistake, and it eventually cost you the game.

Then, because your queen's side was relatively inactive, my queen's rook went super saiyan and clinched your queen's rook, knight and pawns in one fell swoop, while simultaneously keeping your bishops from moving around my left flank. That was pretty epic.

All that bought me enough time to turn the whole game around.
