My problem was that I was in a rush and didn't bother looking at everything like I normally do. I completely overlooked the bishop at c4. I figured that I would have taken the queen with my king, making a queen move there bad one, but I didn't notice the bishop there. That's what I get for playing in a rush and not looking carefully. Just careless... I doubt I'll get over this one. Nice game anyways!

We have a lot of time before the others finish their games. If you want, we could play another game while we wait for the others to finish. Of course, the game we just finished would be the one that counts as the tournament result.

Urg... Still can't believe I missed that... Good playing, HSM!

[happystickman]

Yeah, I always use that. It onlys works once though, and you need to be white. Then everyone gets it. Dont tell anyone! I hope no one looks at this thread. Bah, oh well.I dot really xcare, if you want to play again.

It's actually a pretty easy to use if your opponent isn't paying attention... I've seen it a couple places before, when I was studying strategy.
