Hi Hitman, Your really looking for a blunder by Dave to win this one sorry. I havn't really followed the game but I will run a quick analysis over it soon. A draw would all depend on the strength of Daves play. He should win comfortably from here if he knows how.
Like I said, I will do a Quick analysis of the game and give you an idea of your strength.

Yeh, you ain't to bad Hitman. You link your pieces up well, it's obvious you can see a couple of moves ahead. You should develop your pieces as quickly as possible and get castling ASAP instead on flank pawn moves like B4, like Dave mentioned giving up the centre fight. But you look somewhere around 1100 if you ask me. Good Stuff

Well it seems you have a natural, you should certainly play more, all the ideas are there. It might sound bizzare but it was actually chess that got me into poker. Alot of pro players also play chess to a really strong level.
Yep, this is definitely the endgame. Competitive still, but I'd be disappointed to lose this one from here. I'd price it something like: 2/5 Sky Dave, 2/1 Draw, 10/1 HitmanRV.
Right, I'm going full gusto now; Rd1+
Over to you, Hitman. And I'll add the lad with the SCA rating to the list too - might even try get a couple of games going next time out

Did you win anything on the horses, Hitman? Oh, and nomnomnomnom.... Rxa2. Posted by Sky_Dave
Nahhh, done rabbish, won bit back on Georgey Groves tho, what a fight!!!
Also won the £750 midnight tourney when I got in very drunk, showing off to mi sons mates, while we watched the Boxing , how good at poker I am...NOT lol
fact is they are all round again now, while i am showin off bout Chess !! ps ur Name is SkyDave Knickthepottov, Russian chessmaster so dont let me down, Wink Wink!!
Rite mi move....oppps forgot...... o yeah Hitcastle g5, not bothered with the wasted check !!
Sorry to hear the horses blew out. Mind you, you were spot on about the boxing - great fight. I actually had a double with the Polish lad versus Cleverley too (a cheeky 43/1 punt), and I have to say while Cleverley was controlling the fight the other guy had a puncher's chance and was connecting a few times! The stoppage was far too premature!
Groves fight was a corker though - totally outsmarted DeGale.
Right, talking of stoppages and outsmarting people, time for me to finish this one off Hitman Been a good game too, but I think I am almost home and hosed now. Have a pawn to b5 to think about.
Knew Groves was in front, but to be fair Degale came back well last few rounds!! Could easy have been draw or reverse!! ok then, tryin to work out if I even have a sluggers chance here....mmm....been in worse positions! Rook 5h, can i tilt ya by using the right lingo now !!! lol Posted by HITMAN_RV
Yup, DeGale did come back into it. Thought it would have been harsh on Groves to have lost, but a draw wouldn't have been too farcical.
Right, are you okay for me to play pawn b4 and not worry about the diagram? Not on the work laptop at the moment, etc...
