26. Egor v Gunner Duggan

[Basil]

Thanks EGOR. I don't at all agree that I was clearly winning prior to your blunder. I have a suspicion that I was worse. I'll check it out and let you know. Thanks for the games.

You telling me I blundered in both our games when I had the advantage!

[Basil]

Well certainly in the first one
But look on the bright side - here's the place to do it - not OTB

But I do it here all the time. I play on four turn based chess web site and on none of them do I (often) make the blunders that I regulary make in these CC tournaments.
I'm lost as to why I do so badly here.

It was a very even game
The losing move was 39.gxh5
39. Rxf2 maintained equality

I do notice that Egor made gxh5 after only 5 minutes thought. Perhaps this was a factor?

How do you know how long I thought about the move?

Had a look at the times between Gunners last move post and your reply. Of course I could be wrong and that you had the move on your board from the previous move.

Fair enough.
