Nice win by your opponent, and good of you to include that game in your newsletter and post. Given the rating gap, it was probably a nice coup for him. We (C players) like one of those every now and then.

However, while he likely would have mated you in fairly short order at the point of your resignation - Mr. Torres had missed his opportunity for 48. …Qg2#. (That’s the price of having games posted - piciune observations like mine.:slight_smile:) Thanks.

Yes, I think Alex has great instincts, but a little patience would make a big difference in his rating and catching those mates. I was the one in time pressure, not him.
