Game 18: Win - 39 Turns
This was a game I played at chess.com against one of the admins there. It was the introductory game that he offered to play me since I was new to the site. He was a high ranked player who I suspect to be pretty good but he was always in the middle of about 1000 games. I think if he concentrated on our game more it would have affected the outcome.

Game 16: Win - 25 Turns
This was an OTB game that me and glen played at my place. There were a number of errors in my record keeping and I think I have it put back together correctly. However I suspect the last Rd8+ (originally recorded as Rxd8+) may indeed have been a capture but I am not sure what could have been on that square. I need to be more careful in the note taking.

This was an OTB game against Glen that we played one night after a blind draw. We hung out at the Knarr afterwards and played a game. I was white.

Queening my e pawn stalemated the game. It was a very stupid move. Note to self: Always check to make sure you are leaving your opponent a move!!
