    I thought we could show some of our best or interesting games.

    I'll start off with this one (Brag Alert :P) I was black and my opponent was rated 1800, A good 300 points ahead of me. Certainly not a perfect game by either side.

    (I don't know how to embed a PGN viewer anyone any ideas?)

    I have attached the PGN too in case anyone want to do their homework on me and take me out! I have stopped playing the French so it might not be all that useful. :P

    Here's an interesting endgame position. 2 rooks cant beat a lone Bishop

    How do you embed a game like that?

    That website allows you to make a GIF image from a PGN, couldn't think of any other way to do it. Its a real shame we cant embed a PGN Viewer

    Yreval that first game is crazy! Was it blitz?

    Still looking for the mate in 2!

    I can't remember what the exact time control was (I'm thinking G/90) but it certainly wasn't rapid or blitz.

    Didn't see it in the game, but got it from the position above. Super little mate!
