Game 1 :

Not the most well balanced match-up but a satisfying one. I am not usually too good with calculating king hunts but this one turned out well.

At this point black's best move is actually to block with his queen. It is the only way to aviod the mate in four. But black thinks he can get away... 		Game Screenshot

Oh well, nobody's perfect, besides my mate was prettier... 		Game Screenshot




Game 2 :

I played black in this one. This was a good matchup, but I gained the advantage and got into a winning position, unfortunatly I had let my time run too much and was left scrambling at end, I ended up losing on time my opponent had two seconds left, such is life...

I'm pretty sure I would've had a win at this point anyway. He can win a piece with Rb6 (if knight jumps to protect then Rc6) but after that I'd still be up three pawns and I think I could pull a win out of that. Of course, it was a quick game so I never had the chance. These days I try to play longer games so I can actually practice endgames like these.

I will add more games as I play more and get better.
