[@Nick_Craddock]

That game was a nailbiter. Well done defending.

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks Mr Moon!

[@robbrown3925]

Always interesting when one player is totally winning, and the opponent launches an attack where such precision is required to defend. Well navigated!

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks rob! Yeah it was an interesting game for sure!

[@Mister-Germ]

Hey Owen, GREAT game by you! Hope you get to 1700 soon, and then to 2000!

[@Blunder_Man]

I'll get there, just give it time haha

[@Mister-Germ]

@@Blunder_Man Will do! Love the content as well!

[@shaniapaige4846]

Solid defending. Calculations on point too.

[@Blunder_Man]

Thankyou Shania!

[@Lucas-wl8py]

such a tense position and the bar was always very much in your favor...nicely done by staying calm

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks Lucas! Yeah it was a wee bit stressful, but managed to hold on!

[@KerTon4]

Fresh fade, maintained composure, GGs

[@Blunder_Man]

Eyyy hahaha thankyou

[@timspeer5669]

Those H file pawn advances throw a wrench in everything! Well played!

[@Blunder_Man]

Thankyou brother! Yes, I wasn't in too much trouble after all, but in the game I didn't know that haha

Thanks Keenan! Got a bit tense, but managed to hold on haha

Owen I noticed finally what the pillow says - you’re an AOE fan?

[@Blunder_Man]

I'm a huge AOE2 fan, I used to play the game exclusively haha

[@gaius68]

Well played Owen. It would have been interesting to see how game played out if your opponent hadn't resigned. Would you be able to share the game PGN please?

[@Blunder_Man]

Yes! Here's the game: www.chess.com/live/game/108720629413

[@gaius68]

@@Blunder_Man That's great - many thanks! A little exploration of the candidate moves & I can see why your opponent resigned!

[@tomroggero]

Subscribed. I play every day and I am at 750. I suck.

[@Blunder_Man]

No bro!!! You do not suck! You just have more room for improvement!

[@harrygogan8297]

Hi Owen well done today. Hope you make it to 1700 this week. I'm 1701 if you want a game?

[@Blunder_Man]

If the fates will have it, I hope to play a lot of 1700s consistently now
