I sacked a B for 2 pawns on h7. He had to give the B back a couple moves later, then we traded off Queen's. I had an easily won endgame but was down on my clock. I finished with 11 seconds left. I am sure your dad will tell you about how he hates time delay ;-)<br><br>It would be cool if my kid grows up to like chess. Have a good day and good luck with your game.<br><br>phorku / timphorkuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11816741510002718697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213592202893089703.post-13094925043041083012006-12-21T07:57:05.066-06:002006-12-21T07:57:05.066-06:00Hey Tim,That sounds like a very good game.
