1. e4
{
Heidi: Hello my friend!!!
}
{
Heidi: I like the tital, CUTE!!
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Need to have  a little name variation !
}
1... Nf6 2. Nc3
{
OarOrBowWags: I know you like your Ruy Lopez, but I like to be imaginative and be a bit different. My lone creative outlet, moving pieces on a chess board, trying not to do the expected..
}
2... c6 3. d4
{
Heidi: I to, like to play different things.
}
3... d6 4. Be3
{
Heidi: How have you been doing? Are you working again? Or has the illness permantly stopped you?
}
4... Be6
{
OarOrBowWags: Meningitis ?  In the hosoital Thursday morning, home Saturday evening. Stayed home Monday and Tuesday, went to work Wednesday.  That was almost 5 weeks ago.  Too many good women praying for me, I was back on my feet very fast, no ill effects.  I am doing ver well thank you.  Exercising again the past 2 weeks.  My heart disease I am ultra conscientious about with diet always, exercise consistently.  Lat cholesterol check 2 weeks ago, LDL 55, HDL 55, Triglycerides 59 for total of 112.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Spelling seems to suffer a little.
}
5. Bd3
{
Heidi: No more hospital!!! I was very sick the beggining of the week. Lost another two days. I am so tired of being sick! I still have dissy, headache spells and stuff. Swine flu just started at our school today, so now I have to worry about my daughters.
}
5... Nbd7 6. Nge2 a6 7. O-O
{
Heidi: Well, there you are tonight. How ya doing?
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Fine.  Wife and daughter want to do diner and a movie, family night, with discounts. So not many moves.
}
7... g6
{
OarOrBowWags: Nice and central develpment with castle. Aumonde has instructed you well. Is that formation one you like, or he likes ?
}
8. Nf4
{
Heidi: I came up with it, as I am trying to find my way into this. All almonde said is pretty much Fight for the center. He is training me on Roy Lopaz for now, but will move on. Thank you for what you said about this! 
}
{
OarOrBowWags: It is why I don't try to play defensive, more offensive as Black. Too defensive is like giving away an extra move or squares.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: 8 moves, and I already don't like the position.  I like K-Kt to E2 then F4, good placement. 
}
8... Bg7
{
OarOrBowWags: bishop for knight.  I think I have to accept it.
}
9. Nxe6
{
Heidi: Thank you again! 11:27 hu? We are 1:27 am.
}
9... fxe6
{
OarOrBowWags: 2 hours difference.  Isn't it late back there ?
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Combination of your work on your openings, and my lack thereof. I'll have to improve on Black openings.  I lose a lot, and now likely to you in my hastiness for a touch of poor artsiness.
}
10. Ne2
{
Heidi: :O)
}
10... e5
{
OarOrBowWags: You like to cycle those knights thru E2 to F4 !
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Error ?  You had a positional advantage, and rather than extend with further development, you traded a leading piece when it may not have been necessary. Contrary to Exeter 8 and 10, Lasker 2, Hort 7. But you gained Hort 9.
}
11. dxe5
{
Heidi: That road and my N's are just apractice yo you get it right :O). I am sorry I do not understand: Contrary to Exeter 8 and 10, Lasker 2, Hort 7. But you gained Hort 9.?

}
11... Nxe5
{
OarOrBowWags: Odd.  You've gone from having total control of the center, to minimal, and have a trapped bishop, should I want to take it.
}
12. f3
{
Heidi: You are so right, not odd, sad!
}
12... Qc7
{
OarOrBowWags: tempting trouble.
}
13. Nd4
{
Heidi: You got quiet :O(
}
{
OarOrBowWags: some games go back and forth. Most of my Black games are downhill, slow a little, then keep sliding. Your center is still very strong. Don't capture so soon in future games.  Build pressure by developing more pieces. Plan a grand multi-piece exchange.
}
13... Qd7 14. Be2
{
Heidi: oh, ok, thanks. Say.. :O) I think I finally might have saved my Bishop. It is a bad B and cannot move, but at least it is not going to die immediatly. 
}
14... Rd8
{
OarOrBowWags: It would have been an exchange, not an outright capture, so I did not think it worth it. Plus with a pawn re-capture, you'd then have 2 center pawns again.  But who knows what else will happen ;>
}
15. c4
{
Heidi: I like your unique smileys.
}
15... c5 16. Nb3 b6 17. f4 Neg4
{
OarOrBowWags: You got to move 8 with a very good position, then started playing one move chess it seemed. Next add further development moving rooks into better positions. 
}
18. Bd2
{
Heidi: So so quiet. I need to check my email. Or is something wrong now? Well I guess you are not that quiet. :O)
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Have a plan so that you anticipate pieces that can be sacrificed to advantage. Better to trade a piece you seldom use for an active opponents piece, than be mated not using it.
}
18... Nxe4 19. Bxg4
{
Heidi: Like my Bishop. Ah. never mind you will not take that. To exspensive.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: LOL(:>  Sometimes I sits, and sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes times I sits and thinks and writes. When one has nothing to say, or is strictly thinking, not much to say !
}
{
OarOrBowWags: That I did not anticipate you doing, but a good choice. Turn the game back in your favor.
}
19... Qc7
{
OarOrBowWags: I think I missed a move I thought about first. Hhave to make those notes to myself !!!!
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Took a bishop for nothing. Game about even now.  I need to force an error to get back in.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Is that my 2nd bad blunder in a game with you ?
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Make that took a knight with a bishop for nothing, left out a word.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Need to have lunch and make a run to Trader Joe's.  Back later.
}
20. Bc3
{
Heidi: First one I remember.
}
20... Nxc3
{
OarOrBowWags: The game you trapped my queen. I managed a rook and pawn for it. Long ago and  far away, you're better now.
}
21. bxc3
{
Heidi: Ah yes, I remember now. 
}
21... h5
{
OarOrBowWags: Hmm, delay. Either you're away or don't feel well.
}
22. Bf3
{
Heidi: Good evening!
}
22... Bxc3
{
OarOrBowWags: Question.  Do all these chess games give you a lot of stress ? For some time they raised my blood pressure unpleasantly.  I need to play for fun, and limit being competitive, not thinking too hard.  It also took too much time. With 40 games as you have, I would not have other time.
}
23. Rc1
{
Heidi: It is so hot hear tonight. We had such a mello summer. Tonight it is 90 degrees. Our air conditner was fixed yesturday, but it didn't have a chance to catch up before today. 4 to 7 pawns. I think this is your game, again. I WILL beat you..., someday, loll.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Looks like we're moving to end game. Congratulations. Primarily good play on your part, one blunder by me. 
}
23... Bg7
{
OarOrBowWags: You have an extra knight. My end game brain is a tad small, so with a piece advantage you can still win. Think positive.  Odd to be encouraged by an opponent ?
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Its 88 degrees here at about 6 pm.
}
24. Be4
{
Heidi: I just wore a no sleeve shirt to walk dogs! I had to were a jacket last night at this same time. Material count only has me up by one so it is anybody's.I have rarely done endgame.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Yes, but you again control the center. If I was playing white, Black is lost. 
}
24... Kd7
{
OarOrBowWags: I need to escape more than protect pawns.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: My queen and King are on the wrong side of the pawn structure, and two pawns will be immediate losses opening the board more for you than for me.  A little planning, and you can't lose this game. Maybe if I kept the knight and gave up th bishop instead a few moves back.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: I should have castled queen side. Lesson learned.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Enough pawns left at the end to make knights more valuable, for me at least. That is two blunders this game.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Make that three, counting the failure to castle.
}
25. Qe2
{
Heidi: I have an idea, but I will probaly take alot longer than you, if even you let me do it :O).
}
25... Rh6
{
OarOrBowWags: You have sufficient forces to win, and pawns to sacrifice. I have more pawns, but none passed.  Just decide where you want to break through, at minimal cost.  I don't know if I could do it fast. Sacrificing pieces or pawns to win is part of the game. 
}
{
Heidi: Total re-think. Hear was my plan : Bg6, f5, f6, getting rid of e7 Rd1, Rf5?, Rd5?, ending up Rd6, Bf5. On to a new one. Will take a little time, sorry.
}
26. Rcd1 Kc8
{
OarOrBowWags: You have to anticipate my likely responses, favorable to you, and less favorable.  In fact, the key can be the anticipation of my moves and your subsequent moves relying on them, but in your favor.
}
27. f5
{
Heidi: I  am trying, to do these things after you say them, but I end up looking like a fool, I am so sorry.
}
27... g5
{
OarOrBowWags: You are not looking foolish.  Not to be said.  With too many games going on you make it difficult to focus.  You're learning in your first year of chess playing.

If you did not know you should try to anticipate your opponents likely moves, you've had poor teachers. Since you are not your own teacher, its anyone's fault but yours. ;>
}
{
OarOrBowWags: You have your few preferred moves in any given situation. Given each of those, what will be your opponents probable reply ? If a threat, avoid capture or defend or capture first ?
Try to select your move based on the likely countermove and you're following move.  Try to think at least one move ahead.  Two better.  That is why 40 gaes is too many.  Grandmasters put on display of something like 16 simultaneous games moving from board to board, in person.  Each game against a different player. They usually win 15 or even all 16.  You're a beginner, so you should only have a couple, and keep focus better.  You overstretch.  It may be fun, until you learn more and realize how many may be staving off an inevitable loss.  Is like playing basketball and not looking at the score, but never scoring.  Pretty soon you learn the other guy wants to take the ball away from you, and keeps making baskets.  You only lose the ball, and never make baskets.  Then the guy tells you that you lost. Not a fair game.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Much as you may hate the idea, don't be a loss machine.   Resign the slowest games you are behind in. In others if badly behind, even though mate is not close just resign, don't waste the mental energy.  I get depressed and hate chess when I have a bunch of slow losing games, 3-6 have done it.  I can't imagine having 30+ losing games going on. Torturous.
Start A FEW new games with your better skills.  Try players in the 1100-1300 range.  I think you'll be challenged, but may win many if you avoid blunders, and can work in some strong tactics.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Another reason to resign a game.  Respect and courtesy to the other player.  Continuing means you believe you can outplay them the rest of the way and win.  Resigning earlier is not giving up, but giving acknowledgement of a great series of moves you did not anticipate.  If the person keeps it up, you lose looking even worse, learning nothing.  Take a defeat graciously, and start another game, and review the other person's brilliant combination that did you in, or at least your horrible sequence that you want to avoid in the future.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: AND remember, equal or higher rank, and you are Black, is an almost certain loss. To try to win as Black, play lower ranked players. With some success, move on up 50 points or so in ratings.  Follow good games with better players.
}
28. Rf3
{
Heidi: It may kill me, but I will do this. Do you want me to resign our game also since you are high rated? no hard feelings if you do. You sure have been a great teacher though.
}
28... Bf6
{
OarOrBowWags: This game ?  You are a piece ahead, and have opportunity to win still.  I have no passed pawns, and 5 pawns have no where to go while in defense
}
{
OarOrBowWags: I have not looked at but a few of your games.  If you are playing them even, hang in.  Any game still fun, stay in.

My last couple games with you, you are playing to my level at least. My accurate rating is probably closer to 1500-1550. Slower the game the more forgetful of any planning I have going. Easier to blunder, and I do.
}
29. Rdf1
{
Heidi: My rating keeps going down.  No, I meant future games. 
}
29... h4
{
OarOrBowWags: Hey, mine did too.

}
{
OarOrBowWags: If I try, I may blow it, but then you should win.  I think that is a good result.
}
30. Bd5
{
Heidi: Very, very good!
}
30... Kb8
{
OarOrBowWags: ??
}
31. Re3
{
Heidi: The part about "I should win"
}
31... Rh7
{
OarOrBowWags: Well, work it, girl !
}
{
OarOrBowWags: When you lose most games you play, ratings will not go up. To win more, IMHO, fewer games, opponents no more than 300 points better. You made no big blunders in this game. That is important to be able to win.
}
32. Qe1
{
Heidi: Well I did a bunch in this game, and now even it is taking me a long time to get back to where I want to be. 
}
32... Qd7
{
OarOrBowWags: You're a piece up.  Positional moves I took advantage of, which you should expect of Black. Very minor blunders.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Your opponent need not be accomodating. Actually something you should distrust.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Plan on a game with bwulbecker.  1400+.  Does make the blunder or two a game, so you may have a solid chance against him, even as Black.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: bwulbecker is a more responsive player than Kahuna, so the game will move along.
}
33. Rf2
{
Heidi: than you, I will!
}
{
Heidi: http://www.schemingmind.com/game.aspx?game_id=221912
}
33... Be5
{
OarOrBowWags: Unrated game with bw ?
}
34. Ref3
{
Heidi: Whoops, forgot to take that off at the top. Darn
}
34... Bf4
{
OarOrBowWags: Play him an unrated game then a rated one. This move should really upset you.
}
35. g3
{
Heidi: lol, YES, you are a little bit of a pain! :O)
}
{
Heidi: He must not be a full member, because his light went out :O(, even bigger whoops.
}
{
Heidi: Gosh what a trip. I am trying to get rid of games and I see I have 4, yes 4, games going aginst your friend bwulbecker. 
}
35... hxg3
{
OarOrBowWags: Light went out ? Nobody home ?
}
{
OarOrBowWags: He was not overly chatty, but I think I played him 2 games. He may turn one down, or you can suggest he do that.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: I could no recall mentioning him before. That's my memory.
}
36. hxg3
{
Heidi: I will. I meant, lol, his challange was not lit up any more. Sorry I forgot you do not read minds. I am horrid at speach even :O). like I said, I have brown hair, but the roots that go into my brain are blonde. :O)
}
36... Qxf5
{
OarOrBowWags: Blonde roots.  That's funny.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Last night you had 59 games in progress.  59 !!! I don't do very well with more than 5.  Single digits ! Well don't abandon dozens, just play in slelct groups of games in which opponents respond with a move with decent frequency. Use the "Note to myself" on game thoughts or clever ideas you come up with.  Very annoying to realize you forgot a move.
}
37. gxf4
{
Heidi: :O), ok, I plan to get down to 15 or less, no more. I will need chearing on.
}
37... Rdh8
{
OarOrBowWags: Pawn protection removed.  Not a good omen. That is always a goal during attack. You needed to try to get the pawns lined up so yours  blocked mine on your King side, now my rooks have an open file.
}
38. fxg5
{
Heidi: I resigned 2 more games yesturday and I have 5 games that they ran out of time that still have not been taken off. Do you know when they do take those off? It seems like every three or four months but I may be wrong.
}
38... Qg4+
{
OarOrBowWags: Look at the options.  you don't need to give a lifeline of 10 days if you don't want to.
}
39. Kf1
{
Heidi: I honestly only did to one person ever, that's why I do not get it. Should I private message that head guy, or is it to trivial? I had 9 on there for months and these 5 are mostly from that.
}
39... Rh1+
{
OarOrBowWags: Which games, I'll look at the choices if I can see them.
}
{
Heidi: http://www.schemingmind.com/game.aspx?game_id=190526  http://www.schemingmind.com/game.aspx?game_id=189621  http://www.schemingmind.com/game.aspx?game_id=196925  http://www.schemingmind.com/game.aspx?game_id=199485  http://www.schemingmind.com/game.aspx?game_id=205634  http://www.schemingmind.com/game.aspx?game_id=210283
}
40. Ke2
{
Heidi: That hurts, I should have taken longer before moving. Good Job! I guess there was 6 of them left.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: All I can see is an option to add a kibitz/comment.
}
40... Rxe1+
{
OarOrBowWags: If I steal this game, that shows you just how close you are to winning against better players.  You may be dominating with 1100-1200 players, and should play some in that range and see how you do.
}
41. Kxe1 Qxg5 42. Re3 Qxe3+
{
OarOrBowWags: Ooooooooooh !!! That was not a good move !
}
43. Re2 Qc3+
{
OarOrBowWags: I almost walked into your capture of my rook !
}
{
Heidi: I am on my daughters computer now but the keyboard is out on my laptop so unless my husband gets a new one or fixes it you may not like me, I am sick about, I need you unceasing prayer, PLEASE. YES, boy boy I made that move with horror afterward. 
}
44. Nd2 Rf8
{
OarOrBowWags: You have a confirm button. Play slowly.
}
{
Heidi: YES, I will try, I am so so sorry. Would
}
{
Heidi: would like me to skip you awhile? I still get email but cannot respond. I lost addrreess to the bookmark you ewmailed me xould you resend?  Thank you!
}
45. Rxe7 Qg3+ 46. Kd1
{
Heidi: I am going realy miss you!
}
46... Qg1+ 47. Re1 Qg4+ 48. Kc2
{
Heidi: Have you quit talking? Bill is going to hookup a regular keyboard to my laptop so it will work!!! thank you for the prayers!!! God is GOOD!!!
}
48... Qd7
{
OarOrBowWags: Really, I don't talk all the time.  You are back to playing well, I see.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: You missed a win, but I think you've earned a draw. Or do you want to hold out for a win, and gamble against a loss ?
}
{
Heidi: I messed up so much back a wase. I will take the draw, if you would not mind playing me again. My husband hooked me up with a wireless keyboard that works with my laptop. I am SO SO happy!!!
}
{
Heidi: I do not know how to do the dr*raw thing.  Oh, by the way I got all the timeout off there. When clicked on them and looked at all the option keys some said 
"forfiet" on the ones that did not have enough moves and the ones that did it said "claim win"
}
49. Ne4 Qa4+
{
OarOrBowWags: 

}
{
OarOrBowWags: I don't play a big collection of people. Of the few "students" I am playing with regularity, you are the making the best progress.  The last two games were both a good challenge for me.  If you keep improving there should come a time when I won't want to play you, because the results will be depressing to me.  Then I hope you can improve my game.  We'll try to seesaw up the ratings.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Move 49 was a blunder, I think. At D2 the knight guarded B3 and kept the queen out. Now I may have the means to win.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Just don't rush any games.  Are you using "Notes to myself" ? 
}
50. Kd3
{
Heidi: Honestl, I use them on about 15 games. I am working on getting the # of my games down so I can use them on 100% of them. I will on ours after this, ok?
}
50... Re8
{
OarOrBowWags: Your choice.
}
{
OarOrBowWags: Only you can see the notes, I think.
}
51. Ke3
{
Heidi: You are right. I jusr havn't worked out tge games on the other. Not feeling gteat after hospital on Fridy.
}
51... Qxa2 52. Kf4 a5 53. Rg1 Qb2
{
OarOrBowWags: You're quite the end game dancer.
}
54. Kf5 Qe5+ 55. Kg6
{
Heidi: Does that mean I am suposed to rsign, or can you explain "endgame dancer" to me :O). Help, I now have just a move to throw quesion in. 
}
{
OarOrBowWags: No hidden meaning. I'm not that clever. You're King is getting a lot of moves in. Trying wangle to the rooks diagonal, no doubt.  
}
55... Rf8
{
OarOrBowWags: I have a new opponent, rated about same as me. I'm keeping them interesting, but leaning the wrong way, towards a loss.  At least I am playing a little unpredictable. I took a pawn I probably did not need, making way for the other side's rook. Next is a queen exchange. He expected that earlier. Staving off checkmate.  The queen exchange should slow him down.
}
56. Kh6
{
Heidi: Is the opponentlso new to this website?
}
{
OarOrBowWags: No, since 2004.
