Why does everyone always forget about economy and moral?

Re: Team chess?
So, I asked Lichess for a computer analysis of the game. Turns out the only mistake for Black was 24... Qxb2, which I made. Oops.

All fun and games until you get a Black Thursday incident and crash the global economy. Much more consistent to play it safe and slow with government bonds.Pengwinja wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2024 5:51 pmWhy does everyone always forget about economy and moral?

I think I would play another round as well; I would defer to someone else to do the signups and setup.Wattsthematter wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2024 4:39 pmGood game, would be happy to do another one of these.

Oh good, the game is over. Now I can comment.
It was fun watching the game unfold! Though I was sputtering during the draw offer discussion, when Black was completely winning, with an extra piece and a better position to boot.

Did you look at all at 11... Bxg5? I was trying to figure out if Black would have enough counterplay to make up for the exchange.sweetandcool wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 7:18 amOh good, the game is over. Now I can comment.

Re: Team chess?
Yes, that is an idea in the position that I looked at. I don't think it is so bad, but I think in the end Ra7 is pretty good because it allows you to swing it over with Rd7, an ideal square for the rook.Spartaculous wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 3:37 pmDid you look at all at 11...

This worked out really nicely when White decided to waste a move Be3, chasing Black's rook to the square he wanted to be, and making a move like Bb7 playable for Black.
I really think the start of White's problems occured at 9. Ng5?!. I would strongly prefer to place my Bishop there with Bg5 instead. That way White can remove Black's Knight any time they want, destroying a defender of the extremely critical d5 square.
