You too!
I just blundered away a win in my last game so I'm going to try tonotdo that this time“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Hunh, I'm not quite so booked up on the Vienna game“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

I'm at least booked up enough to know this move“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Yes, I learned that by playing it and losing :)“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Oh, I know that feeling well, remind me to dig up one of my amazing failed queen sacs.

"Re7e2" is perfectly fine as notation but "R7e2" is already unambiguous, fyi

I think I'm playing in the most boring possible way but I also think that's correct play for me“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

How many syllables is your username supposed to have? I've been mentally pronouncing it as in French (muh-NAHLK) but seeing your location maybe I should be mentally pronouncing it as in Spanish (may-NAHL-kay) instead?“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Ah! I studied some French and then probably forgot most of it but I do at least remember how to pronounce it. I do think the board accepts the “é” but it gives automatic vote counters and the like a hard time, so maybe it was a good choice to omit it.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Hmm, good question. I wanted to study a second language anyway, but as I recall the main reason why French in particular is because at the time I was planning to go into academia and French is one of the handful of languages in which new math research is published. Many math Ph.D. programs have a foreign language proficiency requirement so I figured I may as well get that out of the way up front, though in the end I didn't actually turn out to need it.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Hah, I was like "wow, he's really thinking about this, he's either totally stuck or calculating out some absolute brilliancy"
I recently started a new job as a software engineer! Before that I was working in the math department for a slot machine company, which was fun for a while (especially when we got to make "research trips" to casinos that included a gambling budget) but ultimately kind of a dead end, so I did what nerds do when they want more money and moved to dev :)“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

I mean I'm only up a piece for a pawn so anything is possible! You've seen me blow a bigger lead than that.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Oh yeah, never ever ever resign in blitz, I've been one-move stalemated by people who really ought to know better (and I've done it myself even though I ought to know better, too)
It's really weird that pgn4web doesn't show checks in the move list even when they're included in the text!“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

I mean, anyone can miscalculate a tactic and it's tough being a piece down out of the opening in a slow game like this. I think you played as well as you really could under the circumstances, I just had a much easier task than you did.
Thanks for the game!“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Btw, Stockfish likes your 17. Re7, and says the initial knight blunder was the only real mistake in the game!“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.
