I feel kinda closely matched by Casuistry, but he's been improving and I haven't, so it may no longer be the case.

I'm enjoying chessops though.

I think I just got lucky in the first game. My rating is down to 1311, Ken's is 1441.

Zep, I was thinking if you did 43. Kf1 you would have been able to draw me (since I would have been wiggling my rook and king around to keep you in check) but I've been playing around with it and after 43. Kf1 Rf2 comes 44. ...Rxf5 and it should be possible to pluck off the rest of your pawns before (or, at worst, immediately after) they queen. And a rook is enough to mate. (Here's the game.)
(Beyond that, 6. f3 seems like it was an iffy move, even though it is superficially similar to what I did with 3. ...d6, but moving the d pawn helps my development and control of the center in ways that your f pawn only dreams about. 6. d3 seems like a much better choice there.)

I have to say, I'm completely disappointed about the blunder that ended our last game, which was quite the game. I was curious how the rest of the game was going to wind out. I think I had a slight advatage of position and time but even a single rook is a menace and bishop + knight mates are arduous.
