Lightknight vs Santiago [Chess Game]

I know you're currently in a precarious position on the board so time is necessary to think things out. But it's been several more days since you said you'd post in a few minutes. Are you calling the game? I don't want to keep checking this thread in case you've moved if you aren't going to.

Hi LightKnight. I'm sorry i haven't responded sooner. I have been out of town for a week. I hope to get right back to this tomorrow. Thanks. Also if you feel like discontinuing it, I understand since i have not been very present recently.

No no, it's ok. I was just watching you post all over the site for the past week and was continuously checking to see if this was being done. I have no desire to discontinue it (I think you're in a tight squeeze that may turn in my favor quite easily). It has just been two weeks since your last move.

Well I don't know about that. I'm never one to run in a tight squeeze. Many of the best games I have played have been the ones I've lost. Anyway...here is my move.

So... um. Does this mean you forfeit? (it's been two months)

To be truthful...I forgot about this game. I suppose that means that I forfeited. However checkmate was coming in a matter of less than 5 moves.

Five moves till checkmate for whom? I've still got the board set up, I have a definate advantage right now and I see absolutely no chance in heck of your recovery. If you give up, then give up, but don't put on aires of, "Oh well, but I would have won." That is dishonorable. I am not a fool that doesn't see what moves the other side can make, I admit that I make mistakes, but I also clearly see when I'm in the lead. Not only do I have two knights of yours while you only have a bishop (pawn takings are equal), but your power pieces are speared with few even decent moves that you can make.

If you disagree with this, then don't give up. But again, if you forfeit, that's it, talk beyond that is cheap.

If you were talking about me having you in five moves (which isn't feasible), then of course I detract what I've said.
