If any of you guys want a bit of feedback on your game, style, etc., (like Zab's first game 31. ... Qf2#) then ask.

Also, if this isn't allowed during the competition then wait until after!

Match 1: http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=70688214# (Zab(b) won)
Match 2: http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=70838070&alert=1 (Stalemate, Jato cheated) zab-white, jato-black

Actually, I was down to my king and 1 pawn, and my king got 4 kills, (3 pawns and a rook) and evaded 3 queens until stalemate!

Feedback I don't mind, just don't coach them extensively

I looked at my second game with Clank and realized I missed checkmate on move 3...so I was feeling pretty dumb.

I am hoping me and Yoshimatsu can find some time online in common, because I hate correspondence games. I think I'll keep it up as much as I can today in case he shows up and we can make moves a bit quicker at least. Don't mind unlimited time in a live game, but still prefer it live. Correspondence just feels like playing JKA on 56K.

Someone needs to study endgame if they can't get a checkmate with not 1 queen...not 2 queens....but 3 queens on the board. Jus' sayin'.

btw, the real easy way to win would have been once you had 2 queens you could have just blockaded with 59. Qe4 and then marched the king up the board with your 2 queens like rooks.
