Won two, lost one. It's funny how you lose your proclivity for chess, then gain it back again as if it was never really gone. One thing all of these games have in common is me coming back from a deficit in material to win (or almost win) with superior positioning. I always say that chess is less about the pieces and more about the spaces between them, so maybe this would be a good demonstration of that.
Won by checkmate. My opponent really flubbed it on move 29.
Lost by checkmate. Should have moved the pawn to f5 on move 13. I sacrificed a knight for nothing. What ultimately did me in was the pawn box that trapped my king in at the end. g6 at any point would have saved my hide.
Won by resignation. Brought out my queen too early even though I should know better by this point. 13. ... Rxc3 would have moved things along more speedily.
