Yea, that was a blunder.
Don't worry, I make plenty of those.Latest move:
The handwriting is on the wall.
I would like to play another, if you care to? I feel like we are pretty evenly matched.
Yeah sure

MUST restrain (he means Pompous) LOGIC/Game-Theorey-Philosophy mode..... (Please do, you bore even me!)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ........Yessssss..ssss, ......................but...... sigh.... (Sense prevails - phew - )
No. Let's hear what you have to say regarding "LOGIC/Game-Theory-Philosophy". This isn't any kind of challenge. I am honestly interested.

My problem is that I am TRULY AWFUL at chess; surprisingly for my mentors, teachers and parents.
(as he discovered a few lives later that part of my brain that looks at purely logic games is.... hmmmmm ....broken-ish.)
As I discovered (much-much) later I can't isolate strategy/operational/tactical/political matters from the human. I glory in my joy studying physics - astro/quantum/theoretical etc. Despite a mental block over (advanced) calculus making it difficult to follow the mathematical theorey. (This mental block exists over personal relationships but he sees groups well - which explains a LOT)
Besides that ramble into strangeness, to return to game theorey (and your most kind comment @Meat Grinder) the philosophy of human group relationships (in buisness, beauracracies, militaries, governence etc.) is varied, extensive & fascinating especially in competitive situations/scenarios. The pure logic of chess is (mostly) shorn of human interactions - which obscures much of my understanding. Something I find troubling on occasion, but no more so than most of my other mental tics & idiocies (See pompous - told you ).
Apologies for rambling - I have a few jobs to finish and less than 8 hrs until I return to work

Yup (Yes)
Just don't expect me to.. snort like a piggie. (not telling that type of story here )
My brain works in ways I struggle to understand, but I grok the results (sometimes) and - often after some (internal) wrangling - can make statements that make sense to me... Communication with other humans is sometimes difficult. (He's not wrong).

Row, row, row your boat......
I've played it before boys.......you don't beat this river.
@Meat Grinder new challenge issued. 
Ribbon awarded to @Meat Grinder - @Nathangun already has one.
I have all my ribbons sewn on to my boxers, you never know, I might be seen semi naked.
Yikes!
So I guess this is the new FGM official Chess thread, until someone comes up with something better. ;-)
So I went ahead and paid for a premium chess.com membership. This allows me to, among other things, use the AI (using the Stockfish engine, IIRC) to review and analyze games I have played. Here is the review (with AI commentary) of my first game with @Nathangun (me white) . We both, according to the AI, made several errors (the AI categorizes errors, from least to worst as: "Inaccuracy", "Mistake", "Blunder").
Note: This video plays about one move per second. To slow it down on the YT screen, go to the bottom and click on the Settings (looks like a gear) icon and choose the speed you want. Half speed seems to be best, IMO, but .25 speed gave me more time to see my mistakes.
