Don't feel bad, Burnsey!

Talon is in the process of wiping up the board with me.

Perhaps I'll be better mentally prepared for our second game. *fingers crossed*
Anywho,
Dowdy (white) vs. Elfstone (black) [wins]
Very well played, Dowdy! You made a lot of good moves and even forced me to sacrifice my queen (ya meanie!

).
I have to share this (though probably you had to be there to find it amusing). When I made that last move on our match, Dowdy, I knew I was putting you in check but I didn't realize it was checkmate. For some reason it hadn't dawned on me that my knight was covering the square where I thought you'd have to move. I was sitting there studying the board and trying to plan out how the next few moves would go when I realized it said "rematch". I was like, "REMATCH? WHO WON? . . . oh . . .

duh"
