I'm going to be gone until next Thursday. Maybe I'll be able to get online from time to time, but can't be sure. Taking a week long vacation to LA to be with family, primarily my brother flying in from Seoul.
Anyways, I'll be putting games on hold tomorrow for a week :P

I completely forgot I signed up for this. Anyone want to play a game?
I'm going to point out that it is a bit silly to ask if anyone wants to play a game in a thread solely dedicated to playing the game. I think you should instead just send out the game requests and get cracking :P
Just to let everyone know. It is trade show week for me so I won't have time to Chess on Thursday through Saturday. Any of my current games I will try to make a move within that time to reset the timers but I won't be starting any new games until after I get back.
I created an Icrontic chess group, so we can do some nerdy chess things like post games in our private forums or participate in team matches or vote chess matches, which are pretty cool. At the very least it allows us to see who from icrontic is currently playing on chess.com. If I missed you for an invite or you're starting up an account, you can request to join here: chess.com/groups/home/icrontic
I thought this game was pretty good. This guy has a ton of games played but made some mistakes late game that let me into a winning position despite being down a little material.
he missed 41. re7 which i think would have won him the game.
I'm not sure. I guess he wanted to get rid of the white squared bishop more than trading for a rook. I did a computer analysis and it didn't flag that move as a mistake by him.
You can post games with comments and alternative lines and stuff in the Chess.com forums, so I might give my thoughts on games you guys post sometimes, in the Icrontic group forums.

Queen on!
If you want you can leave a message in chat when you leave and I'll delay my move as long as I can.
Also well played to @CannonFodder to ending my 10 game winning streak.
I have been enjoying learning from the games

So, this is maaaybe a thing.
Pawn got a booty.
Fixed.
I'm working on figuring out how to do the top of the queen and king now; I think I will either have to lower my print temps, or remove some detail.
Shouldn't the IC Penis™ be the king? or the pawn, so you talk about the plethora of penises?
He'll need a model. Paging @cola.

Its ok, you can totally beat me the 100+ times it takes to get that back.

I wonder why he didn't trade his knight for your rook rather than your bishop @ move 24. That whole exchange was rather strange.
