I started the game below quite a while back via the Chess.com application for Facebook and ultimately won the game on time. Now, after a long break, I’m back to playing some chess again and Chess.com has a new feature to finish a game against the computer. So, just for kicks I finished the game against the hardest computer setting. Granted I started with a strong position, but I won against the computer quite handily. Interested persons may view the two halves of the game below.
