I apologize for the General Broadcast, but
this is the only way I know how to get my message across to multiple people at
the same time. Here is what I have written..........
Somebody HELP!! I am having trouble with
bengal.
OK, it all started on DC (Double
Chess) 195 & 196. He spent the whole game telling me how weak my moves
are & how bad my King will be checkmated. When I won both games (1 with a
mate in 2 & 1 with a mate in 5), he became upset & said some rude
comments. He said he will not play DC games with me anymore because my play is
too boring for him. Too boring??
Anyways....His verbal abuse continued over
our Chess games. Chess board 822 & 870. On Chess Board 870 by move 10 (PBeM
moves) he said I had already abandoned the Kingside & therefore he will
checkmate me soon. After I won a pawn on move 29.Qxf6, he said he has been
playing without a board, now he will use a physical board & quickly show me
the weaknesses in my play. On move 40. I announced a mate in 3 & asked if he
would like an "undo" he said "If mate is what you want, then come get it" &
declined the undo. He commented on this win by saying my play was very weak
because I checkmated him using my Queen & Knight, while I left the rest of
my army undeveloped.
On Chess Board 822, by move 25.h3, he once
again explained to me how much troble my position is in. On move 30.Nf4 I forked
his King & Queen. He wrote saying "OK, lets see how much you have learnt
from me. There is a better move then capturing the Queen, can you find it?" Of
course there was a better move, I captured a pawn & then theatened to return
to the same position to win his Queen anyway. He said I should of played
32.Nxg2 because I would of captured one of his pieces & saved my Knight, but
if I capture his Queen (& a pawn) He recaptures my Knight, therefore
the Queen capture would be weaker. Anyways, instead of allowing the
same position & the Queen Fork, he moved his King into another mate in 2.
Again, he told me my play is too boring for him.
OK, last one... I know this is getting
long. I have saved some of his comments this game so I will insert them when I
can. On Chess board 868....On move 10, he asked me what my opinion of the
position was... I told him I thought black had permanent weak white squares on
the Kinside & that the e file was also a weakness for black. He of course
said the white squares are not weak because I dont have a Bishop of that color,
he also said that the e file is a strength for him & it is my King that will
be mated because of the e file. By move 29.Qf7.... I had explained to him you
dont have to have a white squared Bishop to exploit white square
weaknesses. He then told me I am real close to losing. This is what he wrote
me...

1. Deny your King of the entire queen side. This in turn allows me to 2. Have complete control of the q-side, and control of the dark squares. 3. Keep your rook entombed for a minimum 5 pbem moves, not including this move. i don't believe you realise how important that e-file was to your campaign. Well, Nf3 is a light square. But you have bigger problems than me. {Long enough to exploit the q-side which you abandoned. The k-side is only important when a king has castled to that side. Mine is currently at c8, far from that theatre, far from danger. Yours is at f1, sandwiched between two dark towers. At move 52, after he realized his game is
lost he wrote saying "If you play 53.dxe6... it would be overkill, I would have
no chance to defend myself, thus the game would become boring to me. But your
Queen has served well, maybe it is time to sacrifice her at e6 instead, you
would then have a Rook vs. my King & pawns." I, of course played
53.dxe6 (nobody is going to tell me what I have to play!) Here is what he wrote
in response......

in Chess 868.
Your win will come in about 21 days. As for OmegaChess Boards 185 & 186 and DoubleChess Boards m25 & m52, they will be done in silence. And when those 5 are completed, so will be my transactions with you. What were you saying about resignation? If that's what you demand, then that's what you'll get. End of discussion. You have got to be kidding!!! He is mad
because I did not play the move He wanted me to play??? Anyway, he did send me
one more comment ..............

If you wish to break my silence, simply replay the move on Chess Board 868. But, should you decide to stick to your guns, then this is my final comment to you, period. You have 3 weeks to think about it. Do not answer me until you're absolutely certain this is what you choose. It's one move you do not wish to blunder, so think it over very carefully. I am sorry, but this behavior is unacceptable! I think he is a very sore
loser & a bad sportsman. I am going to complain to everyone I can, in the
hope that something can be done about this. PBeM does not need this kind of
person terrorizing everyone in sight & chasing off honest people who just
want to have fun & play some games in a friendly enviornment.
Respectfully Yours,
Michael (mdlopezlvn)
ps. With the exception of the comments in Bold
Italics, bengal's comments are how I remember them. They are
not his word by word, but are pretty close. It wasn't until recently that I
started to save his comments to me. I apologize for any minute
discrepancies.
