Agreed. I spent a day on the dark side yesterday learning some gimmicky traps and gambits and playing some blitz, but I think that's all out of my system. I got punished for it by having my slow games that night be awful.
This one was a lot better. I was in an interesting spot at the end when my opponent disconnected, but it was still very much in doubt and had some interesting possibilities I thought.

I was about to play Qb3 check, and I was imagining the line going something like ... Kf1 33. b6 and at that point I think we're basically dead even, but Crafty is acting all weird about it. It keeps assuming the line will go 33. b6 Bd4 34. Kf1, which looks suicidal to me. I would just play 34. b7 but Crafty just refuses to show an evaluation after that move. That usually means there's a mate-in-one on the board somewhere, but I don't see it.
