First Victory

Here is the game score of my first victory.
I had the white pieces. My opponent was winning and I believe he mistakenly resigned. He should take my f pawn en passant with a very sharp attack.

I am not doing as well in my other games.

Congratulations! I don't know why he resigned the match, but I am sure you will be able to pull out the other matchs you have started. As you play, you will see opportunities to overtake your opponents. I know you are a good strategist, and that is what chess is all about. Thinking and planning many moves in advance. Love, Dad

Yea, good job Alan!

Congrats. How do you know who was winning though? Looks like you had more of his pieces than he had of yours. And what is en passant? Or did you mean to say impatient?

The number of pieces is not always relevant. My position was very precarious and with a little more finesse he could have removed many of my important pieces.
en passant = "in passing" meaning that you can take a pawn that crosses another pawn's point of attack. This can only be used by pawns on the fifth rank.
