I actually converted around page 198. Unfortunately, I converted to satanism.

After a little maneuvering and a bishop sack I had two connected passed pawns on his 6th rank, and he didn't have enough time to bring his overly aggressive pieces back to stop my promotion. After I won our 4th board grabbed me by the soldiers and told me I was a fucking hero. We won the match by a few points and went on to win the last round to end with a record of 5-2. What made it even better was that two of our best players weren't there, and even with them we were only hoping for a 4-3. Best weekend of my life.

This season I've saved us from a loss twice already. Both times I was the last person playing on our team. The first one was almost sheer luck, I was down by one Knight but spotted a combination through which I could get my opponents Rook, I didn't want to push my luck however and 10 moves later we agreed to a draw which secured us the 3 - 3.
The next game was 3 - 2 against us, I had to win. Luckily I had played a very aggressive game taking two of the other guys pawns in front of his King at the cost of a bishop and managed to use one of my Knights and my second Bishop to keep the King from getting away and my opponents other pieces from easily getting there. I kept up the pressure, got a third pawn, a Bishop at no cost and set him checkmate a little later. Didn't work today though, but then again, that team is undefeated in 6 games.
