The Way I Like To Lose

I lose many games, most of the times I don’t fell upset by it... This is a two minutes game.
I like fast chess because there are many oversight, many blunders in that kind of games.
This is the way I like to lose because it involves a rook sacrifice, change by a bishop. I thing it’s a fair game and I can’t do much better in this game. This game take place at playchess.com

Draw With a Challenge

I play this game with black and the end was a draw. I offer draw, the opponent accept it. I thing is a fair game
When I analyze the game, I found that I play bad…. In the move 36 Qc6. I have a good opportunity to win the game, well to have some kind of advantage.
If you play over my game try to find the right move.

Blind Queen

I play this game a couple of year's and the result was victory for me. I call it Blind Queen
It was played at playchess.com, and as a rated game of 6 minutes + 0 seconds.
I think that this person don’t expect to lose and I wasn’t expecting to win against a much stronger opponent, 500 points stronger
The game begins and around move 30 I was expecting lose the game I had 1.57 minutes left (white) he had 2.31 minutes (Black). The game was in favour of black.
At move 37 he was blind with the possibility to make a second queen. I was just wont to give him a check. Time left was 1.08 minutes for white, 2:02 minutes for black
Well when I give him a check I had 1.01 minutes left (white) he had 1.36 minutes left (black)
But seems that I achieve a beautiful mate and he achieve two queens. The game end’s with 42 seconds lef for white and 48 second left for black.
Well at the end he doesn’t ask me for another game and I don’t ask him if he likes to play another. I just had my lucky victory and that was enough.

Just want to say that I playing at:

Why I call me in internet "Scala"?

My Username is "Scala" is in honor of my city Santarém…

Of the various legends related to the foundation of Santarém, the most famous tells of the Visigoth Saint Iria (or Irene), who was supposedly martyred in Tomar (Nabantia) and whose uncorrupted body reached Santarém. In her honour, the name of the town (then known by its Latin name Scalabis) would later be changed to Sancta Irene, from which Santarém would eventually be derived.

So Scala came from Scalabis…

Thats my "nick" story!!1
