In the following game, Sean had the white pieces and answered the Sicilian dragon with a bind. By move 13, the game was equal though white had a slight positional advantage. Sean, however, threw a piece away and risked getting pawn forked with moves 14-16, and the game quickly became black's as counter play in the center cleared space for a counter attack.

Sean should have won this game. He, for making a mistake once every several hundred games, is the paragon of gentlemanly conduct and can outdrink me. He also has something (besides money) that I don't have, that being the respect of... well, people in general. I look forward to more games with him, as I can only pray he does not spend ten minutes one day learning defenses to the king's gambit, after which any advantage I would have had would be completely and utterly lost.
just to be clear, that was written by sean...if it wasn't self-evident.
Also...who respects sean?
