I just became a member at GameKnot.
**Maserschmidt** , I’ll wait for you to finish your game but you can tell me if you want to start now.

Sure, I also challenged a few other dopers for non-tourney matches, so look out for **bedgyro** , folks.

What about **my** skills, there’s still some time to go yet for me to make a major blunder. We just seem to have the exact opposite time schedule. I was hoping for a few more moves the other night.

I beat **peeker** in the “official” round two match, and no, you don’t want to see it.

Well, my game with Maser is over. If anyone want to review the game film and help me improve with anything beyond don’t drink and play I’d love the help.

Just now saw this thread for the first time. I’m guessing it’s too late to join the tourney?

I have seen it. Only word of advice to **peeker** is “don’t drop three pieces without a fight”, it’s hard to get anywhere if you do.

Well, darn, the GameKnot server is timing out, We are stuck in a knotty ending game and the server crashes… We should finish this soon though.

Well, a few more moves at this rate and I am looking to resign. Barring a major screw-up by Ed, next round should start tomorrow or the day after.

Scratch that last post; I resigned now. I was down 3 pieces and had no offense. It’s over. GG.
