Seen it - it’s your move now. :slight_smile:

162

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.

163

Might as well start now, I’m going to concede when the moves gets back around to me.

164

gary: do you still want to play at chess.com? i mean it seems to work for me. and we should already have each other identified over there. let me know and since you are white i am ready whenever you are.

165

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

166

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.

167

I’m having another bash at fubbleskag while I wait for round 2.

168

Okay, let’s party.

169

I accepted as well, now I can only hope I don’t get crushed.

170

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

171

I challenged you.

172

Accepted…

The game is afoot! :slight_smile:

173

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.

I’m up for friendly challenges. My username is Autolycus84.

175

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

176

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.

177

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.

178

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.

179

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

Dude, you got wtfpwned!
