Saru Posted February 23, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Thought i'd start this thread for any discussions relating to practice matches, as there are quite a few going on right now. I'm finding that it's quite handy to have a few practice games first because until recently i hadn't played chess for a long time, and I think that's the case with quite a few of the other particpants aswell.

BurnSide Posted February 23, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Well, so far i've had three games, two are ongoing (i'm getting slaughtered by Thistle!) and i lost hopelessly against Talon. It's been years since i played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnSide Posted February 23, 2005 #19 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Well, i figured there was no way i was saving the rook, so at least i could get my castle out while you were occupied, and take the the Rook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnSide Posted February 23, 2005 #25 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Sorry for the resign Saru. I felt my play was getting a little embarrasing. So, that's three out of three practice games sucessfully lost, i think i'm ready for the real thing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
