Thanks T. I now know what humble pie tastes like.

BurnSide (Black) vs Sonofone (White)

Sonofone wins.

Good game dude. Time for round two.

Subby (white) vs Burnside (black) [winner]

Good game...you caught me be surprise very early...and I never got back into my game

Yeah that was an awesome game. I got right in there.
My second win.

Saru (White) [Wins] vs Lottie (Black)

Good game

I think the best advice I can give you after that game is not to castle too early, it gave me a chance right from the word go to position my pieces ready to checkmate your King.

Hey Saru

You really took me by surprise! Thanks for the tip hun...I will remember this for next time!

Great game even though it was very short...about 10 mins.lol!!!

Lottie, are we counting this as an actual game, even though it was intended as a practice match?

Cause, yanno, it's nearly been a month now. We'd be playing forever.

Lottie (White)[Wins] vs Subby (Black)

I WON !!!!! I WON, I WON......YIPEEEE!!!! * does a victory lap around UM*

Great game hun, never underestimate the forces of the bean!

Never give a model an even chance....

Good game....

Its a practice match...feeling the pressure hun? Anyway its your fault for not being on when I am on LOL! j/k.

Lets finish this off and have a proper tournament game. I am on form tonight so expect the unexpected...

Okay.

*phew*

^ LOL!

Woo Hoooooooooo !!!!!!

Me - black, Joc - white


I won !!!! I won !!!! I won !!!! I won !!!!!!


*does a victory lap of UM*

*faints*



Well played Joc, great game

Great game Thistle!! Tie breaker?

Same here, I honestly thought I was dead when we were stocking all those officers against that knight. Very good game, that was close. I really enjoyed it

Well played

I actually tried to move the queen down to put you in checkmate, I had not accounted for the bishop putting me in check, I think I looked at every other possible move you could have made but I still somehow missed that one.

Talon (Black) [Wins] vs Saru (White)

Also good game DieByTheFlyGuy

Diebytheflyguy (Black) vs Saru (White) [Wins]

It helps to play out every possible move on a chess board to get an idea of what to do. But don't use their Anylisis board, its terrible looking at it in 2D, but looking at a 3D board shows so much more.

I'd never really thought of doing that, I do have an old wooden chessboard somewhere I could use. Not sure i'd have the time to try that very often, but it might help to get out of a particularly tight spot.

You should try it , having a long hard look at a real board is the only reason I managed to win against yourself, Joc and Barman. Looking at a 2D board, you just miss far to much.

I just noticed the checkmate. Good game Saru, you had me running the whole time.

Joc White (wins) vs. Devious Honey Black

Sorry you were so tired sweety. Fatigue is not a friend of chess.

If you feel hurried....come back to it later.

congrats joc! We will play again...next time though I will beat you

...I just got your challenge. So we play again

Yes, we play again
Chess is a really good game
I will win once more

Thanks! (belatedly. Sorry! I've been trying to fix my car and it's been distracting me from more fun stuff.)

Anyway, I learned a lot from you! (You big meanie! )

Joc Black (wins) vs. Subby White

Good game Subby!

Yes, another good game

BurnSide (Black) vs Janiel (White)

BurnSide wins. Yeah!


Good game Janiel mate!

Finally that game ended, it got streched about 4 days too long

4 days?
I'm still playing my practice match against lottie, which started on feb 20th!

SMEG.

I just lost against Sonofone, again, and the game had just started.

I thought i could get out of that spot by moving a pawn, but it didn't work.
DAMN THAT SUCKS.

Well, gg son, sorry it was so short.


BurnSide (White) vs Sonofone (Black) [Wins]

good game burnside

Talon [white] vs Golam [black]

Talon wins




Good game Golam, I enjoyed it

Cheers Talon. Well played.

It was pretty much one way for most of the game,I was fighting a losing battle at the end.

Doesn't matter, its the enjoyment of playing that counts rather than who wins

Excellent game Saruman, I really thought that I had it in the bag, until you brought your queen into play.

Do you realise you could have mated me about 6 or 7 moves before you did?

Anyway, well played and thanks.

Well played

Once I had you in check I knew i'd be able to get there eventually, even though it was a bit long winded.

I have a couple games free, awaiting some challenges.

Darn, i didn't even see that coming at all! I thought i was doing pretty good. Oh well.

BurnSide (White) vs Thistle (Black) [Wins]

Sorry Burnsey, I have to admit I didn't even realise it was mate myself until I made the move. Well played

hahah. I love it when that happens.

Oh, i won. Sweet!

BurnSide (Black) vs dmgspycat (White) [WINS]


Man, i lost hard in that one.

You played a tough game even w/o your queen, I was nervous til the end...good game burnside!

Saru (Black) [Wins] vs Burnside (White)

Well played

Aww, i never even noticed it coming.
Good game!

I make a prediction, though it's not over.
Joc (black) {wins}
Dot (white) {dies a long slow painfull death}

Not that slow ........

I am quite pained to inform all that I have trounced the dear Dot once again....most distressing, but such is the game of life....and chess....

Good game Joc!



Brat!

Ahem, I think what Joc meant to post there was

"Good Game Dot, well played it was fun"



Let's keep a nice air of sportsmanship about this tourney shall we?

*as a person who is currently playing against Thistle, and not expecting to win, is very happy that she takes this attitude *

gollum (white) v Burnside (black)

White wins.


Good game burnsie, thanks.
