How the smeg did that happen!? haha. *dabs brow with napkin*

That was a close game Sunofone, well played.

You nearly had me in checkmate there more than once.

Any Freudians here? Just I had a dream a few nights back about D-Day. Only all the troops were pawns and tanks were rooks, it was quite strange. Think its means anything?

Absolutely. You play, WAY, to much chess.

Indeed, according to my intensive psychology studies.......it means that you are feeling intense guilt over beating someone called "Thistle". I'm afraid the only cure to is to forfeit the aforementioned games and replay them.....on Hoyle.....LIVE chess

ahhhhhhhhh ............ yeah I don't see that happening

Well ok, but when you are 90 and still having nightmares about chess pieces coming to get you............don't blame me

When I'm 90 I'll probably be senile and not remember this tournment ever happened

I however shall never forget

check again

You got my Queen.
You've been fooling me into thinking i was a better player, while all along plotting stealing my queen.

Tricksey Dot she is.


[edit] you didn't take it!?

dot moment...I took it now

And i took yours!
You so could have gotten out of that just taking my queen and keeping your own.

Erikl = Black, Me = White.

I won. Bad luck Erik, well played tho (apart from the timing out part )

I am too scared to go on RHP...Thistle is kicking my butt now...sweaty palms galore!

lmao Lottie, not to worry it's still a practice game remember

Talon [white] vs Joc [black]


Talon WINS

Neat! I still don't have any results yet. Soon!

*lottie comes running in dressed as cheerleader with pom poms* Yay hurrah!!!!!!!!!!


Ooops sorry Joc.



Okay hun Which reminds me I had better hurry up and finish off getting hammered by you.


here goes...*dives into RHP*

..

To be fair Joc, you came scarily close.

Talon [black] vs Golam [white]

Talon wins by timeout

Argh Dotty, i didn't even see my Castle was marked!

Your move

I can't believe how close this game is.

Talon [black] vs Burnside [white]

Talon wins



Good game BS you really have come a long way from our practice games

I did not see that coming at ALL. Nice Talon.


[edit]
Thanks, although still not good enough. Good game though.

I only saw it myself when you moved that Bishop and I was thinking were I should go, then you moved the knight and I thought 'bingo'.

Ahh. I thought you had the whole thing planned from the start.

Nah, I was going to try and take that wing pawn with my queen then trade a rook for the knight, then capture the bishop you'd take my knight with with my queen.

mleh, what the fudge, I'm not really interested in the tournament, but I'll have a friendly game if anyone's interesting....

Bear in mind, I havn't played chess in a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time...so don't play me if you're a good player looking for a challenge, you probably won't get one I'll make amatuerish mistakes, and probably lose by the end of things.

*goes to make account*

I'll play you if you sign up on http://www.redhotpawn.com

Me too, i'm dying to beat someone!

Hey whats going on with RHP anyway? The whole thing went red and now i can't make moves without lots of clicking and frustrated mouse banging.

Get stuffed The last thing I want is you lording it over my all day long if you beat me

Although, in fairness, I am in a position to beat you up if you did

me too!

Arggh Dee, i didn't see that coming. My poor Castles.

thanks Saru-great match-i am enjoying all the awesome competition--sweet comeback--thistle was wall on our first match but i snuck in a quick mate in the second and talon your doing great -<<corrected>>

thanks your not that bad

Talon [white] vs Sunofone [Black]

Talon wins


Good game

I think i'm doing pretty good against Sera.
Damn, she's not in the torney. I was hoping for my first ranked win.

You have missed the fun Burnside.... Sera and I are now included in the tourney...

What!? Seriously?

Sweet! So this is a torney match between you and me too?

Uh oh.

Today, BurnSide learns two things...

1) Don't start gloating before you've won

2) When someone offers a knight for free, it's a trap to get your bishop out of the way

Good game though. There were a lot of times you nearly had me

hahahahah how did that happen! You were toying with me.
Good checkmate. I didn't even see it coming, and it was right there in my face the whole time.



BurnSide (Black) vs Seraphina (White)
Sera Wins.

Well, I saw it the moment you castled. That's why I gave up so many peices to try and lure you to the far side of the board...and why my queen was sitting in that corner for 3 quaters of the game...although towards the end it was getting hairy. I did think you were going to get me before I got you.

Anyway, like I said, good game We should have a rematch sometime I'm a few moves away from winning my other active game, so I'm free for whoever else wants a shot

(not you Talon).

I think everyone plays everyone twice, as Black and as White. So we shall.
The Battle for Gen. Off Topic, is over. The Battle, for Middle UM, is about to begin!

are you feeling anxious yet Burnside?

Yup that's right, two games per matchup.

Well, since i've long been stripped of every piece i have, Dotsey, yes my palms are a little sweaty. I'm suprised i'm still going. Although i don't see the reason. haha. Just delaying the inevitable.

Arrgh, i swear i was doing well in that one. Damn you Subby!!



BurnSide (White) vs Subtemperate (Black)

Subs, wins.
