Talon Posted February 28, 2005 #58 Share Posted February 28, 2005 (edited) Not at all. I was actually really really scared. I'm so glad I managed take the queen. It changes everything. Seriously though, you had quite a few moves where you would have disimated me had you pressed down the upon the King with your Queen more. You'll be a really strong player with a few more games under your belt Edited February 28, 2005 by Talon S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfstone810 Posted February 28, 2005 #59 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Thanks. Gosh, he's making me cry and being nice at the same time! I've only ever played one other player, years ago, and he ALWAYS won. I found out later where he'd learned to play. In prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfstone810 Posted February 28, 2005 #61 Share Posted February 28, 2005 BTW, just for the record, the only reason I knew an ex-con was because I was working with him. It was kind of funny, actually. The place I worked had a strict rule about not hiring anyone who'd been convicted of a felony, but he lied and by the time they found out they'd promoted him to manager. Well, gosh, sure there was a rule, but they were GOOD judges of character, weren't they? And after all, he'd paid his debt to society, hadn't he? So they decided to make an exception, just this once. Then one day he left to take a deposit to the bank and the next anyone heard of him was when the police caught him up in Detroit about three months later. Talon has almost finished anhilating me. I'm learning a lot from him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted February 28, 2005 #62 Share Posted February 28, 2005 (edited) I had the opposite experience. We hired a guy, he later quit, and then a year later was arrested for murder. Talon has almost finished anhilating me. I'm learning a lot from him, though. Ah, but the bright side is your forcing me to take almost all your peices just to get a pin on your king. The longer a match goeson and more peices taken on both sides shows how closed players are in skill. A true anhilation would have been a checkmate in 7 moves after only 4 peices had been taken off the board. You've done really well. I will say this though, next time, make more use with your Queen, its the strongest peice but you never moved it. Edited February 28, 2005 by Talon S.

Saru Posted February 28, 2005 Author #63 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Any chance of a practice match Talon when you get a spare game slot on RHP ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarman Posted February 28, 2005 #64 Share Posted February 28, 2005 (edited) To Talon, Thanks for offering a game, but at the moment I'm playing SaRuMaN, Thistle and Lottie and getting beat by all three, by all accounts I've heard you're a bit good so if it's ok I'll decline while I try and remember tactics I once knew years ago, rather than humiliate myself once more... thebarman Edited February 28, 2005 by thebarman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted February 28, 2005 #65 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Any chance of a practice match Talon when you get a spare game slot on RHP ? Sure, at the mo I'm playing Lottie, Golum, Elfstone, ElvisHendrx0, Joc and a freind from Glasgow, so I'll challenge you to a practice when I finish one. P.S. Lottie its your turn *poke, poke* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted March 1, 2005 #66 Share Posted March 1, 2005 K, Saru I cleared a space and challenged you Sorry I deleted our game ElvisHendrx0, but you haven't moved in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfstone810 Posted March 1, 2005 #67 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Arrrgghhh! Is RHP down again? It let me on, but when I tried to move it froze up and wouldn't give me anything but a "page cannot be displayed" message! (Sorry, Saruman! It wouldn't even let me see the game against you!)

thebarman Posted March 2, 2005 #69 Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) Think SaRuMaN might be a little annoyed at me, our practice game has been going on a while now and it's blatently obvious he's going to win due to my shocking lack of pieces left on the board but I just keep running....

Saru Posted March 2, 2005 Author #74 Share Posted March 2, 2005 *lol* I wouldn't worry, i'm very likely to mess this up at any moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted March 2, 2005 #75 Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) Thats what I thinking though. (EDIT: about myself) No matter who wins, its likely going to be tight Edited March 2, 2005 by Talon S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
