Yeh Nuth had me from the first move. I used to be good too, knew all the opening gambits and the pressure points, but now its like I am a baby. Keen for more games though :)

Can you guys finish off a game in a day? Or is it going over multiple days? I might get a game or two in if it's before I travel.

PigLick and I just played one today.
You can play as fast as you like.

Actually SubjEff has beaten me easily twice already:rolleyes:
Time for some new gambits. Cmon people get amongst it!

I'm tempted to get the low or mid tier premium membership when I get paid. If / when I do, I'll set up a TTLG group.
SubJeff, that last game was the first in my new spate of games (been playing again for around a month) where I actually felt like I had any kind of idea what I was doing, but I lost it around the time you made that play where you sacrificed your knight in exchange for cutting my line in half with your bishop. I also used to be pretty good, but seem to have lost a LOT. My game with Nuth is progressing in a way that can't fun for Nuth. I feel like I'm playing up a 45-degree incline.
I will improve. I'm determined to be at least as good as I was.

Playing against you and PigLick feels like a game.
Playing Nuth is like some frustrating battle with physical reality I cannot win! I feel like I'm wrestling with the sea, or the weather!

Al_B - I accepted your friend request. Will start a game with you once one of the 4 I'm playing is over. :)
SubJeff - Yeah, I get that very same feel.

It's been ages since I played chess but I did enjoy it when playing against people rather than just the computer so feel free to send me a game request - I'm VERY rusty so expect some easy matches. I think I've added others in this thread but username is TwoCubedSquared if others want to join in as well.

Ha ha. Spot on!
I've issued some new challenges.
Please upload some avatar images so I we can tell who each other is without having to wrestle with that gadawful interface.
