Well, if I did this prize fight style, in order of score, I'd play faetal then SubjEff when you guys are done with your bout... though you both seem to have backlogs.
My backlog is slow. Yakoob and my other friend are taking it slow. Lets go for it.
Meh, you're putting up a good fight here faetal. I'm far from confident. (I just find smack talk funny, I give it even when I'm losing)

I'm getting better, but I still feel chaotic and most of my moves against you are reactive rather than proactive.
[EDIT] Ok, contrary to what I said about trying to keep 4 game son the go, I am now playing 6 :/

Well, I just won my second ever chess.com game (the one linked above), putting my score back above a thousand, which for some reason, I was treating a shame threshold.
The guy beat me once before, so I'm doing best of three.
Your second game against that guy was so much better than your first, it looked like a different person playing him. Congrats on the win.

Thanks :)
That second game was right after I read through those links you posted.

Finish our game!
Finish me off :.(

Sorry, gf called.
I had no idea I could pull that back. O_O
SubJeff on 26/6/2013 at 19:01
I was on the back foot really early on actually. I rallied twice but at the end I wasted my time on your king side.
You just get thrown by my willing exchanges that disrupt your defences. Deal with them better (eg by not panicking, like they first time you moved your Queen, which was totally unnecessary) and you'll find me much easier to handle.

NUTH CALLS IT'S UP TO YOU NOW ONLY YOU CAN SAVE US

Thanks for the tips. I've definitely improved from my first few games, but feel like I've hit a rate slowdown in improvement.
Next up, I think I may take Dema's advice and do some reading.
[EDIT] Re your latest challenge - would you mind if I let a couple of the other games I'm playing finish up? Having 5 on the go at once is making my head spin a little.
SubJeff on 26/6/2013 at 19:31
No probs. I thought you considered best 2/3 as a "round" so thought you might want to take me down again. Or not :p
