New No probs.
It's not like we're playing a timed game... ^_^

tick... tock... tick... tock...

(One of the guys in the chess club, during our "speed chess" games - 5 minutes each - would start saying "tick tick tick" repeatedly if we ever stopped to think about our moves. A most infuriating individual, especially since he was 1900+ rated.)

Heh heh.

I once played a postal game that lasted almost 3 years. Something like 70 or 80 moves, sent via postcards, about a week a move....


I'd probably get strange looks nowdays if I went into a post office and ordered 100 blank postcards. They'd probably think I was going to spray Anthrax on them or something.

Now that the CS clan is picking up in speed; it's taking all my free time.

Not that you weren't going to win anyway ;) You're many grades above me in skill, and I totally forgot all the reasons why I made that last move.

Sorry. But a win is a win, no?
