Two branches of play.
This is the primary branch, the one I'm interested in mainly.

Secondary branch

Slightly risky, but I'm interested to see where it goes.

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.)

Re: No probs.
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.

Gonna hafta concede.
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?

Heh.
I know about that CS bug - I get it myself every once in a while. What region are you in? I should show you a few DEagle tricks I've learned...
Win a few, lose a few...

Many nights you can get my attention via AIM, which I run on the server. My screen name is aminusfu. Or you can join my (2 person) server at www.aminus.net:27016 and yell something so I'll see it in the console. If you run TASE or something similar, my CS handle is always [::A-::] FuManChu.
