Sorry, Its too late for the tournament but I`m up for a game.

i am storeboughthair on there dude. GL to you and homebrewcider and everyone else for that matter

No Worries, i'll keep an eye out for the next one

Yep. Glad to have got you as my first game.

Play copacetic!

Nimzo Copacetic is my style dude

First loss to @doubleodavey who got me with a sneaky Dutch variant, stole my queen and then squeezed me relentlessly

2nd loss against jb000 . got smashed.

good game - my productivity at work has taken a bit of a hit this morning....

Mine too.

we have the reverse fixture to play this afternoon....

I find it annoying that once you play your move the board disappears. Is there a way around this?

Settings > Daily Chess > After Moving: Stay on this game

I have to say it felt v good after I have had a series of losses since returning to chess. I`m suddenly v nervous for the return fixture!

If there's more space in the nerd's club, can i join? I'm shit at chess.

second defeat to DoubleO. My entire attack strategy was based on him not taking my knight. Which he did. I was done my move 15 but strung it out for a while. I'd have resigned earlier in real life I think.

There is! I think you can join here: https://www.chess.com/club/lfgss-nerds-division

I just lost to Jonny in a game I really enjoyed.

well done! i feel like i should have done better with my advantage in pieces but you never gave me time to make an escape route

fuck. no way I can progress now. we might need a LFGSS 2nd division

Good game. It's made me realise the wee horsies are very important pieces.

yeah really good game that. your marauding pawns were big trouble

I have had very entertaining games so far.
I normally play 5 min blitz games, so the opportunity to make your move and think about it before clicking the tick has been amazing

Same here, I play 10 minute games, and think I went into my first game with the same approach which didn’t work.

I thoroughly enjoyed all 4 of my losses. That's me done for this tournament.

I'll be up for some games tomorrow during the day though.
