Chess

I'm a bit slow in my games today, apologies, been on errands & at work

Yeah, sorry I've been slow. Busy day at work etc.

Also just worked out the ratings thing. Mine does not look good.

My rating has gone from 1200 down to 719. Perhaps it is just finding the natural level.

Mashton kicked my arse. Well played 👏

Well, I wouldn't put it like that....

I'm really enjoying this tournament malarkey. Thanks for getting it together.

Lovely game - https://youtu.be/58FdYo5tbNs

How's the tournament going?

I have a quiet day ahead - mooch3r if anyone fancies a game

Fancy some blitz games later? I've been playing a lot of 3 minute each games lately. Win rate is much higher... which I think implies that I'm making the same (not great) moves as I would even when I have more time to think about them.

I’m in. Novice level but keen.

Does anyone else play their chess.com games out on a board at home? I find it works very well for 24h games where you can spend some time with your next move.

definitely. i will need to speed up massively as i often run out of time on 10 minute games. will do some practice now.

Anyone fancy a 10 min game now? Nanny McPhee isn't really floating my boat.

Doubleodavey on chess.com

Definitely up for a few games over the next few weeks - I've requested to join the group.

Can you see your groups in the iOS app? I could only see it on web.

Who is blackhorsey? Do we let him in?

Tis I.

Welcome

Would be good if everyone entered their lufguss username as their first name (if it’s not obvious) as it will then show up on the profiles.

0-3 doubleodavey - greeno

Good games!

Welcome dude

hmm a generous scoreline for me i'd say.

I'm trying to see if we can do a ladder but I can't see the option.

A club ladder or league would be good
