Very much subscribe to the 2am in Romford town centre school of chess, ie car keys in yer fist and go in swinging

Cool edited

It's going off, up to the dizzy heights of 18.

Who's joejolyon?

I’ve been playing on chess.com a bit over the last few days. If anyone fancies a game then feel free to send me an invitation. Username: joejolyon

Also live in Romford but very rarely caught with car keys in hand at 2am...

Hi!

cool, welcome

👌

Gonna challenge you just to see that excellent name in my archive

I've added you all as friends. I'll then unfriend you once you soundly beat me.

got hustled by @doubleodavey , lured me in yesterday, chewed me up and spat me out today in a 4-0 5min chess drumming.

Just sent a request to join. I'm Benni Blaustino

I can’t find the LFGSS club on my iOS app menu. Could someone describe or show via screenshot where it is?

https://www.chess.com/club/lfgss-nerds-division

I have the link. I’m a member of the club. But I can’t find the club in my app. How do you navigate to the club in the app?

Connect, then Clubs? thats desktop though

I don't think you can. I've been using the invite message from the tournament, and that opens a web browser.

I'm using android, fwiw

Thanks. Seems like it’s a browser only thing.

Yep browser only

Good second game, 1-1 seems a fair result. Wonder how tiebreaks happen if it comes down to it

Yeah well played, lot of tension in the middle of the board until it all cracked.

Tried looking that up and it sounded a bit complicated, and not sure what it says applies given its our first tournament.

Also can’t figure out how to view the tournament and the other games in the app.

been playing the chess.com computer, it's nice to have that function that tells you if it was a good or bad move after you play it, re assuring or panic inducing in equal measures
reached my level against an 1100 rated automaton, intermediate emir i can beat at 1000, sven at 1100 is about 5-1 up against me

Hmm looks a bit unfair. It’s given me an extra tiebreak point. I’m not sure, but when you beat me we hadn’t played any games yet, whereas when I beat you you were previously above me in the mini league hence it counts my win as better.

I think that’s what it’s done.. not sure. But either way doesn’t make sense

Not sure either. Maybe it will even out or if not then so be it

having finally won a game I'm over confident and ripe for a thrashing

Im fighting for my life in the tournament games, seems the forum has some good players.
