Checkmate...

I've got a random Portugese now, and he's rampant. I'm being attacked left right and centre and it's only been five moves... Arrrrrgh

Spotty has tapped up with a lady boy. Finally this thread has got interesting.

Not sure she's a lady boy Hoss. But I think she might be offering something in exchange for my visa potential...

You might be witnessing the early moves in the first TW (divorce and then) marriage... and to think you nearly locked this thread.

In the WC, we have an endgame where Carlsen has a small edge. I expect him to torture anand for several hours until either the lad cracks and blunders, or holds out to draw. Given that Carlsen seems intent on playing positions to death, would be surprised if this ended with a draw offer soon.

And there we go.

I've just had my chips pissed on by bish. I haven't won a single fecking game since I restarted this. I'm beginning to remember now why I gave up chess. I-go is my game...

So why are you doing so well against me, dammit.

Just launched an open invite... not too sure that was wise, but Dan and Pru aren't responding and monty and Jakerbeef seem to have nodded off.

There is a time zone difference you know - you left around tea time for me! I did challenge Pru but no answer.

I know, I know...jakerbeef has awoken, but Dan and Pru are still AWOL

Jakerbeef is coming at me pretty hard. He was obviously playing possum in our first game!

He came at me hammer and tongs, but I managed to turn the tables a bit.

He plays a better game as black it seems to me. Memo to those crushing me - I'm off for a few hours now.

First thing: does Athers inhabit the chess.com universe?

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Second thing: with a mind like what he's obviously got, I'm surprised Pencilbiter ain't a chess player. Or, is he in real life somebody called Judit Polger?

[bwfcdan94]

Sounds like I have missed quite a lot.

Pru answered the bell, but I don't know about Pencilbiter and Athers - Athers may be on.

Hang on! You have a rating of over 1000. You must have won some games. Are you slaughtering random Portugese on the side?

Prufrock has just chucked the Nimzo-Indian at me. Of all Black's response to the QP opening this probably gives the best chance. Nimzowitsch once remarked: "When I am white I win because I am white; when I am black I win because I am Nimzowitsch." The Nimzo-Indian is one reason why.

Pru. You know that "most pretentious thing you've ever read" thing you did a few months back ? Are you still accepting entries ?

Monty ... wtf ???
