It's a bit confusing because when you first hit play it starts a game against some random. Always just ignore that game which will time out in about 15 seconds, then click "play a friend" and challenge whoever you want to play.
I'm busy challenging Plum but am told he's busy playing a game.

R x N was my blunder. Should have just retreated the bishop but I seriously underestimated you. It's only when you started defending everything correctly that I realized I was playing a stronger player. I won't attack so vigo rously next time!

And then maybe also slightly longer games after we get these t20s out the way?

You sneaky shit ...
Good to have strong players like you on here ... I want my revenge ... so let's get it on ... bozo!!
No doubt Denny's been watching ... probably breathing a huge sigh of relief that he never faced you ... the self proclaimed chess genius finds himself up against it ... best to duck for cover again, huh ...lol!!
Any way look forward to many matches against you guys ...
ps ... still finding myself ahead against most blits opponents ... only to lose on time ... frustrating ...

Ja, i dunno what's up with Denny.
Honestly i'm a bit dissapointed as we've always had a good relationship and never so much as a hint of bad blood despite disagreeing quite a few times.
Rooi, my highest rating was in the 900s. Played very little online and only against people on very rare occasions. Used to buy electronic chess games and play them at work since there was not much else to do.
Anyway, those timed games are god aweful. Maybe to soon to judge but fuck me my heart was actually racing. I calculated that an average 50 move game would give me 12 seconds per move in a 10 minute match. It would give me a 20% margin since the real average is about 40 moves. That will remain my strategy going forward if we persist with these second crunching bouts haha. IE take it to 60 moves and i'm gonna lose :/
Still i t's not normal to feel ones heart racing during a chess match. It's the bloody opposite of normal.
I'm up for round two on the weekend if you guys are available?

Plum, I'd play you but not in the short format of the game . The longer normal format rules are very good in that you only have to make 1 move within 3 days. One other thing, you will have to register on Redhotpawn.com
Let me know once you've registered and then we can mutually agree on the amount of games to be played.

Have to say these chess geeks are a laugh a minute!
Congrats to Plum on showing the oaks how to play the game as i thought he would..
Wee cc has been cut down to size it seems - about two feet!.
Dense wants to play a game where you have three days for a move! "The longer normal format rules are very good in that you only have to make 1 move within 3 days" . Upgrade your computer to a faster machine and get better chess software dense. Hahhahaahahhahahahaha
Ou rooitwit making a lot of noise but folding against real opposition from Plum. His wins over poor cc cant count for much one would think.
Anyhow far be it for me to discourage the chess geeks. Keep up the good work oaks!

Hi Rooi
Is tomorrow afternoon alright?
Meant to be on today but got roped into family activities.
Also, can we make it 30 mins a game? Or would that be unfair since you and CC played tw o 10mins against each other?

Plum, tomorrow afternoon is good for me.
No, we've played 5 out of 6 games in this mini-tournament with 10 minute time control. Let's finish it in the same format and if you want a 30 minute game afterwards then I'll try but I also have a few family commitments so I can't promise.
Let's tentatively say 14h00 tomorrow and let me know if you can't make that otherwise I'll see you then on chess.com.
Revenge!
PS Well done Spurs! 92nd minute winner!
