I'll challenge you (I am probably far too weak, but let's give it a try).

Yup indeed we do. Havent seen Akots around lately though.

Queens move is a nice site that makes it easy to play and stores all your games.

And I was a mod for the chess forum too !! Well, I'm still that, but there ain't much activity there these days. :D

Can't remember if you were 2200+ ELO someday, col (is it just akots ?), but I may want to play chess once in a while. Will check that site.

At my best I played around 2200 - but its a long long time ago and I'd be happy to play at 1900 - 2000 these days.

So there is this CFC chess tourney starting very soon, and we'll use col's site. col and I are playing with 26 other guys/girls, I think we're the only 2 guys from CDZ, since akots declined the invitation. [blush2]

I think you somehow fumbled the opening. I am not that experienced in opening books, but from my view your opening was too passive, even for black. If you like, you can challenge me back with the white pieces on your side this time.

No - the Pirc defence is an opening I play a lot. It is a good opening to play for a win as black since its based on counterattacking. I did mess things up somewhat and got a weak pawn structure - but your play was very accurate in converting the advantage to a win.

In fact, we are 3 from CDZ, there's also Darth_Pugwash (mainly in the Hattrick sections of these woods).

The first part of the competition ended tonight for me, and I got a nice 5 victories out of 6 games. [thumbsup] This ensures I'll get to the second round, where battles will be bloody. I don't expect to get further than that, but I can dream... :D

In any case, I recommend that QueenAlice site, it's a comfy and relaxed place to play chess. grs also beat me in a friendly, but I hope to take my revenge soon. Currently playing Ginger_Ale who signed up too. :)

Anytime, just challenge me back. It maybe was only one move near the end that made the win for me.

We're four from CDZ, if you count lil ol me :D (who col had very little trouble with in the opening round). [slap]
