Re: finally

Sorry, Omni - I've been on the computer plenty over the last couple of days but I totally forgot about our game somehow. I'm starting to suspect that the first game flattered me somewhat! If you do fancy another, perhaps with a slightly longer time limit to reflect my atrocious memory for these kind of things, that'd be great.

Tusko, I sent you a new challenge just before I read this post. If you like, cancel it and send me one back with a 7 day move limit. I don't mind the extra time at all.

My play is all over the map. In some games--and in some parts of some games--I play as well as I ever did years ago, which was at USCF Expert level. In others, I make conspicuous blunders and throw away pieces.

Consistency seems to be the hobgoblin I'm hunting.

P.S. I've canceled the challenge and sent one with a 7-day move limit.

About those three days...

Psst, Rat...you don't HAVE to wait three days to make your move: it's an option.

Re: About those three days...

That's okay, Rat--you win on time. Good luck in the next round.

I've been on the road a lot over the past month--we did 3200 miles in two weeks--and I finally couldn't get to the PC in time.
