Sorry about the slowness, tudwell. I've been very busy throughout this month, and haven't really had any time for the Internet at all. Indeed, I got within a few hours of timing out on a couple of (non-EvC) Gameknot games, something I've never done in the year or so I've been playing there.
The irony of this is that the tournament game I'm playing with truthlover is an excellent one, and I'm sure that if we had coincided over a period when both were visiting the GKnot regularly, for example, over a 48 hour period, it would have been quickly finished.
It shouldn't be too long. It's in the state at the moment where if either of us puts a foot wrong, the other's got him in checkmate. I love knife-edge games like that, and I hope truthlover's enjoying it as much as I am on the rare occasions I find the time to do so!
I think it's Anglagard I really should be apologizing to, as he's due to play the winner. He'll have experienced the same slowness on my part in a practise game we're playing which has gone on for weeks (also a good one) so he won't be surprised.
