I'm at work right now and that website's blocked. But I'll head there when I get home and sign up. I suck bad, though ... The little castle-thingies go diagonal, right?

Having a good time ravaging my queen there, Hooah?
​
​
I'm at work right now and can't access gameknot but I'll move when I get home.
​
Hopefully I don't end up oh-fer in this tourney. But it's fun nonetheless.
​
Good idea, Hyro.

It's hard for me to discern what "horrible" means when describing my own performance, when I have little to compare to. It's all relative, I guess. Play on!

Piltdownrook defeats Omnivorous. Twice. (see disclaimer)
Evidently I outlasted Omnivorous in our two games, and I won twice due to the games timing out after 3 days.
​
Lame.
​
Anyway, I'm sort of in a lull right now since no one seems to want to add to their slate of games at present. I'll keep trying.
​
Edited by Apothecus, : Got Ceitharnach and Omnivorous mixed up.

I won as black vs Piltdownrook
And lost 24.4 rating points xD!
​
​
Would it help if I lost faster and more decisively? Because I'm not sure how I could possibly accomplish that.
