Omni's quite the clever player. I've been forked by his knight in our single game more than I've ever forked anyone in all my playing! I just had a look at your game, and the first thing that struck me was that I didn't think I'd ever see anyone open with f3 before. I went and looked it up on wikipedia, and thought you might be interested in their assessment:

You should really say Scotch, instead of Scots.
They love it. The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Phat is toying with me... I feel like a mouse who is being stalked by the cat...the cat knows it can take the mouse out, but wants to have some fun first.

Future opponents, don't let caffeine fool you--he's a sharp cookie. Win or lose, I'll have had a lot of rust knocked off by our game. Well, it was going okay up till the inevitable moment of idiocy. I hate that sinking feeling that suddenly hits you just as your finger's clicking submit, but too late to reverse the action. I thought the point of correspondence chess was that you have enough time to think and not lose pieces just because you've forgotten about a bishop! Oh well - mine and Jon's game is here.

Ouch.
I'd offer my sympathies, but they'd be crocodilian. Hardly decisive, though. I've always thought the bishop is undervalued vis-a-vis the rook--especially when it means breaking up a bishop pair."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

Since I am just a few moves away from being checkmated by Omnivorous (but too stubborn to resign), I've challenged fearandloathing to a game.
Am I right that there's just five of us playing? If so, once Omni's finished me off, I guess the scores will be: Omnivorous: 2Phat: 0 fearandloathing: 0 Jon: -1 caffeine: -1
