    Toby is beating me hollow - he is just enjoying toying with me to make it a slow death - I would resign but don't want to spoil his fun :)

    <laugh> I wish I was the strongest challenger, I think we're all pretty much on the same level, depending on concentration/mistakes/drunkeness...

    Yorkie is on a roll against me!!

    Leo I'm going to make sure this victory isn't my last, I think I've understood how to play you...

    (I hope so anyways!! <laugh>)

    Well if you have could you share the information with me as I have not yet worked out how I play myself - big dollops of luck have helped so far together with hoping my opponent makes a mistake before I do :)

    The pattern of your attacks are always quite similar (but pretty complex!) and I wasn't looking into possible moves far enough.

    I've also been looking at loads of the past GrandMaster games they have on the website too, don't know if it will help but we'll see :)

    H I looked at one of your games with BHD after you mentioned both finishing with kings. You played some good moves but quite a few times you didn't about the possibilities enough when your pieces are under threat. Make sure you always look at what you opponent is attacking when he has just moved!!

    Keep it up though :)

    Just beaten Toby to take a 5-4 lead, although I think myself, Toby and Norway are pretty evenly matched, and Toby will surely make it 5-5 in our next game.

    Can I claim an indirect win against Leo? It's probably as close as I'll come!

    Well played NNW <applause>

    You had me on the backfoot all game. I thought my Queen move was a good move, didn't think it through properly. Was a really good game!

    Just beaten Hornette..... it was a lively game with loads of attacking ideas :) .

    I just think you didnt quite see the final checkmate coming as you were intent on almost getting me...

    Good game <ok>

    having a game against NNW now.... NNW you like to come out with all guns blazing ! :)
