    Don't know about that Toby - game could have gone either way for a long time - you had a great attack in the middle period -it came down to just one real error.

    Looking forward to it Norway.

    Bradley - you are in danger of being timed-out against me - only 24 hours left to make your move

    These games are good. I just am worried about the points stuff.... if you keep losing do you go down to zero?

    I don't look at the points Yorkshire - they are arbitrary - most games I have had so far have been very close - but if you get a win you get some points - with most of us not having played for years it just takes one silly mistake - which we all makle and it can change a game - I just beat Toby but for most of the game he had me running around.

    Norway - I rarely stay at the PC for long - I tend to flit back and forth so am unlikely to finish a game in one evening - that is why I play the 3 day game as it means you can go out and come back to it later

    I don't have a train of thought, not even a carriage of thought - I'm lucky if I have a seat of thought :)

    I am much too tender to get involved. The fact that I have made a comment does not signal an intention to join in. I have plenty of other things to guard.
