*edit yet again*

OK, thats my resignation.

What a horrible cock-up that was at the end.

Good game.

Thanks for playing in this experiment, Letum. ;) After c3, any further resistance indeed was completely futile. But you could have hoped for snookers and thus carrying on a bit, just to see if Lance really can exploit the breach?! After Qc6 and "It will work" I intended to let him play alone for a while, to let him show what it was that he thought would work... :lol:

Care for a real game Sky?

You and me? Sure. Rules as usual, in case of doubt or conflict standard correspondence chess rules. Books and literature are allowed. Computer assistance is not. Start a thread, I'm ready when you are.

Yes, good game to you as well. I look forward to seeing the match between you and Sky!

No, I live by understanding Letum. I think it was you who said " show me how you play and I'll tell you who you are"

Admittedly, I probably couldn't have done it without help from you, Porphy and the rest of Team Subsim, but I have learned a little and I intend to apply what I have learned.

Thank you for your help. And thanks to Letum for the match.

I sincerely hope for a Letum vs. Skybird match. It would be good fun, and I would learn more about the art of chess.

Not to mention by my grace on page 5 (or6?).

Here is an idea...
How about me and Sky post or PM why we are making each move in the match
somewhere where we can easily avoid reading each others motives.

It will make the match much, much more intresting and informative for UnderseaLcpl,
and any other spectators. Of course we would have to trust each other not to read
each other's motives and ask no one to suggest moves, point out mistakes etc.

Three threads.

One "CHESS", where we just give the moves, and occasional position diagrams.

One "SECRETS LETUM", where Letum writes his thoughts and plans and hopes and fears, that I shall not visit before the match is over.

One "SECRETS SKYBIRD", that Letum shall not visit and where I explain my thoughts.

A bit tricky to keep track for observers, though.

So we post our moves twice. Once uncommented in the CHESS thread, and once with comments in the SECRETS threads.

Maybe a third person copies them together in a fourth thread. :lol:

And Neal has a fifth thread telling us what he thinks of all that posting madness! :rotfl:

I like the idea!:yep: I still have a lot to learn, and being able to watch you two play would help. The commentary would be even better:D

And yes, you are right that I also lived by your grace. :oops:


Thanks again to both of you and to Porphy, and to the rest of Team Subsim for helping me out, despite how boneheaded I was at times:88)

Well, quite.
But if it is all OK with Neal, is it ok with you?

We need a sixth one, for feedback. http://www.smileygarden.de/smilie/Hu...epfend_009.gif

Ready when you are. :lol:

We'll get sentenced for chain-posting over this :rotfl:

Give me a few days. A lot on my plate at the moment.
