Outstanding. I wish you could have been there. It was very rewarding to see the battleship Texas and assist with the recovery of items from the Cavalla. Even more so, it was great to meet everyone.


I'll need some more time to consider my next move. I might sacrifice my bishop for your knight, or I might trade my rook for your own. Sorry for the delay. Expect my reply later tonight or tommorrow morning.

I won't give away any more. I might still be able to pull a fast one and reverse the tide of battle:D

I watched the web feed for a little while when you guys were talking with Dan, cool stuff.

I'm glad you enjoyed the webcam. We had a lot more planned for it, including some skits and stuff, but the time just wasn't there and half the time the damn thing didn't work:roll:

I'm sure you would have liked to meet Dan, he's hilarious:yep:

Are you sure you didn't mean f7 f8 or e8? :D

fatty 10-14-08 07:01 PM

Well, especially considering e8 would not have moved me out of check, I think I will stick with what I put :p

Ah, I meant d8. Why are those keys so close together?

White resigns.

I underestimated you, fatty, and it has cost me. Good game, though.:up:


Sky, I submit myself for a verbal beating because of the mistakes I made. I know that one of them was counting on fatty to make a mistake.:down:

Rebuke me, and I will slowly learn.

Skybird 10-15-08 05:20 AM

Keep on playing and avoid making the same mistakes twice - then you'll improve all by itself. ;)

fatty 10-15-08 12:45 PM

Good game my friend. I think it's okay to hope for mistakes. I had a few traps set up that way. It's just important to be careful about how much you have riding on them.

I used Chessmaster rather than my physical board to plot out the moves this time. It helps a lot for working out things 3-4 moves down the road and avoiding the dreaded blunders that I was making last time.

Anyway, baggy if you are still up to play go ahead and start a thread with your move and I will jump in.

Enjoy your game with baggy, but expect another challenge afterwards. The way I see it, we still have a tiebreaker game to decide. :D

And don't expect another attempt at easy mate from me. When we next meet , I will be as intransient as the night, as imperturbable as a mountain, and as baffling as a cryptic metaphor!:D

@ Sky- I can't promise that I won't make the same mistakes twice, or even three or four times, but I'll learn, eventually.;)
