Clive,
I just wanted to make sure you noticed my reference to our second match in the other thread (The Fall of Europe).
Quote:
BTW, I always thought that you abandoned the second chess match of ours, and right now I wanted to pull your leg by asking for your next move. But now I checked back the old thread, and to my surprise I see that it is me whose last move is missing. However, in my old protocol, I have entered one. Has the forum software made my reply to you disappearing, maybe during a lag when sending it (lags haunt me on this forum quite frequently, and more than just a few postings went lost that way)? Want to continue? 
However, I apologize, since the fault seems to have been on my side, I just found out. I had no intention to abandon the match in silence and just leave you behind. Somehow the story just - disappeared from my mind.

If you do not wish to play on after half a year, then that is understandable. Since it has been my fault, obviously, we of course score this match then as 1 point for you and 0 points for me, giving our double match a final score of 1:1, in conformity with international rules for correspondence chess if one side exceeds preset (or in our case: reasonable) time limits.
I just don't know how this could have happened to me. Altzheimer, maybe.
