This is a good match. It looks like a dam thats about to break.
I wonder if sky's last move was the first crack.:hmm:

clive bradbury · 09-06-08, 09:49 PM

14. h2-h4

14...g5-g4

Don't see much other choice for me here - everything else is too risky.

Skybird · 09-07-08, 07:16 PM

yours 14.g5-g4

mine 15. Nf3-h2 (obviously)

Thought about Ng5, but shied away from the analysis of that. Let'S play it save. I see myself as having an advantage here, but it is too early to say I'm already through.

Hope you had good holidays.

15....Qe8-f8

Sorry, I always seem to be missing lately - I am working away from tomorrow onwards until friday, so this might be may last move for a while - unless I squeeze a couple more in later this evening.

it's okay, we do not need to rush the match in just seven days. i take as much time as I need, too - and I really do not wish to sit over the analysis board all day long.

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.
