.....we weren't playing were we :lol:

I've got my app usernames confused, sorry both of you :slol: :oops:

Curls and Hypes, you're my last two opponents. I know you were both a bit behind so just let me know when you want to play, I'm ready.

GG Cutty. Really sorry about the delay in the middle. It was telling me it was your go for ages. I was even checking the board to see if I'd missed your move, and then I got a time warning yesterday. Literally no idea what was going on...

I'm ages behind sorry.

I finally played dowbocop earlier, and just started playing Cora too. Pancake challenge me if you like. But I know you're very very good so I'll be taking my sweet time thinking it over!

Oh right yeah didn't see that Bishop, good games Cutty!

Curls and Cuttooth both beat me 2-0.

I think those are my fixtures fulfilled. Thanks for running this Tomous and thanks to everyone else for the games, I've had a really good time even though I'm not the best player!

Apologies, I've been quite slow. I'm currently playing Hypes and Blue Eyes. I've only got Cora left but I'm happy to start whenever you are.

Two more rankings from blue eyes and a third coming from Hypes When he gets round to making his next move. This is getting a bit demoralising and I wouldn’t mind the opportunity to just forfeit the rest of my games at this point. :lol:

Sorry mate. If it's any consolation you could easily have beat me in the game where you were white. You should have had my queen!

Yeah that doesn’t help, just makes me curse my inability to strategise more. I struggle with analytical strategy thanks to, apparently, ADD and this is just murderous. :lol:

Don't worry, I'm not that good. By alleans take your time, although 6 hours to consider your second move seems a bit much. :P

Sorry my internet was down yesterday so could only get on when out. How many games have we played? I'm so lost with where I am and who I'm supposed to be playing :lol:
