I think I am 2 and 2, although it's a lot tougher that I would have thought !

How is the timebank going to work ? Will that carry through the rounds ? 60 days is a lot for a single game....

I have already made my usual list of entries for "worst move of the year", not bad for January !

Resolution for 2005:

I MUST SLOW DOWN AND PAY MORE ATTENTION

I MUST SLOW DOWN AND PAY MORE ATTENTION

I MUST SLOW DOWN AND PAY MORE ATTENTION

I MUST SLOW DOWN AND PAY MORE ATTENTION

Two wins so far. I won't get out of my group, but I'd like to cause as much damage as I can, and improve my ranking in the process.

This game, though, I was quite surprised with. I wasn't even looking for a checkmate on the f2 square, but it was handed to me on a silver platter...Game 871325

hey track .. tell us ... was ironman in control before that 'glitch'?
can we say ironman is undefeated?

I'm losing all mine, but then I kind of expected it, lost my enthusiasm for chess at the moment, finding concentrating too difficult.

That wasnt in a game against ironman, my beating as black from ironman is my own fault but thats in clan league game and in the other game things are pretty much still even. The game I was refering to was against a 1300 player in the 2005 championship but he has since gone down big and I already won the game so no harm no foul. I actually figured out it was problems on my side my broswer was loading the page before I was ready. It happened again in a game with exy though this time I highly doubt I will be able to mount a come back, can get a draw at best. The only true glitch was the inability to castle in that set piece tournament.

I'm like 12-0 now. Have all my games won except 2 in which I'm in control but victory isnt obvious yet.

I'm now 6-3.. meaning..little hope to move on.. its rare for the top guys to lose to the lower players.. and I doubt timeout will be a factor, but.. still fun.
