I'll invite you for a game when the current round's done :)

Me and Chula's game is interesting. Perhaps we can share it and talk/post about some moves when we're done.

Btw if I'm sitting down and playing a game from start to finish, I also prefer 10 minute games.

I still like the casualness of this correspondence chess, though.

Pretty hard to do with the internet and members in different time zones.

i already don't like my position in our game GB.
Time to get a bit reckless.

to anyone what's your rating on chess.com (if you've played at least 50 games on a single time setting)

Mine is at 1469 now, but don't you start around there as new? I accidentally started a game with someone yesterday and just quit and I think rank dropped a bit. I don't care.

Don't worry. I'll probably fuck up soon  :laughing:

i think with very commonly played games like 15/10 they start you at 800 and with less played games the start you at 1500. It doesn't get ironed out until after several games.

I'm low 1200s in rapid but I don't play very often in that time setting these days. It's mostly been slower daily games (usually 1 at a time) for the last year or so if at all, and I'm starting to approach 1500 in daily rating.
I'm terrible at blitz, not to mention bullet so I've never been over 1000 in either of those


Could see the writing on the wall early - and you're too good to mess up that superior position.

I'll sit the next one out.
Hey, is there a way for me to observe the next game from the sidelines???

Just sent you a friend request. You play white.
My record here is already 0-1.  :laughing:

Here's our game:

Check out this #chess game: donbelanger vs toretorden - https://www.chess.com/daily/game/463743651

My game in the end was basically going for an attack / check on the pawn at A3 and/or the pawn at h4 to get my own h7 across.

I got some play out of most of my pieces here, so this was s good match for me (imo) even if the computer analysis says I made some mistakes.

My game with Gd isn't looking nearly ss good. I didn't wanna play the same position, so ended up doing something weird instead  :laughing:
