Sorry, I made the move on my board, but then Apolyton was slow and later I forgot to post.

Sir Ralph, did you see my posts in the original forum about the table/new group?

Yes, but I don't have much time right now. Feel free if you do. A possible game plan for six players is

1-6, 2-5, 3-4
5-1, 4-6, 2-3
1-4, 3-5, 6-2
3-1, 2-4, 5-6
1-2, 6-3, 4-5

OK Sir Ralph. I'll do that. But not right now. You see, I don't have much time too.

I'll do it in a couple of days. If you agree, I'll also change the table with the results of the first group.

I will have guests the next week and need to care about them, on top of work and my PBEM duties. So if I don't respond a day or two, don't get anxious.

Your Nokia thread is a troll, right?

Oh well, I also have a Siemens, and my wife too.

No problem Sir Ralph, I haven't finished any of my games yet.

Nokia thread is a troll, of course, but occasional trolling never hurt anyone and it's good for your health.

Deutsche Producte sind die beste in der ganzen Welt!

I used to learn Deutsch in school, but it's a bit rusty now.

My position is deteriorating steadily since 24...Be3.
You know, I thought you would play 24. Kh1 and played 24...Be3 without thinking or even looking at your move (I saw K and 1 and assumed h instead of f)

Only after your next move 25. Bf4, which would have been 25. Bf4 ?? had you moved 24. Kh1 did I see what your move truly was. But at that moment, it was already too late.

Never mind now, I still have some defensive potential left, I hope

Sorry, I was up to post a few days ago, but then got distracted by a PM. Only now realized, that I hadn't posted then.

I don't consider your position to be so bad as you make it. It has no big weaknesses, at least not more than mine.

Harovan · December 1, 2003, 04:52

Bump. So what will we do with this game? Call it a draw?

Ljube · December 13, 2003, 12:40

I am sorry for the delay in my reply, Sir Ralph. I didn't even notice our thread, because I was rarely online during the last month.

Thanks for your offer to call the game a draw. Apparently, our tournament has fallen appart, probably because of real life obligations of the participants. I accept your offer and we declare this game a draw officially. I suggest we proclaim you, Sir Ralph, winner of our tournament.
