Better luck next time. :)

Won another game, against rajnikant001, but not really on the board but because of other reasons. It was great one, r001!

And another one bites the dust ... :(

I'd already told Miha that we'd played once before, in his 100 game simul a few months ago. I had a different account then which I deleted shortly afterwards; after a break from chess I started this account about a month ago and was greatly looking forward to the game.

I lost our first game due to excessive indulgence in red wine one night; we'd had a wildly tangled middle game, equal on material but Miha had the edge and I'm sure he would have won, even if I hadn't decided I was still in a fit state to think after sharing a few bottles of wine with friends ... ;)

Anyway, my motivation was extremely high for this second game; I'd enjoyed his playing style immensely and was determined to at least achieve a draw. The game developed in a similar fashion; complicated, with battles being fought on three fronts at the same time. After a wobbly opening we reached the middle game, and I was fairly sure that the chances were about even. And then I went on holiday, to a tiny island in the North Sea with very irregular internet connections. After 2 days I got a connection and tried to go into vacation mode, but of course I had to make my move, which I did on a windy beach, and it was a bad one ... That's not meant to be an excuse, Miha would probably have finished me off in the endgame anyway - anyway, thanks for the 2nd chance, it was a great game for me while it lasted, and good luck for the rest!

For what it's worth, here's the game:

I will post my thought on the game when I manage to get to a computer. I'm sure I was worse at some point when your K-side attack started. :) Thank you for the game!

I finished some more games now, any more left?

MSC157

It's over. :)

I think you're playing too many games. Just as me, btw.

And just an explanation: Katt seems to be a norwegian word for cat (according to Google Translate). Why I've chosen cat - no idea. :)

BTW Why Norwegian? (Incidentally, it's the same spelling in Swedish, and one 't' less for Danish IIRC.)

MSC157

Only 50 left. :D

That's interesting chrka, didn't know that! :) What's IIRC?

MSC157

Final result: (+9-0=1). I drew the first game. :) Thanks for participating.

I still have one simul in progress since the last game is very long.
