Our man malko has drawn first Spartan blood!  His opponent resigned.

Yes, I thought Spartans weren't allowed to resign.

A fantastic result, Malko!

The bad news is, as you fought through to the bitter end while your opponent resigned, I'm afraid we're going to have to let you join the Spartans in a SWAP for your opponent. 

And now, malko checkmates his opponent to tie up the match!

(However, I can't see anything to criticise on the second game - looks like classical sequences of moves to me). Superb!

Were winning 3.5-2.5 i drew AlexCn, then he resigned! R+R+B I was gonna win, so.....

Congrats, aabbccdd.

I wish I had good news to report about my match.

You're only 2 points behind, richard; you've reached move #37; the sun's shining; you're contributing to a great group! How much good news can you handle?

 ROTFL!!   That's hilarious!!
