    I don't know if there is any justice to be had, but I lost 2 games to Tapirus, who's closed, and Heatman, who had 2 games going against him, but has taken an incredibly long time in all his games, is shown as winning his 2 games with Tapirus. This  is very frustrating as I have played to 2 honest wins, and Heatman Herb, has not finished a single game, but is ahead of me.

    WHY NOT THE 1400'S I THINK I COULD HOLD MY OWN AGAINST LESS THAN 1800 AS I FINISHED 3RD IN MY GROUP BUT HAD WEAKEST GRADE I HAV 1 MATCH 2 FINISH AS BLACK  & HAVE 3 POINTS SO FAR AGAINST STRONGER OPPOSITION SO I WON'T B PROGRESSING

    My game against joego is a very good example of: how not to play the Kings' gambit ... I thought I knew it, thanks Joego I learned some new tricks. However, after analyse I see that I missed Nf2 at the right moment and the position was correct for white althought it seems vers shaky.

    Three days is the maximum time between moves, but of course you may move much more quickly.
