We should play some team matches or something while we wait for Team Canada to have another tourney. Our group's name is too clever to let sit gathering dust.
For personal reasons, I'm going to have to quit the group and leave Chess.com for a while. Sorry everyone. I was hoping to be able to get back after a short time off but it's not going to happen. OTOH I hope to get back later in the year. Sorry about this. Best of luck to everyone.
Welcome Mike. Enjoy the tournament. Folks, I think I may have reached my level of incompetence!. I had a hard time against Bobbycejes (one win one loss) but you might have to carry me in round 5! @:-)---o
Greywolf, congratulations on your wins in round 2. Your decision to castle on the queenside in your game as white gave you a great advantage in the centre in the middle game. Well done!
All right. I'm off to a reunion with all my flower-siblings who graduated with me in Scotland in the 1960s. If I can find a Wi-Fi in the Highlands and I'm not stoned or smashed I'll play a few moves before I get back.
(Only kidding..... @:-)---o)
