Ah, I must say. I still do see the resemblance to Brian from Family Guy, less so in appearance than mannerisms and personality traits.

Does the 29 mean anything? You have that in both your chess.com username and Skype screen name.

Thanks to Jason for the interesting games, we had some very tight contests that boiled down to end-game technique under severe time pressure!

Is anyone playing tonight? I am up for a few blitz games.

Instead of Nxg6, Nxd7 wins. That clears the way for Bxg6, which wins nearly on the spot.

If we only have four players, we could do a quad with each player facing all other competitors twice.

Okay, 4pm EST is good for me. How many rounds are we thinking?

Earlier in the day would be better for me, I am very busy with work after around 6pm EST.

I understand we want to hold a memorial for our friend, Guy Burkett and I fully support that. However, I have to wonder: is there any flexibility at all for the April 12th date? If not, I probably will still play, but I may be very distracted by calls and emails, so I hope the time control is somewhat long.

I would really like to play on Sunday, but Sunday night is the busiest time of the week for me and my business is in peak season. The Coronavirus crisis actually helped more than hurt us.

Sunday, the 12th? What time? What's the format of the tournament? Time controls?

The time control sounds good to me, but I'd prefer to play at 9 rather than 8, or better yet, even 10. The later, the better, as I have a lot of work in the early evening.
