There is a leaderboard. It can be found in the forum “useful links” in the Bulldog Chess Club. There is also a champion, who I believe is vickalan is right now.
You want to be White in the rematch?

Too bad for the blunder. I was interested to see if HTP can make the flank attack work (attack from behind). Sometimes they can be used for great effect, but other times they are defended easily, creating lost ply, leading to a weakness in the central battle area.

Great to see both HTP and Bad_Dobby will play again. I'll start a thread for the next game tomorrow.happy.png
