Oh good, I'm still on 2 days here. Sorry I've been busy, will move tomorrow.

Naviary

No rush, this is just a slow casual game... (You're moving way faster than me anyway)

captaintugwash

I'll admit I haven't even made an analysis board yet, a mixture of being busy and lazy. Will probably need to do that soon. For now...

How refreshing that it's not me who's pushing it to three days! I thought it must be on me...

Not a time warning, just a bump, take as much time as you need.

Naviary

I'm just stretching the time interval between my moves because I don't want all my time to be absorbed playing so much infinite chess. It takes a lot to mod the NEISG too. This game I'm analyzing on average about an hour each move before I finally am sure of my decision. I shall move today.

captaintugwash

You're analysing a lot more than me at this time. I'm still in opening mode!

Once I start analysing, I tend to take between half an hour and an hour per visit.

My bump was in case you forgot, I really don't mind if you take a few more days. I know you're modding that insane game and that's going to take up a lot of your time.

Naviary

I don't like to rely on openings. I like to analyze each move, even in the beginning, I play what I feel is strongest in each game, that's why my openings vary so much. Also, I vary my opening based on what I expect my opponent to play.

It's interesting to see just how different our openings are and it will be cool to see who's is actually stronger...

8. H(-1,-3)
