Thanks so much! I’m at 38 now, not counting like six of my own games I need to add. You guess have been great!

I had like 10 of my own games to submit but I forgot which ones had music….

I have 45 games already guys! They are all from my friends, but still really good! I haven’t entered them all yet because It takes awhile and I have to have review each one.

Today or tomorrow I’m going to present my rough draft (I doubt have enough games for the full draft yet) but if anyone is planning on submitting games before then you have a chance to in the next few hours.

@shru If you'd like me to remove these games and just give you screenshots, I can. But I don't understand about being nervous showing games since all games are available for view, aren't they? Anyway sorry to mess things up - my mind was elsewhere last few days, LOL!

Rapid 15/10 game today (Draw) I played white. actually I lost because of my blunder. meh
1. Category: normal Amount of sleep: 10.5 hours
2. three other previous chess games that day (including one above)
3. exercise regular (same as normal)
4. Nachos platter yum (dinner)
5. Time of day: Night 
6. no music

This is the first PGN I've done for a timed game!! I'm shocked it doesn't display the clocks! I even selected that 'time' checkbox but it still didn't display their clocks (see below please). How can I get a PGN to show the clocks running, please?

Also note our (non) use of our time available (below) and Coach Danny's funny admission that it's a "fitting end" ... rub it in, Danny, rub it in.

I love Danny! He's (I think) the funniest Coach we have (especially his MEANIE FACE!)! He shows empathy but smacks me around when I need it. wink

I’m still accepting games of anyone has them! I’m past the 50/100 mark, so piles of games would be great.

Yes, my sister and I used to play four Dailies in a day but we've slowed way down and now only get one or two done in a day. :-)

ADDED: There ARE times a Daily will run into the next day. In that case, I count the day that the majority of the game took place.
