Round 3 is Imminent

The long standing last Round 2 game will be complete very soon. Get ready those who have advanced to Round 3 - and good luck.

For me - I am going to review that 90+ move last game - what an Epic battle. Should be fun!

100 Moves?

Will the last game of Round 2 reach 100 moves? 90 as of this moment!

The next in the Gambit series
