Just thought I'd show you :P

Meadows

lol, very impressive Tom.  Well done!  I hope you won't avoid me when Pete's come to Uni Tongue out

Or worse, I hope you won't beat me!

brfc

thanks :D

Meadows

Apparently no one at University is on form...  Bugger.  I have a win against an ungraded and a draw with a 140 (absolute cock-up on my part) so I'm sticking to my grade it seems.

Speaking of League chess.  Has anyone played UWE's Cedrik Hee yet?

brfc

nopes. Also, you have to have plaeyd 5 gamnes to be in the on form table!

Meadows

Ah right.  I've only got 2!  Frown

I've just seen that we play UWE on the 28th October and Pete's play them on the 2nd Nov.  Gutted for them that they're going to lose 2 in a row!

brfc

yeah!!! lol Always your optamistic self Mike! Shame we'll beat you when we play you :P

Meadows

Haha.  Humour in the face of defeat.  How brave of you!  You and me should be a pretty striking game.  Blaxsaw v bluechessmaster could be a veeery slow boring affair.  I don't know who'll be on the bottom 2 boards for us yet.

brfc

Well yes, our game shall be good! I'm still thinking what opening to play, also, are we away when we play you next, or are we home?

Meadows

I believe you're coming to the University first.  Therefore, your board 1 (whoever that is Innocent) plays as white!

Meadows

At least Pete can't get any Colle rubbish in!

brfc

we'll see!!! Still, whatever happens, Pete and I will play you and Simon!

Meadows

Whoo!  As long as it's Pete with Simon Tongue out

brfc

Tongue out you scared of a d4 hero?

Meadows

lol, good one Tom.  To be honest, I'm concerned that after a day of uni I'll fall asleep at the board facing one of Pete's dry Colles.

I'm interesting to see what novelties you bring to the game.  I could just throw a spanner in the works with something like 1. e4 c6, 1. d4 f5, 1. c4 b6 etc.

brfc

hmm, we'll see, I may have a trick up my sleeve that you wouldn't think I'd play against you!

Meadows

d4?  or just something absolutely dire like f3?

brfc

we'll see!

Meadows

I can't wait to December to find out!  Besides, if you give me a hint I might prepare something too for it, rather than just trying to avoid somehting I suspect you know Tongue out

bluechessmaster

I kinda think you may be prematurely dismissing Pete as board 1. Or maybe I may have another player in mind. Or maybe we won't come at all.  Only I know.

As  coach, captain and driver I don't think you can discount me.

hahahahahaha
