Assorted N.P. Team News

I scored two against Bighorn in the "rematch" match. One legit win (time out in a position where I had the advantage), and then a cheesy 0 move timeout. But it scores the same. ;)
 
I'll admit I'm getting tired of waiting for my opponents to make a move.
 
Sorry guys, I was swamped with coursework in the past week or so and made rather un-thought-out moves in my team games, and when I looked up, I was down a piece in each. :blush:

Both games feel pointless now, but there are still pieces on the board and I can hope for a swindle, even though I hate playing like that, especially in correspondence...
 
Advice from the Inexperienced: Chat with your opponent, even if it's just about the weather. It might offer just enough of a distraction to lead to an error.

(it works on me, at least! ;))
 
Yeah, I think our chatting about playing a game in real time helped me to lose focus. I can't wait for this tournament that I've organized to get started. Does anyone from here want an invite? Hurry and tell me (with your chess.com nick) to get invited before 12 am March 1st, when the tourney officially starts.
 
I'm starting to get through my games and am up for some more

:hammer:
 
I'm colinf on chess.com

I got bashed in the sicilian tournament :(
 
I'm doing unexpectedly great in that tournament. 6 for 6 so far out of 10. I didn't have as highly rated opponents as you did of course.
 
Invitation sent! So far, 4/50 registered, with 1 day and 7 hours to go!
What's the format? I'm keeping the number of active games low. Or just send an invite and I'll take a look. :)
 
Format is 5(1) -> 2. Currently we have 5/50 players registered. ~ 21 hours remaining if you want an invite! ;) I was hoping for at least 10, so that 3 trophies could be awarded.
 
Once I return from my Semester in Europe I will be able to join tournaments to support N.P.

While I am not very good at this point, I can feel myself improving.
 
I noticed that one of my groups (Team Western Canada) challenged this group to a vote chess match.
 
This looks like the safest spot to mention: I'm on holidays from chess, as I have to deal with some RL events so I can get my concentration back for chess. Hope you all understand! ;)
