The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free.
But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient.
Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead.
Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?
Made it to Wembley in the test cup AKA the semi finals. Two wins against Goofee. One hard, despite an error on move 11 to hand me a minor piece, the second a quick mate as Goofee must have lost concentration on a couple of moves.
Re the Angus vs Medals, while playing Surelynot, we discussed that a book opening tournament for sub 800 players would be a good way of learning openings.
In my games against runners, in my black game, I'm given my first check which should lead to a few more and a queen for rook swap, just got to make sure my queen doesn't get trapped in the chicken coop! Can't see a mate unfortunately but will have a bit of time to look in case I'm missing one as I don't expect him to move again today. In my game as white, I feel like I'm behind positionally so might be fighting to stay even without a mistake.
Indeed SPR, a couple of lapses in concentration, something I really need to address!
Just seen your message about forcing a draw, yes, I was thinking more about advancing a pawn but probably should have been more realistic. In truth I was enjoying playing almost instantly for a change so didn't take the time to think about the position objectively. Ver enjoyable though, thanks for the games!
No need to apologise, AC; I've learnt more from that game than from all the others put together. I can see where I went wrong and can look to avoid it in future. All my other games involve moving pieces and hoping for the best.
