Nice rating on rapid Gobi, I've only just got above 1000 - even the 2 min games seem like suicide chess to me

I'll be absolutely awful, but happy to give it a go if the time fits.

My live game is ruins, lol. I think it's the ability to check everything in correspondence games. In live you basically prioritise and discount some stuff immediately. I've kind of lost that ability ATM.

Lol. I'd probably be a non playing director if I did it.
30 mins was my main mode when I played live. I've tried to dip back in a few times but can't play. Even when I was playing decently (I think) before moving to daily games, I still generally took more time than my opponent.

Of course it's possible that my rating just got high enough for me to be playing people better than me...

We could take a look at live tournaments & how they work together & come up with a proposal for a Test Rapid tournament - say 2 or 3 rounds with 4 players couldn’t we SPR?

Hoping to end up in the middle of Div 7. All depends a wee bit on the absolutely unknown quantity that is HappyG(rr).
Still not heard from him, but all my other games are well on the way to completion (planning to offer re-match with  at the weekend when he said he'd have more time).
