JulesR May 2022 9:27am, 1 May 2022 28,264 posts	Quote Pin JulesR Of course you can Turkhish - Sign up for the Uckfield match now and I’ll lock out registration when we have 8 in our lineup (we have 6 now).
JulesR May 2022 8:22pm, 2 May 2022 28,266 posts	Quote Pin JulesR That’s it, we’re locked and loaded for the Uckfield match, no more spaces. The match should start automatically when they have 8 players - they were waiting to see our rating strength before they fill their boards.

larkim May 2022 10:21am, 3 May 2022 17,768 posts	Quote Pin larkim Really enjoyed those matches Gobi, and I'm as surprised as you that I managed to lock out my usual inconsistency (compared to playing daily matches against others). Sorry I've depleted some of your elo in the process. The first couple of matches went the way my games often do with some ok play and then big blunders, but the final four I managed to keep the blunders at bay and I definitely gained some good insights into how to look ahead better. I'd lose in rapid every day of the week though as my instincts are quite poor; I needed to think through some positions quite carefully to avoid the usual easy losses. As I said I'm the chat, I've got a low elo because I'm new to the game on chess.com (and haven't really played chess since school days or against my kids) and I've learned a tonne recently. I'm still completely lost when trying to fathom out how to mount an attack when the board is full of pieces though. The matches were a great distraction from work too!!! Thanks for playing me.

larkim May 2022 11:24am, 3 May 2022 17,771 posts	Quote Pin larkim Well, I just take it as my finest hour I suspect it's all downhill from here... You just have to look through some of my other defeats to see the inconsistency I've played with. And to be fair there were a couple of mistakes that helped me out - e.g. in the last game, you ended up trapping the rook on the B rank and I'd been nervous about you being able to maintain both rooks up to that point. I'll take the kudos for having played well, but I still think you were unlucky to find me playing some of my best games.
