Nice checkmate in that game. Quite unusual in my experience.

Is the messaging system broken? Tried to message Telika about a 5 minute break but I don't think it sent the message.

Victory is mine! Thank you Telika for giving a great challenge. Now I remember again why chess is such a great game.
I've now reached my personal goal; that is, to not get eliminated on the first round. It will be interesting to see if I can progress to finals; I don't think it's going to be easy!
Edit: Oh, and a fun fact: Not a single piece was eaten until the 12th round. I don't think that's ever happened to me before.

Also, yeah, I had tried to use the chat thingy and it didn't work (MS explorer). Sometimes the screen would forget to update a move, too, forcing me to quit the board and come back. And jpg avatars were rejected.
And I should have focused on the game more than on those things (too many little dramatic distraction mistakes, i really played like an AI with random mistakes, I hope just they weren't too frustrating for DProject).
It was a fun crazy little game.

Not at all, I really enjoyed the game and not a single move was ever an obvious one to do (until the end); your knight and that one pawn really gave me trouble until I got enough defenses up. I wonder, if the showdown in the middle of the board had gone through: would it have changed the match drastically? I know we both would've suffered lots of casualties but at some point I calculated that I would've been on the losing end. Therefor I'm glad the middle board went into a truce-like state and I could continue in stealth mode from the right side. :)
