Oh ok ....well, I be available to play 830am, Seattle time, its 716am right now. Is that cool?

 

[Vannak]

I'm in the game whenever you start. If I'm there - I'll move too lol

 

[Vannak]

I'll come back on in about an hour then.

I totally blundered trying to finish something else up, didn't realize how fast 10 minutes was. GG

 

[thahappycamper]

gg. We should play once a day to sharpen our skills.

 

[Vannak]

I guess, I'll have to focus on our games next time we play. You play well.

You are a strong player, I would love to play you more often. One game a day is perfect for my schedule. Is this possible on your end? Yeah you blunder the rook....

Thanks but I am a poor chess player, to be honest. But bring your A-game when you play me, arrgg...BTW, the game was recording while we were playing. I am posting the video for hamster, hope you don't mind.

Your opening needs a bit of work.

 

[Vannak]

I think my h pawn might have let me ink out something even after the early game blunder.

I found that book you mentioned, "Reassess your Chess," on ebay for 5 dollars, I plan on purchasing a copy of it sooner or later.

 

[Vannak]

Haha, yea it's a good book. Just send me a challenge if you want to play more. I'm free for another 30 minutes today.

Definitely, I had to calm my nerves a bit also. I'm a passive player when it comes to openings, it works quite well for me half the time. I would have lost if you played your A-game, I'm sure of it. I won on a blunder, which I don't like.

I was hoping for a blunder!

Haha yea, you started 4 minutes early so I wasn't quite finished with my other chess game on fics.
