Actually, it's the reverse. They replaced the tumor void with my lucky pawn. Y'all are goin' down.Yeah, GB, we're not falling for the "they scooped out the chess part of my brain" ruse here.I (Tri-man) am Wally68 on Chess Time.

Not trying to make excuses in advance, but I am not as sharp as I was last year and have played maybe 1-2 games the last 6 or so months. Will do my best to defend nonetheless, but I think my peak has passed.Just remember to seed us properly.12 in so far. We will start Monday. Let’s see if we can get any more.
As in you and Zow stay the **** away from me.
(And thanks for organizing!)

Nope you’re in. Please play @Juxtatarot - he is white you are black!Too late to get in? I was at a work conference all week and just now saw this.
Yeah but it doesn’t matter. You can switch sides once the game is setWhite invites black?

Sorry - for some reason I didn’t see the notification- funny thing is I think shuke and I were already friends in the app.Maybe it’s one word?
It is really informative. It only allows you one walk through analysis per day, but if you have already used it that day, you can just hit the reset bar and forward move by move and it shows the evaluation bar. Easy to tell when you or your opponent made a mistake or blunder.I suggest we explore shifting to chess.com in the future. I've been playing turn based there and it's also a free service. The negative is that the workshop feature doesn't persist after you exit. The very nice plus is that after each game it will give you an analysis and walk you through where you made weak moves.

Can’t start until TuesdayNo sign of scoobus yet
Correct. gg!Juxtatarot defeated Psychopav
I have to laugh now looking at the analysis - https://lichess.org/7IzFyIn1#47Woz beats Sand in a well played game. We played the Caro Kann exchange variation. Both clearly knew the opening so the first ten moves or so was even. I got a material and positional advantage with a “poison pawn” type move where it appeared he had a free pawn but there was a line that allowed me to fork his bishop and knight and get the advantage after a series of exchanges. Tip: always make sure that seemingly free pawn is in fact free.
Sand, you were lamenting some of your moves in the chat but I think that was your only mistake - or, at least, that was the only time in the game where you made a move that made me feel confident that I could take an advantage. You played well.
ETA: I do want to go back later and see if there was a good way for you to stop me taking control of c5.
Gave it a look. A5 may have been a mini blunder (though it made me pause and think pretty hard to find the right response when you made it).
Not being able to do conditional moves is the worst part of Chess Time. So many "takes, takes..." pre-moves could be done to move things along.I suggest we explore shifting to chess.com in the future. I've been playing turn based there and it's also a free service.

yeah it was tough for you to recover from that fork. You played well after that. You definitely messed up my pawn structure which made it tough. good game.BlackCrowes defeats Scoobus
I blundered almost immediately, and he took full advantage.
I'm guessing we'll finish today.
