IAG, give Mach a Brock Landers style curb stomping :laugh

I’m thinking we’re probably about the same level maybe. Mostly the 10 minute deal throws me off. I may get used to that, but I think 15 or 20 minutes is more my speed. Then again if it’s too long, my mind starts to wander and I lose track of the game.

 

 

Embarrassingly, i fell into the three or four move checkmate this morning. I forget the name of that but it wasn’t pretty. Been decades since that has happened.

 

I’ve never been great but was always pretty good for my age. Of course that was when I was 12.

I think when you don't play regularly, short time controls throw you off your game.

 

I think I am not much better currently than when I was 12.

Oh I am also, but so is the competition. There aren’t that many kids playing chess in elementary school....at least in my day....girls anyway.

 

How often do you play Slim?

Was getting crushed last game. Turned it around after the guy messed up and lost his queen. Had him on the ropes and looked down and only had 25 sec left. I hate that damn clock. I need at least 15 minutes. Not to mention once I didn’t realize it was my turn, and lost a minute waiting around.
