Well all that has seemed to do is prolong the inevitable a bit. *sigh* I am getting a little better I guess. One step at a time.
 
My opponent quit after I took a free pawn in one game - the other one I was moving toward castling and messing everything up and he quit that too!
 
Realised that you can change the rating limits of opponents so I'm more evenly matched now, won 2 due to time but I was winning anyway. :D
 
didn't much enjoy the 960... was not chess!

I have been playing a lot of 'live' chess which I am enjoying... I find its much more like playing 'in real life'

My brain don't work quick enough for livechess - I mean I lose in correspondence chess also but I would rather lose in 30 turns than 10 turns as it is less embarrassing :D I just make too many blunders looking at the clock and end up only using a minute of my time - think I would be ok if I just slowed down and if I lose on time I lose on time.
 
I find that the correspondence chess with the analysis tool levels the playing field some what... live chess is more about 'feel' for good moves and position rather than analysis

Doubt anyone cares but I managed to do that without even realising what I was doing. :o

Is there anyway to link to the 'highlights' of the game?
 
if you go into my home -> blog, there are some options to setup games / puzzles etc so you could do that and just re-play the moves.
