OK. I think we're all friends again now.
To save me the hassle of footling around, could all participants email me at
andy@runningcommentary.net so that I can send 'em a coveted invitation to join the chess tournament please?
Let me warn/reassure you -- this is the most laid-back chess tournie you'll ever be involved in.
-- One move every 10 days minimum.
-- Endless opportunities for, ahem, sledging during games, using the in-built messaging functionality
-- Please feel free to be a useless chess player. Unless you're Australian, we Brits fervently believe in the axiom that it's the taking part that matters. Let's leave the ghastly vulgarity of words like "defeat" and (even worse) "victory" to our less sophisticated, rustic, Antipodean cousins.
Look forward to hearing from y'all
Andy
