Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
HalfPawn: SmirfEngine was rated 2253, and GrimReaper was rated 2241!
Well indeed, not to be the number one might be something not easy to bear. But as SMIRF already has experienced, there also is a life beyond being the leader of the pack, even without reinventing a rating scheme to one's taste.
