Play here?

I always win!:

Hey Sam, welcome aboard. Looks like Nothingess' tourney filled-up but you should be able to get some games by checking 'waiting games' . . .or just sending me a random invite. :)

Thad: Answering the question how long should an espionage game take:

Small Fast is generally done in under 60 moves. Usually well under (95% of the time at least one of the players knows who will win within 30 moves), though about 2% of my games go 100 moves. 113 moves was the longest of mine.

Open Fast is generally done in under 70 moves. I don't think I've ever had a game go 100 moves. Open Fast games often remain in doubt a bit longer but generally resolve very quickly because of the extra moves.

The games with obstacles can go much longer . . . I think I once heard of a 300+ move game.

I am generally a patient player, so my wins tend a bit to the long side.

I see he's playing tenuki, my old Dark Chess buddy from IYT.

I'll be curious to see those games when they are over.

Nothingness:

Who could jonaron possibly be locked in a fierce battle with? :)

Now I have to go check.

Mousetrap- Thank you.

Mark- I am trying to go two months with-out a time-out.

Nothingness - I see your tournament is filling up. I mentioned it to jonaron today. I also asked Tony Gardner about a possible comeback but he doesn't see it happening in the near future.

i mention only in case anyone cares. :)
