We usually play in the Yahoo games rooms, though most of our games tend to be quite late in GMT terms. I want a rematch with JFG, hopefully that'll be a little earlier, so I'll drop you a message if I manage to arrange something.

Typically, I'm on one of the days of the weekend at around 0200 GMT (I think) to play my father. It's usually Saturday, though sometimes it is Sunday. The 'other' day, I try to be on, and sometimes people (read: Strong_Bob and FullAuto) accost me and challenge me whenever I'm online during the weekdays... :blush:

 

How are us poor folks going to contact you all (you all being sir-roosio, Ivory, and Stun Grenade)? FA and Jelly are on my IM contact list.

Me and JFG, round two. Clash of the titans. Rumble in the electronic jungle. I started well, JFG made some small gains. I got overconfident, then he takes a big chunk out of me and I was on the ropes for the rest of the game, trying to hit back and defend at the same time.

JFG won, by two freaking points!

Next time....oh yes. Tiger style. :blush:

Yahoo scores by Jap style (or what might be referred to as the 'ancient' style, ha). Keep in mind that play is the same, except insofar as theory develops differently in each country (less so now due to interdependence and globalization). Congrats, JFG!

I'm still gloating. :blush:

We paved up the middle of the board like a three-lane highway, I was managing to keep his growth in check but not quite surround it for the first half of the game. Then our attention went elsewhere, but I hadn't entirely forgotten, and when I finally had breathing space I went back and took out the "big chunk".

I even wrote it down. Pretty sad, eh?

player:prisoners+territory+komi=total

FA: 18+31+8=57

JFG:27+33=60

On Sunday FA's forces and mine again skirmished on otherwise deserted fields, catching me in a bedraggled state. Luckily I managed to convince him before the match that it should be unranked and not an "official" best-of-three, before he conclusively proved he can do better on one (?!) hour of sleep than I can on six. :dead:

It was shaky at several times, for me anyway. I had a bad time keeping the initiative, and I'm sure the contest will be a lot more even when you've got some proper rest and the cocaine works it's way out of my system.
