OK, I sent the invite with a 7 day limit. If it sets up 2 games, you should let me play white since you actually challenged me. We can cancel the other one.

Ok whatever, I don't care what color I play. Lets get moving.

You only sent a 1 game invite. I accepted. If you don't want to play black for some reason delete it.

No prob. I've already moved.

I deleted it, you don't want to play black. Why I have no idea.

????? Are you all right? I said no prob and made a move. Do you wanna play or not? I'll play black if you want me too. Sheeesh

How many times do I have to say it? I don't give a damn what color I play. You showed in your game in your message you didn't like black, as if I wanted to play white. I don't care!

I never once said I didn't want to play black. But you asked me to play so you challenged me and you know that the rules say if one is challenged, one gets the first move and plays white. That's all there was to it. I have challenged you so let's play.

Ok whatever, lets get on with it. I moved.

"Avoid tunnel vision It's easy to concentrate so tightly on one crucial area of the board that you ignore important developments in others. Chess's many fast-moving pieces can appear out of nowhere, and if you're not getting a broad enough view of the action, you risk being caught napping. Work on seeing the whole board." (anon.)

And I snagged it from an article on chess. It said what I knew. I had a bad habit of letting Bishops swing in and kill me from nowhere.

Same here..I get caught out...I call them LURKING Bishops...but don't let me keep you from your game.

On this day in 1996, after three hours, world chess champion Gary Kasparov loses the first game of a six-game match against Deep Blue, an IBM computer capable of evaluating 200 million moves per second. Man was ultimately victorious over machine, however, as Kasparov bested Deep Blue in the match with three wins and two ties and took home the $400,000 prize. An estimated 6 million people worldwide followed the action on the Internet.

I did not see any of the games ...
