    Well played Jints. Yes I blundered but you put me away very competently.

    Thanks, having made so many blunders myself I think I was owed one! You defended a difficult position very tenaciously I thought

    My worst blunder in the tournament so far, just handed my queen over to Talal throwing away a decent position.

    Actually winced when I saw it. Not over yet but if I go on to win that's both games that I didn't deserve.

    Well done QBCQBC, I got a little too passive in that one.

    Champion elect again although Talal ran you close this time.

    I have being assessing the power at my disposal as tournament director. I think I might be able to force the first two moves of every match to be pawn to King 4 followed by the response of pawn to King 4. As an inexperienced player I hate all these other strange openings that people have been using. Would I be abusing my power? Are people going to accuse me of belonging to the Metropolitan Elite?

    I'd be happy if you started a tournament with that stipulation. At the moment, I'm playing in a match where every game started 1 c4.

    Thanks. My blunders against you in our first were calamitous, but well done for keeping probing for an opening.

    Its a very good web site, I have been a member for years. I could not get on with Chess.com, not sure why but hated it.

    Thanks for that Mike, I agree with you about Chess.com, I only joined it, to play in the CL tournaments, I play on Chessworld which I like, but will give gameknot a try

    Not sure what there’s not to like, Mike?

    The website layout is better than the others mentioned and it’s pretty straightforward in its options and how to play?

    Do any sites apart from gameknot come for free, and allow an instant game to a finish against a live player?

    Is there a good app to download that would be useful for playing online against oppents of our choosing?

    It is quite apparent that Seth plum maybe a rather experienced player/ worthy challenge.

    Fancy a game?

    Yes.
    It is the logistics.
    You have to go to gameknot and sign up as somebody I suppose, it's been years since I did that.
    I think they have various games so you then suss out the chess bit.
    Then you do start game.
    real time chess.
    then create seek
    For us to play each other in a live game we (I think) would both have to be online, seeking, and cancel games with other random players until we meet (shouldn't take long to get connected that way).
    There may be ways to find other players but I have never searched for anybody, just play whoever randomly turns up usually.
    my player name on gameknot is
    pink_fairy
