Right, before next time we actually need to practise.

Yes, practice. :)

I won the game I played against Darling in 34 moves. Next time maybe there needs to be a best of three system for this? Just a suggestion.

Maybe, takes a long time to play three games though; my match was best part of 2 hours. Plus we'd hope to have more people next time.

Round two draws are up, go play!

I have the unfortunate problem of not being that great at chess. :) I shall try my best though. Good luck to you also <3

Not that great?? You beat your opponent in less than half the moves of the other games.

He didn't really have any pieces left but he did resign. Just luck I suppose.

Yeah I got ridiculously trounced. I don't think I played as well the second time, all sorts of problems were had.

What's with all these resignations? That's not a fair game. :P

Will and I have come to a stalemate in our first match-up. We will play again later today. :)

Well, Will resigned on me, so I guess that means I got the bronze. Still wish we could have played the game to a more conclusive finish, but, there it is.
