When looking at your standard play record, why would anyone mention lichess when you've only played blitz and bullet on there?Charlie Storey wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 12:21 pmPerhaps you shold try Lichess seeing as that's where everyone plays for the past year....very sloppy research from someone I once had respect for.

Re: Sniper Available for Hire in 4 NCL
I generally eat most GMs for breakfast I had a look in ChessBase and could only see 4 wins against GMs in standard play games, and a large number of losses. Whilst this may be an incomplete record of your games, it seemed typical to me of what I'd expect of a player rated 2200 - 2300. How many GMs ...

Not unless there was more than one event with the same name. I played in a Battle of Britain tournament in 1979.

Re: British Online Chess Championships 18th December 2020 to 3rd January 2021
The current version of the tournament regulations has different entry deadlines depending on the event, the earliest of which is 7 pm on 15 December. No: the entry deadline for the Seniors shown in that link is yesterday, as Tim said: British Championship – Senior Qualifier Entry Deadline 1900 on F...

Re: British Online Chess Championships 18th December 2020 to 3rd January 2021
When I entered the website said the closing date for the Championships (including seniors) was 7pm yesterday (Friday 11 December). But at 1054 am today I received a circular email from Andrew Walker which says: "Entries are still open for the various Championships qualifiers, Major Open and Rating ...

Re: Fritz, Chessbase and the rest
As a database, there are free options. Chessbase seems to remain the standard, but is extortionate. You can find older Chessbase versions on discount. Got Chessbase pro 13 on Steam for around £17. In your situation I would be tempted to buy ChessBase 9 secondhand (currently £12.75 + £1.40 postage o...

Re: What's GM short doing?!
And some people are being executed for the charge of spying for Israel intelligence Musad. So the two countries ARE at war. I don't think spying constitutes being at war. It's normal activity to try to gain economic and political advantage. For example, the USA spying on Germany and Germany spying ...

Re: F1 Drivers and Race Tracks
I prefer the Nürburgring but it fell out of favour post 1985. I have competed at Donnington, Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Goodwood and Thruxton and have held an FIA International B licence granted by the RAC MSA. :D Having only raced at one circuit I don't feel qualified to comment on the merits of d...
