English Chess Forum

Is it me or does the forum die at weekends, but is very active during the week when people are supposed to be at work?

Its a 4NCL weekend this weekend and we are chess players so active players go to congresses, and in some cases they have a life. I don't though

That maybe so, but Hotels have internet access, and most people have at least one laptop with internet capabilities these days...

I'm just trying to get at the fact that it seems to be most active when people are supposedly at work - are we all slackers or something?

I know I "Ride" the forum far too much. I currently putting together a proposal for the parcel haulier. I do it day and night, but like I said I run 3 companies, and this massive project, ts a lot for anyone. Proving that I really do not have a life. E.G.: the day after my marriage a few weeks ago in was helping at a chess event in York, I even got married there so I could be there. Thats how bad I am.

That's not not having a life, that's dedication for you.

I must admit though when I've been away at congresses I just wind down on a night and try not to think about forums or my RHP chess pages.

I don't want to fall out with anyone on the forum and it is upsetting me a lot.
Everyone is equal
ALL LIVES MATTER

Simon,
There is nothing that you have said that would upset 99.9% of people and I have enjoyed your contribution to the forum. I hope that says all that needs saying.

How did you find this old thread? just curious.

Hi Matt,

'All Threads Matter.'

And all threads are equal

But, to complete the triptych, some threads are more equal than others. Kindly leave the stage.

I believe you intend 'triptych' though the use here seems rather imprecise. A little learning is a dangerous thing.
