Playing on here to improve my OTB play (and ECF grade). Recently I've been playing a lot of live chess so I may take a while between moves if I have a match (or two) midweek.

Conversation/banter/post-game advice etc. welcome.

Prefer to take challenges from people at similar rating (+/- 100). 7 day play preferred. Timebank essential. If you lose and want a rematch, I'll be glad to accommodate.
I take skulls reluctantly (especially if I'm not in the better position) so will try to give a few extra days before collecting, unless you've messaged me with a reason for the delay (and date you expect to be able to continue).
Speed varies, sometimes I'll play multiple moves a day, sometimes it'll be a few days between moves if I need to think (or need to find the time to think). I set up conditional moves when I can to keep the game moving.
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
Rated stats are updated within 24 hours of the last completed rated game.
