I only play on line now that I've become an internet junkie. How strange it would seem to play a flesh, and blood human staring back at me across the board. I don't think I could stand the
pressure of having to deal with another living soul crammed up together in some room playing the game. Thank God for the internet -- or should I say thank God for Al Gore for inventing the internet.

Hehehe. Just kidding.
As a matter of fact bugs bunny and I played over the board today. I was showing him my latest opening that chewie is helping me with "The Sargossa".
I got a pawn ahead and that usually means the end for him... but I LET myself get mated on the back rank. I thought my queen had the square covered... but he had a diagnal line as well to h1 and I had no protected block from there. He didn't mate me, I resigned... but I should have seen it.
We also had sausage sandwiches with peppers and onions. Had a beer. Got beat... fixed my mower... cut the grass... all around good day.

I don't know if it's an Aussie thing, or not. But that may explain why the Australia clan has only six points. 😉
but what you say might be true. i have a mate from Bangladesh, and the only time i can beat him is when he's had a few beers😀...a few more than me, that is...
