I've currently got 24 games in progress and NONE of my opponents are moving today.
What is it about Sundays on RHP?
I'd accept an open invite, but they're all silly at the moment.
I tried creating a public invite game, but the person who accepted made one move and buggered off, so I deleted the game.
The day of rest?
Make Sunday the day of chess!

Despite it being Monday (just) here if you want to send a game feel free. I'll be on for quite a while yet (insomnia).

Thanks, but considering the difference in our ratings, I suspect the game would be rather short and painful (for me).
I appreciate the offer, though.
I think I'll go get some lunch & look in again later.

I'll have you a game if you promise not to beat me.. I need to boost my ego after my recent decline in form. 😛

I've got 130 on the go and I'm in the same boat. Just goes to show really that the majority of people must play while they're at work, which is pretty astonishing really. 🙄

Yes. Since I applied that limit I have one one game. Pride comes before a fall so they say. I'll challenge you.

Funny, as soon as I decide to play a little chess, you don't seem to be making any more moves either.

Yeah, Sunday's seem to bog down here. I have 65 games going and only a few people moved. 🙁

That's why I'm currently in 13 tournaments, 3 clans and several challenge matches. 😵
