Shop for 30p. I like wearing odd things).

Wow that was great!

Mostly just exchanges though. Not much strategy involved.

Keti was waiting for the 1200 player blunder. It never happened.

It sounds so obvious but it's a fact. Avoid the silly blunders
and 2 move tricks and it's amazing what you can do at chess.

Must meet up and have some blitz and beer.

Mrs GP barred from Bells as is ½ of players who actuall play for
Bells - very very long story.

Just remember she is not technically playing at GM strength. So he kinda actually drew like a FIDE or normal master, perhaps even 2000 player.

^Dude, I am 100% sure she doesn't play at GM level when playing that all those players at time. It's obvious.

She wouldn't be able to get an equal score against other GM if she gave THEM a simul.

Just kinda hyped saying he drew a GM when she was playing in a simul.

Sure id play the 1240 player. lets see who wins?

Seeing his way of playing in this particular game I'd think I would get a draw if I'm lucky. 😕

I would hit myself If i had a draw or a loss versus anyone, including a GM.
