I came by to see the latest in comments and a quote of mine came up in the title banner! I3rucewayne is so right this tournament is soooo cool.

BTW Mascot, since reading your inspirational workout tips in the Forum I’ve dropped down to 7.3 percent body fat.

The HGH and Imamanostrol had nothing to do with it! Well maybe a little, but it’s mostly Mascot motivation, I tell you!

Hmm, well I’m not too experienced with king side attacks although I have done them more often lately, so I guess I prematurely assume that a lack of checkmate = failed attack. Guess I still have much to learn. This tournament is so cool:-)

@bruce: As Donnie said your kingside attack did succeed in that I wasted time defending. Though I think not trading your knight off when I had the chance hurt the most. The backward c pawn gave you a new target to work on.

@donnie: Thanks for the kind words. I probably shoulda waited another day since all my warm up blitz games before hand indicated that I was going to play like crap. (I got mated by a 900 when I was up the exchange and a pawn. It may be my Wacky Wednesday entry for next week. LOL)

@Tact: Do they make HBGH? (Human Brain Growth Hormone)

@l3rucewayne: Hold on a minute; let me wrap my brain around that.

@Polly: LOL. Too bad you were sick, but kudos for at least trying it. It was weird–watching the game from the outside, it seemed I could see the moment where things fell apart. Part of that may just be perception, though.

@l3rucewayne 2: But your Kingside attack did succeed! It wasn’t a checkmate knock-out blow, but you won 2 Pawns and a more active position.

@Tacticus: Who do you think people are going to believe, you or Andy Pettite?

Donnie – I have NEVER injected HGH. How dare you besmirch my good name. I will testify to Congress under oath and sue you for libel.

I had an unfair advantage what with the cold and all, but I still couldn’t get my king side attack to work out. I’m glad I got to play you before you got well:-) but of course I’m not glad you got ill in the first place. I hate being ill, I think I got ill something like 6 times this past year, definitely don’t envy you. I hope you get well soon.

Your right of course, but that is just the Batman you read about. When I’m not fighting crime I like to spend time on my computer pretending to be some guy who is pretending to be me.

@chessloser: You can still lord it over those of us who still have 0 points.

@Wahrheit: I fully anticipate someone making a social faux pas eventually, leading to bad blood. Probably not this time around, but during the next one when it’s likely people I don’t really know will be entering…

@Allen: Now which perfection, 9-0 or 0-9? Or both? In any case, the prize donation will be most appreciated.

@Tacticus: Accusations of you videotaping your opponents’ opening preparation have been floating around. Just so you’re aware.

@l3rucewayne: The Batman would never say “Please don’t hurt me.” What are you thinking?

@Tom: Giving chessloser the reason for his name back.

And your Tennessee Vols are looking good in both men’s and women’s basketball. You’re the only reason in the world why I’d be happy about that (my ex was a Gator)

@Polly: Hahaha. Well, you have two games this week for the tourney, giving you double the chance! Don’t know why that came out that a lottery ad.

Okay boys! The queen is back from Spain, and ready to smack some guys silly over the board. Gimme a day to recoup from my jet lag. Read this post and you’ll see why:
