  3. Donnie-
    I hope you will feel better soon!

    I already played against Tom (Rhuiden) last week and lost. Wasn’t there a price for losing all games? I swear I tried my best to win, though!!

  6. Sciurus: The prize for losing all the games was a $5 McDonald’s gift certificate! Um, congratulations, I guess. I’ll make the official announcement next week.

  7. Sciurus hasn’t played me yet, so he still hasn’t clinched the BFJZ prize. (Big Fat Juicy Zero) Jet lag chess has been erratic to say the least.

    Sciurus: I left a comment on your blog. How does Friday eveining work for you? 9:00-9;30, depending on when I get back from TDK class.

  8. Polly: yes, I left you an answer there. Well, I guess it is better to keep communications here, where we all read the comments. Sorry, this Fri does not work for me. Sun should be OK, though. Otherwise, next week Wed or Thu are good days.

    Donnie: I still have a chance not to win that price - it would be more of a punishment anyway, given the fact that I hate McDo ;-)

  9. I’m not sure about Sunday. Wednesdays and Thursdays aren’t good unless you can play during the day.

    Comment by Polly | 18 July 2008

  10. Polly- next week Mon and Tues are already booked out. I might be able to sneak in an hour of chess during work on Wed or Thu though, but I don’t know my exact schedule yet. Would Wed or Thu morning work for you?

    Comment by Sciurus | 19 July 2008

  11. Wednesday would be prferable but Thursday could work too.

    Comment by Polly | 19 July 2008

  14. Blunderprone: Sorry for the slow reply, I was on vacation all of last week and completely disconnected - no email, no internet… just perfect :) Should’ve given you a heads-up I guess. How does Wednesday or Thursday night 7 PM PST sound for you?

    Comment by Chessaholic | 21 July 2008

  15. Chessaholic, Let’s shoot for Wednesday at 10PM EST/ 7PM PST

    Comment by Blunderprone | 21 July 2008

  16. Polly-
    OK, let’s shoot for Thursday morning, I guess I can take an hour off work. Something like 10am OK with you?

    Comment by Sciurus | 22 July 2008

  17. 10 am works. I assume we’re talking eastern time?

    Comment by Polly | 23 July 2008

  18. Polly: Yes, EST. “See” you tomorrow!

    Comment by Sciurus | 23 July 2008

  19. Chessaholic? Are we on for tonight?

    Comment by Blunderprone | 23 July 2008

  20. Blunderprone: Yes, we’re on for tonight, 7 PM PST / 10 PM EST. I thought I’d confirmed that to you somewhere, but maybe I’m hallucinating :)

    Comment by Chessaholic | 23 July 2008

  21. Chessaholic, if you can start early that would be most excellent.
