A little Antipodean chess diversion
Friday, March 4th, 2011Do you know Wino Sapien? A doctor from Perth with excess intelligence and wit and more wine expertise than me. You should read his blog.
I’ve been getting to know him a little too well. We may both be deep into mid life crises, since we agreed to play postal chess. No, not internet, nor even email chess. Postal. SNAIL MAIL! The game has been going for nigh on 6 months and this is the rather paltry progress made in some varation of Queen’s gambit declined, that I don’t understand.
Slow, I know, but outrageous fun in an English eccentric sort of way.
Black to move – will you offer him any help? Maybe he has already posted. Such is the speed of 1970’s technology. If you want to laugh along, I dare say Ed might keep you up to date occasionally as well. If you are into Chess I advise you to look away or be horrified. You have been warned.
Normal wine service will be resumed soon…
Stumble It!
