![]() sorry for the long absence. I'm handing in my thesis next Tuesday :-/ In fact I wonder what White will do after Be6? Giulio |

![]() 38. Rxb7 And black is finished. Of course 37. . Qxf6 fails because of 38. Bg5 So I am looking at Re6, trying to figure out what happens then. Harry, This is mostly for fun, so if you are tired of it or not having fun, it's OK with me if you want to terminate the game. Nobody is personally invested in this. |

![]() first is the inevitable defeat is almost here but considering we started with a very poor position at best , although i think we were lost from the start, and to all our teams credit we did the best with what we had. second reason is i have been reading team shamash postings and i came into this thinking it would be a learning exercise for us all, however if you read there comments its all about how wonderful shamash and his team are and how rubbish we are, which to be honest has really annoyed me. so i say give it up, anyone else agree with this i would be interested to know. And thank you blueshrimper for your captaincy. And please in the next game lets start with an even position. alan (aljaru) |

![]() I'm ok with your decision. I find it pity that the other team gloated over our misery, I suppose Shamash is an excellent opponent for everybody and he said at the beginning White would win hands down. It is a true shame they do so. I am sorry for the lack of reliability I have shown. It's a tough time for me, believe me. I found in you an open and encouraging team, thank you. Have fun, Giulio |
