Looks like the "Speed Kings I" tournament promises to be a very exciting semifinals...

Far too exciting if you ask me, and I'm sure that my compadres will agree. Links to the games are as follows:
Solitude vs Jakkals
Jakkals vs Solitude
tallfred vs Sloth
Sloth vs tallfred

Please don't comment on the games in this forum though. We need to make our own mistakes...

Has anyone else noticed the epic battle between Terrier and muerte in Epic Deep Thought I? After three hard-fought games they are at it again in a fourth game to decide who will make it to the next round...

 

[yotta]

Yeah, that is a serious battle they've got going there. I see the winner plays you TallFred.

I need somebody to play against tomorrow. I used to be very good for my age, but that was a lil shy of 20 years ago. Actually I nearly got provincial colours.

Welcome to you too, Simon. I cannot put in time for a whole game in one session, but feel free to challenge me to a standard game.

I got a "voluntary" severance package yesterday.

The news is that I have gotten a new job. The transition has turned into a natural career move for me. The last few weeks have not been easy as I have really had to live out the message of the post: find opportunity in adversity.

Be careful of the advice you give others. You might find out that that you need it yourself.

Great game yotta! Totally outplayed me, I just couldn't ever get the upper hand. You were always one step ahead.

Sure thing, Markface (SnapcaseZA). Not so sure I outplayed you completely... it was one of those exciting games where one wrong move could make the game flip either way.

Yeah, but you were always one step ahead. I was waiting for the wrong move but it just never came. Haha
