    I'd like to keep the pace relatively crisp, but if it's too tight, we'll adjust. It's not as though chess tournies are renowned for their speed.

    This seems like a good site- it supports both offline (taking turns) and online (live) play.

    Ichi and I are in the middle of a real bloodbath for our first game. I think he probably has it won though.

    EDIT: I resigned, Ichi wins.

    Obviously, group B is the group of death! And I'll have to face Caius first, too!
    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.
