    Any within group games are "fair game." Good summary posted earlier. Afraid I'm a bit distracted with work now to be as assiduous as it deserves. Also frustrated at the slow pace of finding/engaging my group opponents.

    Yeah. Twas a hassle. After game 1 and the beginning of game 2 happened within 2 days, it took around 10 days before we met each other online again... Tedious, yes, but better than having the 'chess clock'
