I even missed a mate in 2 after the 9th move:
I saw Qf7, and he has to move Kd6, but for whatever reason I only considered Nb5 which isn't any good. But Ne4 is mate!

Hi...FICS Team League ? This sounds interesting. How can I join, and is there an issue with times ? I'm GMT+1 so playing against someone way outside my time zone might be hard ? How is it arranged ?
Neat game BTW....
Hi, all the details are at http://teamleague.webepronto.com. You need to add yourself to the 'interested players list' using a command something like 'tell teamleague set interested=1'. Then either try to join a team or wait until someone asks you. It's discussed on channel 101 in fics. It's currently towards the end of tournament 33 and tournament 34 should start in the next few weeks. When the fixtures are released tuesday nights you have to negotiate a time within the next week with your opponent to play. I'm the same time zone as you, it can usually be arranged sometime over the weekend.
Hi...Yes, I found this by trawling "deanmadden" of all things ( you are famous ;-) and am looking through the rules etc ( while on a conference call ). I'm probably rated same as you ( around the 860 mark for blitz, but not played enough standard yet as I'm an over-rated 1700 @ FICS ! ) I'll put my name down and see what happens. All good people 4 need anyone else ? BTW my handle at FICS is ZwaartePaard...Cheers
I think you'll probably need to have played a few standard games to join a team. Once you're registered, message twotowers, the captain. You might also want to check out www.stcbunch.net. Some of the other deanmadden's in google aren't me :)
Yes, seen that one...missed the FICS league somehow. Only been in FICS a couple of weeks, so still on blitz, but...its sad to lose on time when the position is interesting. Give me a few weeks
OK...on my way...I'd forgotten how very enjoyable standard is . Fewer mistakes than blitz !
Am now a more sensible 1485 RD 191 after 5 games. I can't remember how many games it takes to get to RD 80 or less, but in a coupl eof weeks...Thanks for the blog : its prompted me to move forward.
