AFCWHEELS22 @Lamprokles morning
Lamprokles @afcwheels22: morning.
DonalMcC Howdy fellas
AFCWHEELS22 @DonalMcC are you who I think you are in Diana Mirza's twitch streams?
DonalMcC donalicious on twitch and Weiner on discord
AFCWHEELS22 twitch is understandable but why Weiner?
spinningcat @afcwheels22 do you know how svnteen got on?
AFCWHEELS22 @spinningcat I will have a look
spinningcat he's not on the broadcast, open section
AFCWHEELS22 @singingcat he's in the challengers event due to his grading he won yesterday
AFCWHEELS22 @spinningcat presuming the german i found is him
spinningcat haha
spinningcat they started early this morning, 9:30 i think
spinningcat prob still playing
last-of-the-Mohicans ha ha ha they stared this evening,18:00
spinningcat like they say, it's 5 o'clock somewhere
AFCWHEELS22 @spinningcat very true
spinningcat admittedly they say it as an excuse for day drinking but the point holds
spinningcat diana: "knight *theerrre*"
AFCWHEELS22 @sinningcat I think she is planning to put it on c2 that's why
spinningcat i was just joking because that's a thing she says sometimes when her opponent does that
spinningcat sinningcat is an improvement on my name
spinningcat that i just noticed
spinningcat lara's massively winning
AFCWHEELS22 @spinningcat oops sorry
AFCWHEELS22 @DianaMirza I predicted Knight g4
DonalMcC Nice time advantage now
DonalMcC Anyone know what strength her opponent is?
spinningcat 1963 fide
AFCWHEELS22 @DonalMcC hopefully she can use it it sparingly and get the win she deserved yesterday
AFCWHEELS22 @DonalMcC would you play Nc5 here as black
AFCWHEELS22 @DonalMcC ignore that it drops the knight oops
spinningcat lots of things hanging here
DonalMcC Haha yea I was looking for the compensation when you said that
DonalMcC Tapped the engine by mistake (mobile) but it's suggesting queen trade
spinningcat Kavin Venkatesan has a nice position against the fm Daly. kid is about 14, scary
AFCWHEELS22 mine is sugesting Bxe2 which protects the knight
spinningcat i don't like the time advantage going down like this (diana's game)
DonalMcC Yep, tough move though
DonalMcC Good that she has time to think
spinningcat there's a lot en pris so i suppose it's difficult to calculate
spinningcat i would have liked to have seen her play something benign and keep the advantage
spinningcat probably she wants to complicate the position to try for a win with black but i'd prefer seeing if you can get the guy in time trouble
spinningcat !so @andy_rekt
spinningcat twitch habits die hard
spinningcat whenever i think of that being a pun on the french pronunciation of indirect, i enjoy it every time
spinningcat an hour for 13 moves, like yesterday
spinningcat makes me anxious :)
bubbleboy Is Diana really a favourite against rudy in time trouble?
bubbleboy I thought he was a big bullet fan
spinningcat no she isn't
spinningcat if they're both in time trouble
bubbleboy OK, I'm not going nuts so :) still Diana has a grand position. h5 I like
spinningcat yeah a lot of other games are similarly advanced, idk could me a me problem
bubbleboy Ah the masters just like to think
spinningcat this is it
bubbleboy They understand more than I do, means they have more to think about
bubbleboy Antonina gora is doing well against oisin so far
AFCWHEELS22 is rd 3 later today
bubbleboy Yes
spinningcat yeah 4:30 i think
spinningcat or 4
spinningcat seems kind of tight haha
AFCWHEELS22 Diana's room mate drew her game very fast in 10 moves by perpetual check. Should point out her room mate was the one being checked
DanielDublin im in challengers
spinningcat @afcwheels22 sort of a grandmaster draw
spinningcat good luck danieldublin
AFCWHEELS22 @DanielDublin are you rooming with Diana?
spinningcat if rudy wins she should do a dance like diana does when she beats him on stream
spinningcat *he should
AFCWHEELS22 @spinningcat whoo is he on stream?
spinningcat kavin's winning again!
spinningcat both on very short time now
spinningcat on board 18
spinningcat monkaS as i believe the kids say
spinningcat @lessi17 two for two not bad
spinningcat this is just a time scramble now, they both played so well
spinningcat tosh is winning now, topsy turvy game
ChoszcznoWarrior Not winning now :(
spinningcat omg crazy game
spinningcat ah they've been playing on increment for a while also
spinningcat they're all paying again in an hour jeez
