KevLamb Good evening everyone. Some worrying news: Mike Henbury 'Ewokmike' has been admitted to Hospital with breathing problems.
KevLamb His wife Joyce says that the COVID test is negative, which is something.

robsims2811 hello Maha
djc202 Very glad that the COVID test is negative, Kev. Pleas send our best to Joyce and Joseph.
robsims2811 so Mike are you playing from your hospital bed??
djc202 Wow, Kev. Two seconds each ... that was hairy indeed!
KevLamb Will do. Well done David, good game.
djc202 Yes, Kev. Great fun. You probably deserved it.
KevLamb We were both berserk.
johnkooner sorry don
johnkooner u should won
djc202 Thanks for the game, Steve.
djc202 It was a bit wild, which is what sometimes happens in the King's Gambit.
djc202 Usually, I am on the receiving end of that sort of treatment!
PatrickPavey thnks maha
mahachandar GG Patrick!
robsims2811 Thanks Rose
mahachandar what happend? my game has gone?
mahachandar Are we still in the 1st round ?
KevLamb Hi Maha, it's the Arena, so no rounds.
mahachandar ok I was paired with Rose and suddenly the sfrozencreen has
djc202 Oops, Rob! No queen left!
KevLamb Well done Phil!
CFCC-Phil gg
robsims2811 cheers Dave
djc202 Oh dear, Rob. There was me thinking that I might get double berserk points! ...
djc202 Well played, I know that bottle of Barolo would bring the chickens home to roost before too long ...
djc202 You're the one on fire now, Rob! Go for it. You have clear air in front of you!
djc202 Looks like Phil has gone berserk twice in succession, so watch out everyone!
djc202 Did you have a nice holiday, Steve and Rose? No hurry to answer - you're both busy playing.
PatrickPavey phew! rose, nearly out of time
mahachandar thanks Phil
CFCC-Phil thanks Maha
djc202 Thanks, John. Hairy game, especially with the time issue.
robsims2811 sorry Keven!!
KevLamb Well done Rob! A close game, every second counted.
SamMurphy1 Well played Phil.
CFCC-Phil tnx
djc202 Thanks, Rose. Sorry about that. Quite a brutal finish. You play well earlier on and put me under pressure.
CFCC-Phil gg Sam
SamMurphy1 Thanks Phil, I might have given myself a chance in our 1st game, if I hadn't given pieces away.
PatrickPavey well done the top 3 ! obviously going beserk is the way to go in this type of tournament
CFCC-Phil tnx all
djc202 Wow, what an intense tournament. I am so pleased to see so many of us going berserk ... it makes for thrilling chess!
djc202 Well done, Phil and Rob - superbly sporting chess.
CFCC-Phil thought id try it, wasnt expecting to win much tho
PatrickPavey i make enough blunders normally without beserking!
CFCC-Phil thanks Kev
djc202 How come you went 'non-berserk' in the last round, Phil? Tactical, perhaps? I guess that you had the gold medal sewn up by then.
robsims2811 Thanks Don
PatrickPavey thanks kev, hope to join in on thursday
CFCC-Phil ye just playing for a draw in last game as i was ahead in points
robsims2811 I didnt go berserk maybe i should have done so!
mahachandar gg John
KevLamb Thanks Steve, fun game.
KevLamb Congratulations Phil! Thanks everyone, hope you all enjoyed it.
CFCC-Phil Kev how do u use the analyse game feature? cant seem to find it anywhere?
robsims2811 How do you manage to maintain a conversation Dave whilst playing this ? I havent got time to type! Cant multitask clearly
SteveSaunders Thanks Kev I mucked it up again. Yes we had a great time on Hayling Islan thanks Dave.
KevLamb Phil, I think you'd be able to access it via your Profile, then click the Games tab, then click in the individual game.
CFCC-Phil na tried that. i want the one that shows inaccuracies and blunders etc
SteveSaunders Please tell Mike we are thinking of him.
KevLamb Will do Steve. Phil, not sure, perhaps have a play with the icons etc. I'll have a look see if I can find it.
CFCC-Phil ok thanks
CFCC-Phil what are icons by the way?
KevLamb Steve, I thought I saw Mike as a spectator at the start - I wonder if he could view us from hospital? I'll try to find out from Joyce.
KevLamb Or buttons, settings etc.
SteveSaunders Yes Kev I saw him listed as well. Hope he's OK. Rose and I will be with you all on Thursday. Bye for now.
KevLamb Thanks Steve. See you on Thursday. Cheers Rob.
djc202 Hello Rob, just got back from the doing the washing up. I see that it's just you and me online at the moment. You asked 'How do I maintain..
djc202 ... a conversation?' Well, with difficulty, or should i say, at great risk to my chess-playing! AS evidenced by my intermittent performance.
djc202 Tonight, I was in pretty good shape, winning 4 out of 5 on berserk for 12 points.
djc202 That would sometimes be enough to win, but not this evening.
djc202 The double win bonus is such a killer, and I can hardly ever string three or more wins together in a row.
djc202 Anyway, I had better get back to book writing. Also the day job beckons, and an early start tomorrow to drive to Exeter ...
djc202 ... to see my former boss, an academic at the university there. Anyway, good night from me, Rob. Well played this evening. David
robsims2811 I actually played Mike in my first game.
robsims2811 cheers Dave only just read what you wrote here
