    Also played a couple of hour-long tournaments too.... in the 1-minute games i lost all but three... in the 10 minute games came about 75th out of 400-odd... which does indicate where the weaknesses lie...!

    Who needs an app when you have the forum:

    Prawn E2 to E3. Your move.

    [To those onlookers] I'm hoping to ensnare him with my Berlin defence.

    Hmmm... i'd likely respond with E5... if in doubt, pawn in the centre.

    Although i'd be tempted to start B6 and fianchetto the bishop.

    No, i think E5 is the one...!

    I eat them every week as part of my protein intake, i like king prawns flash fried in oil and cayenne pepper and eaten on a couple of slices of toast. I don't bother with any processed protein supplements any more.
