Campbell v Jenkins at MCA TNT

A slow online game

Well, slow by online standards, G45. That’s a active/rapid time control in the OTB world. I played this one on FICS and looked at a real board on the side and relied on headphones to tell me when it was my turn so I didn’t have to stare at the computer. This is permitted on this server (as long as you don’t use it to analyse ahead), and seeing how I was using PyChess as my client, I took advantage of the new feature where you can type in moves you want to make. (providing practice for me doing so in OTB tournaments)

As I had less and less time on my clock I became more inclined to look at my computer screen, make moves their first, and make moves with the mouse, but I was glad to have the real board for practice and slowing down early on.

Tick Tick. Week 3 Blitz on Film


Rapid makes its debut

Our first recorded rapid game, 12 minutes with 5 second increment.

Mark’s first long time control game

I’ve played blitz and rapid tournament and online games and many long informal untimed games over the last 23 years but never a long time control game (an hour or more per side) online or over the board, so this was my debut.
