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
Bughouse on Film
Blitz on Film week 2, EasyPrisey v VinylVampire
PGN needed.
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.
Click on on the C8 square for the pgn and G8 for documentation.
