Oh you mean live chess? I don't know when I'll be available for that; I'm having my Easter holiday and travelling south soon. But if I'm online I'm game.

I don't know how it works on chess.com I thought you meant live game, otherwise my first suggestion was that we just post the moves here.

They do have correspondance chess; that's what I usually play. I like that since I can leave it and do something else for a while and then come back to it. You can set up games with all sorts of time limits, everything from 1 day to 14 days per move. They also have live chess with different options, everything from blitz to 45 minutes and even custom games, so I suppose it's possible to set up a game lasting however long we want. The advantage of correspondance chess over live chess is of course that we don't have to be online at the same time.

Anybody else want a bite at this? I can set up a tournament, or something?

Ah, I know this attack. Highly aggressive. Fortunately, I learned the proper defence - albeit learned the hard way.
