@torunn saidI like to stick to taking my skulls and letting others do as they see fit. Sometimes Stees is just to nice a guy! 😉
To start with, I think Stees should claim wins in timeout games - it's not unsportsmanlike or unfriendly, it's part of the game. Unless of course your opponent has asked for your permission to wait. If it doesn't matter if you win or lose, then it's not an interesting game, to me anyway.

@torunn saidGames can be interesting in different ways, perhaps interesting moves or interesting banter.

@great-big-stees saidI always make mistakes when I chat and play so stick to playing the game.....ok I still make mistakes but can't blame it on the chat. If I want to chat that is what the P.M. feature is for. 😉

@very-rusty saidI love to chat in games where I don't expect to win or even draw, my opponents obviously can do both. I can only do either or. 🙂

@torunn saidI may have chatted with you in a few games now that I think about it! 😉 It was stuck to short conversation though.

But Stees is right, we play for different reasons. And we enjoy what we do.
@torunn saidI don't really recall now but I believe we only played 4 games, I remember one of them we got stuck in a draw!! I will look it up afterwards to be sure, if not I am sure someone will point it out to me, they are good like that here! 😉

@very-rusty saidMy priorities in playing chess are with the banter and to that I will stick.

@very-rusty saidMost often, when I play a better player, I do ok the first game, and then if there are more, I do worse. Let us try again some time. 🙂 You are welcome too, Stees.

@billyray saidApparently the thought got stuck...I think. 😉
I'll stick a thought in here.
@torunn saidThey were actually 4 clan games so our Clan Leaders actually set them up. I'll play anyone I am paired up with as I am stuck with it, I never complain. Well about that anyways, before everyone jumps in here! 😉

@very-rusty saidI wondered, for a while, if I should stick my nose in here and seriously thought no, but as is evident. I did. 😀
