I am surprised by how good the response is to this thematic tournament. Perhaps it is something that either many people aspire to play, or are currently playing. Could be a good surprise opening to avoid the masses of theory books that CC can sometimes throw on you.

Originally posted by thekillersfanLOL, Tim and I have a running battle going. He's a Bird man, i'm a Lion man. If we could only combine the two we'd be the ultimate killing machine!! 😀
It will be fun seeing you guys battle it out! I'll watch the bloodshed from the sidelines 🙂
Especially looking forward to the tmetzler v marinkatomb "grudge" match! 😏

PM me if and when you both are in the midst of strangling each other ... hidden bird, crouching lion!

Originally posted by thekillersfanI really hope we get paired together, that'd be great. I wonder if i asked really nicely that couldbe arranged? I suppose it's not really fair on the rest ofthe entrants who get paired randomly. What do you recon? 😕

Originally posted by MarinkatombI am currently playing two "unfriendly" games against tmetzler that I set up on a personal basis, as I am not waiting around for the admins to pair us up! Just play two set piece games where Tim gets to play his bird attack and you get to play your lion. 🙂

Then you can have a go at trying to bash each other! Its more fun this way, since you are not affecting the tournament/clan/league etc.! I hope to have most of my games like this on RHP once my current game obligations run out.

I think that's it, though there could be more i guess...
As for games against Tim, the first two or three wins are from a couple of years ago. In our recent games it has been pretty much dead level, i have no idea why he isn't graded 1800+ to be honest... perhaps it's his religious attachment to the Bird...(dig) 😉😛
