You can view each other's games by...

going to schemingmind.com, and clicking on 'My Games', then clicking on 'Mini Tournaments', then click on 'The OT Tournament' and you'll get a grid of the results so far.

Click on any game and you'll see the board of that match - and using the small icons below the chess board shown can watch the whole match to date.

'Tis pretty cool to see what's happening in the other matches.



Skipper - I was far too confident of getting something out of having my queen on a diagonal threatning mate that I didn't take that queen exchange - I really should have gone for it, hopefully I'll learn for next time

Shim - that last game reminded me of the end scenes from the ST2 - Wrath Of Khan battle m8 - slowly moving the pieces around the board in limited space - bit like submarine battles. I don't think I've ever played a game where the queens were threatening each other at the next move but didn't do anything about for aprrox 50 moves! lol

Have enjoyed that nearly every game has been different - lots of various tactics and gameplans. At the moment Warlber has me really boxed in - am enjoying trying to figure a way of it, though may take some time...
