A Challenge Issued:
“You have nothing to lose” but “20 or more if you win.”

A Challenge Accepted:
“a casual correspondence chess game”

A Battle Fought:

“I am about to mess up royally”

A Winner Proclaimed:
“The draw was accepted, with honours going to olivermellors for a flawless match.”

And Finally, A Prize Delivered:
The month’s tally: 1 FF, 2 TP, 1 SS, 1 HW

Well today marked the 4th Hard Worker medal, so finally have all the Gold ready for delivery. Too bad they changed division rules (making it harder) so I couldn’t send a few more Gold from a BH.

A Lesson Learned, or maybe just replayed:
“Were not surrendering they approached us for a deal.”

The draw you offered was very gracious, when it made good sense to secure a clear victory through further attrition. But I guess it’s not much fun challenging a hapless opponent like me in a zero-sum game. More war on the chess board (that rematch I promised) would have been nice, but alas...

…A Final Note:
“I don’t belong here”

Another match someday? Still likely to continue losing, but I will try harder next time (showing signs of improvement already)
