Cool. I played competitive chess in my younger days.

I know the rules, but I could be easily thrashed by the average 12 year old player. Only time I win games is when I put the computer on numpty mode.

Yes, we might at last see a winner in Game 10. 9 straight opening draws is kind of unheard of in a challenge like this. |

I thought this was about Chinese Chess.  |

I had a coworker once who had been a ranked chess player - good enough for regional tournaments, but not for national ones. I will never forget how he beat four of us simultaneously and very easily - without even looking at the boards!

Does he play the Ruy Ropez opening? You're probably joking but that would the Ruy Lopez opening, a King's pawn opening. Named after a 16th century Spanish bishop. |

Nay play today, it's the rest period, but the players are back on Saturday, slap bang in the middle of the 3pm EPL card and later set-to at Wembley. Pity, as I've enjoyed spending the international break following the games even though they've all been drawn so far and with just two game days remaining the match could go to tie-breakers on Wednesday, two days after the 12 full games have finished:
I'd f***ing love it if all three tie-breakers were needed.

One eye on Game 11. The queens came off early doors and this is looking like another draw.

A dull draw after just 135 minutes. 5 1/2 points each. The final square-up is on Monday.
