Are you trying to start a game of chess Gordon?

If so, c5.

Oh hi David! I wasn't expecting that. I suppose I was doing the typing equivalent of humming to myself. Well spotted!

OK then...

Gordon, I hope you have a chessboard in front of you. If not and you play blind, I bow down in awe! (before you, David, also, although I don't know you [yet?]) See you next week in Wollongong, Gordon. We've been in the sea yesterday, although E-M almost drowned in a (for her) high wave. Was fun anyway! Alex

Alex, are you joking? There is no way I am going to start using a chessboard until I get to the end of this.

;-)

David, however, feels to me like he is a very good chess player, so I am starting to get a bit anxious. Yes, see you in Wollongong!

You started it by playing the Sicilian! ;-)

Never fear, I will run out of moves soon and then have to start thinking. I suspect you will wipe the board with me, so I should warn you that I will delay the inevitable by going away on holiday tomorrow for about 8 days! Without internet.
