Test
Well, Carolus, I take a few days off in the mountains. I shall be back next thursday for my next move

[Carolus Rex]

Ok, then I will think a little more about my next move.

Enjoy your stay!

Another watershed for me. I could go for the exchange and close the c-line, but being the challenger I have to try better than that. Whether it is better or simply a move that brings me down (it does not feel completely sound), I've decided to play...

I thought you would play the bishop move
I found my reply in the hot waters of a thermal pool in a winter station
Definitely a cool move then

What do you mean
It 's a 50/50 game, although I prefer white
But it is only because I play white

[Carolus Rex]

Heh, heh, heh!

Funny, from my side of the board I only see an end game with whitish flavour. I'm despairing... But that's only because I play black!
