[Event "Atomic Chess: Minor Incumbrances of the atomic kind"] [Site "SchemingMind.com"] [Date "2005.03.01"] [Round "-"] [White "Philip"] [Black "Austin Lockwood"] [Result "0-1"] [Variant "atomic"] [WhiteCountry "INT"] [BlackCountry "ENG"] [WhiteElo "1656"] [WhiteRD "70"] [BlackElo "1593"] [BlackRD "119"] [GameID "9798"] 1. Nh3 { Philip: Vengeance will be mine! :P } 1... f6 { Austin Lockwood: You can't loose - if I win nothing happens, if you win we swap places! } 2. e4 { Philip: oh i see. well maybe if you win you should get a half game credit against another challenger } 2... d5 { Austin Lockwood: Yeah... the rules might need tweaking as we go along. But I don't think you should move up a level for beating someone on a lower level (or vice versa). There is a risk that the pyramids might become unstable and topple over! } 3. e5 { Philip: ah good point. i didn't follow the forum so perhaps you iterated that, i did skim it a while back. i'm happy just playing variants! } 3... Nh6 { Austin Lockwood: Yeah - it all really started because we don't rate variants. people were asking for it, but I wanted to have something that was a bit more fun and informal than the Glicko system to rank players. I think this format is great because it's like a tournament that runs forever and you can join at any time. Also, when you get to the top you have to fight to stay there. } { Philip: well said! there's a quote for you! } 4. Qh5+ g6 5. e6 Ng4 6. f4 Nxh2 7. Qf3 c5 8. Bb5+ Nc6 9. d4 Qa5+ 10. c3 Bh6 11.

Rd8 { Austin Lockwood: Try emailing me again - the only SM ones that work now are austin@ and admin@ (I don't have a catchall any more... to much spam to info@, sales@, etc. etc.!) - austin@lockwood.me.uk and austin.lockwood@manchester.ac.uk (work) should work too. } { Austin Lockwood: (I'm also austin.lockwood@lancashirecare.nhs.uk - but I can only pick that one up from the office) } { Austin Lockwood: You can have an SM email address if you want? } 16. Qb4 { Philip: oh my! well i'm pretty sure that the only ones i've used are austin and admin and your lockwood one so i'll bear those all in mind! i won't trouble you at work, wouldn't want to give them any encouragement should they consider you're tooy busy with this site :) an sm email would be cool for moderator email? i don't like to list my own but if someone wanted to reach me that way it would be cool to have. i can add in another pop account in my apple mail program. also if you ever needed me to email someone as a representative of your site that would be useful too. philip@ is always my preference, if you wish. thanks! } 16... Rd1 { Austin Lockwood: OK... will set it up... } 17. Nh2 { Philip: yeeks. this game is hairy. i just lost another atomic p. game now to pawnracer. yay SM email woo ha. i will change my profile email then } 17... Rf1+ { Austin Lockwood: I think I've got a forced win now... } 18. Ke2 { Philip: :( } 18... Nd4+ 19. Kd3 Rd1+ { Game Over: good heavens you weren't kidding! } 0-1
