(Rob) It was my objective to get as much Standards to the front as possible in order to facilitate an attack with the other pieces.

*White lost game due to taking more than 15 days to make move 6.

Overall Comments

(Rob) Here are the moves. As you see, we didn't get very far. Maybe that's a problem with this game. It is not very fast playing. Not a problem in face-to-face play, but it is in pbem play (play by email).
