Message: Just to say that I had a very narrow squeak against a player 300 points south of my rating. I played the game called "In The Dentist's Chair" in the public gallery pretty badly and I was sooo lucky to come away with a win in that match. Has anybody else on this forum had a bad experience like this. If so, and you do not wish to post it on the forum you could always send me a PM! Oh well, Friday today - have a nice weekend everyone! Bye for now. Joanne

I remember there were two years in a row where I was part of a team that wound up pitted against a group of middle schoolers. I never underestimate players by their age, but they were significantly lower rated. Somehow, in both years, I dropped a rook very early in the game and had to fight back to win against very bad odds. To make matters worse, when I hung my rook, the opponent was literally dancing in his chair! My teammates who looked over at me said I w
