degringoladeI cannot accept you until I have finished this game!
NatashaReganwhen we finished this game well let you in! :)
elise_melok thank you
degringoladewe play every Satuday morning
elise_meli played shogi once before your game changer book came out
NatashaRegannice!!!
elise_melafterwards i picked up doing some shogi puzzles
elise_melbut i have no idea how to play the rest of the game
degringoladei think the tutorals on lishogi are good
degringoladethe bots are also a good way of learning
elise_meli think i have 1 win vs 5 against the lvl 1 bot
degringoladeI played a lot against level 1 before playing any humans
elise_meli tried 81dojo but lost all my games there
elise_meloh i see
degringolade81dojo is serious!
NatashaReganI'm guessing you play chess
elise_melyes i am about 2000 fide
elise_meli have lost 2 games against your national champion gawain jones
degringoladeexcellent
NatashaReganare you scotland?
elise_melno
degringoladeHi Elise - I cannot see your Join request

degringoladenatasha must have beaten me to it
degringoladeyou can now join this tournament
elise_melthank you i will try to get game in
elise_mellucky me i get natasha
degringoladebyoyomi is 15 seconds
degringoladeso when you run out of your 7mins you get 15 sec for each subsequent move
degringoladeit is not an increment
elise_melyes thank you

elise_melgg Natasha
degringoladeunlucky - that was a good game
NatashaRegangg - you're very strong!
elise_melwow really
elise_meli had no idea what was going on
elise_meli felt like i was never really breaking through there
NatashaRegannice! well it seemed like you knew everything!! :)
elise_meli think i am missing a lot of strategy
elise_melcan never break through before my opponent does
NatashaRegando you know shogi harbour? rhat's a good channel for shogi in English
elise_melah yes i have heard of them
elise_melfrom move 9 i am not really sure what to do, where to put my pieces
elise_melok i will check them out
NatashaRegangreat to meet you! we play (nearly) every saturday - hope to see you again soon!
elise_melgreat! i will try to make it when i can
degringoladethe shogi techniques with pawns are the key to breakthroughs
NatashaRegancongratulations degringolade!
degringoladestriking pawn, dangling pawn
elise_melcongrats!
degringoladewe don't have equivalents in chess
elise_melhm ok i will try to understand some of those concepts
degringoladeI think there are some good youtube videos on pawn tesuji
elise_melis this time control considered fast btw? i felt like it was very fast
degringoladeyes - this is fast
elise_meli see
degringoladeyou can also play on shogi wars - where there is no byoyomi & 10 mins for all moves
degringoladeor even 3mins
elise_meloh wow 3 mins is impossible
elise_meli think i tried 10 mins on 81 dojo and it was very fast as well
degringolade81dojo is a bit unkind
degringoladeyou lose if you make an illegal move
degringoladelishogi doesn't let you make illegal moves
degringoladeand tells you when it's check!
elise_meloh yes i did quite a few illegal pawn drops there
degringoladeit's a nicer transition for chess players
degringoladeand they have arenas
elise_melyes i very lucky i spotted the banner on the left here today
elise_melthank you very much for having me here
degringoladeno worries. see you next time. we always play at 11 Uk time)
elise_melgreat i will try to make it
