It has been said that chess players are good at two things, Chess and Excuses.  It has also been said that Chess is where all excuses fail! In order to win you must dare to fail!

To save people trouble.
White got his knight stuck on the edge.

Funny, reminded me of this article:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/feb/01/top-five-regrets-of-the-dying

Long, long, shuffly endgames, rather than knights.

I solved the problem now with compatibility view button (left side of F5 button on the screen). Web sites build for older browsers have better look and problems like menus, images or text outside site will be corrected.  Smiley

It´s the update of the page on my pc (not the first time that happens). I see 29/02 (after F5 too) but when I try yesterday history of sites, March appears. Maybe I need to kill some cookies.  Undecided

They change it few hours ago because it was 29/02 and they deserve a break because of Semko birthday. Happy Birthday!  Smiley
