Here is a challenge. Find a win form the player Gerald (http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/info/player.jsp?plid=11040) that is not from the opponent timing out.
The winner is the one who finds the most of these (you cannot get points for some that have already been claimed).
This is not meant to spite anyone, just a challenge.

Well done. Did you use a program (or a site feature I am not aware of?) or did you just have some free time?
I guess Gerald makes more of an effort than I thought.

I did not use software, just browsed his matches in a few selected games. :-)

By the way, the forum seems to think that this thread has 17 replies. Did you make some and delete them that the forum forgot to uncount?

Yes, first I found about a dozen matches here and there in his statistics and posted one by one. Then I found quite a few matches towards the bottom of his four in a row list and collected them in one post. A few hours later I got back and edited all my posts into one and deleted the old ones.

Yes, I've noticed the forum always forgets to uncount deleted replies.

"I guess Gerald makes more of an effort than I thought."
He used to. Which is why I think joining now is an old habit, from a time when his state of mind was different than it has been for the past several years.

Yeah, his wins suggest he was a decent chess player looking at his first chess games here. Many wins.

He actually doesn't have nearly as many ongoing games as he used to. I would have thought he would have some wins in einstein. It seems like one of the games where you can win sometimes by just moving somewhat randomly.
