This is cute Rhialto and Tom Atomic will fall in love over online chess and grow old playing together as the isolation continues, admiring each others' opening gambits and suchlike, maybe the odd hint on this thread, which will become 10s of 1000s of posts long.
In 2032 the virus will die of old age and we will emerge blinking into the light. Rhialto and Tom will arrange to meet under the clock at Waterloo station if there still is one, Rhialto will say omg Tom u munt and will shuffle away, embittered at losing her best years to playing chess with a conman with a deceptively handsome castle.

Fluffy you can spy on other players games i think.
At uni i shared lab space with a GM of correspendence chess. He was true old school (and held the aussie record for sim blindfold games).

I haven't played for so long... ...I don't know my Baron from my Monk.
Actually it is symptomatic of my general feeling of dullness at the moment... ...I can't generate mental momentum.

On the one hand he has been on ROF forever. On the other hand that is hardly an indicator of good character.
To paraphrase Ming the Merciless i think we approve his membership until such time as we get bored of him.
