Glen More and John Silver

March 31, 2011

Yesterday we had our weekly meeting, and I’m raporting it today! How fast is that! While waiting for another player to arrive, the other Mikko and I played a quick match of 13×13 Go on his iPad.

March 2, 2011

I missed Wednesday games last week, so it’s been a bit quiet. However, I’ve been playing lots of games with Nooa, I’m just lazy blogging about them. Here’s a bit of catch-up on that front: Mouse Carousel. Nine games in couple of days. Nooa is pretty good in this now he’s a bit older. When [...]
