Hi Graham,

Let me know at what time the cut off will be. Will be up for another 4 or 5 hours. If more time is needed then I will pick up tomorrow morning central time.

Hi Nick,

at present it is 2.15pm Sunday here, so I guess that 5.30pm would be okay with you?
I'll be back at work later this week, so that's probably a good time for me too.

Cheers,
Graham.

Ok Fixing Clocks :) It is 7.15 pm Saturday here so we have 17 hours difference I think.

During the week best time for me for posting moves and receiving moves would be from about 5 pm (your time 12.00 mid day) and midnight (your time 7 pm) if my math is correct.

The nice thing about 5 pm (my time) is that if it is a simple move then I could post the move before Midnight my time on the same evening. That provides about 6 or 7 hours calculating time for the MDC for obvious postions. Steve already mentioned that after about 6 hours the MDC will most likely not change his move, because at that point the extra ply might take many more hours (longer than 24 hours even) to achieve.

On weekends the time difference doesnt matter so much.

Regards

Very good - I'll aim for 5pm my time each day. If I'm a little later during the week, it will be because of an after school meeting.

Cheers,

If I'm not around at 5pm and the vote is clear, just take it that that's our move and post as such.
That'll make things even easier. :D
