Danny,

I have to reject that boards, even with regular colors and if all glasses were filled single malt.

They are not allowed for youth events I am afraid.


And Mr. King only accepts a challange if his percentage of the price money is higher then the percentage of the drinks inviolved.

Greetinx from Germany in autumn to Australia in spring,

I wonder if that set was inspired by the checkers game in the movie Our Man in Havana?

aha con que esas tenemos Irma???

hmmmm that sounds like a challenge to my self-proclaimed title....
I might go and bid on ebay on that set so that i can prepare my title defence .... :)

Tommy what are the rules, do we have to use "el tequileno" o can i suggest an alternate brand to take away Irma's home advantage ?

Irma i promise to practice during the xmas and new years holidays lol

My intentions are totally honourable Tommy ... just trying to defend my pseudo-title...
although at the endgame when there isn't many pieces around who knows where my intentions might go hahaha.

BTW Mr Saavedra.... what a great link u posted i didnt get a chance to look at it till now . Fantastic :) i have seen that movie but alas, too long ago to remember that scene.

My rules are different though, You don't drink the ones you jump from your opponent, you drink your own pieces you lose
