Jesus Christ, sorry.
I’ve been way too busy and it’s not fair to keep you waiting so long for moves.
You can claim a win if you want to.

Exams start in a week and a half but let’s get some moves done this weekend.

I don’t know how it works in other countries, but in Finnish high school the year is split into five periods.
At the end of each we have examination week. I had my last test yesterday so now I should be able to focus on the game much more.

Thanks a dozen for your patience!

Due to a debating tournament this weekend, I have again been slow to respond. Don’t worry, such competitions are far and few between (about twice a year, in fact). Just keeping you updated.

I’ll try and get back to you tomorrow afternoon. Italy shouldn’t require too too much time after all.
