Got to take your victories where you can.

That's the way to do it. He had his chance.

It happened to a mate of mine.
He approached a bloke near a gay bar who was wearing a pink tie. 'You look like a queen, I'm a rookie but would you like to spend all knight watching porn and bashing my bishop?'
'WHAT???'
'er.... i said, do you fancy a game of chess'

Arrange to play the equivilent ranked player in England.
feed him the jocks moves, then feed the other moves back.

Problem is he plays for Scotland and has a ranking the same as a player I once got the better of after about 20 games.

My family motto is "Sneaky Is Best", so my advice is to cheat.

Can you get a decent chess app for your iPhone?

I will be black so it is Petrosian for me, if I can get 6 moves in then I might have a chance.

You're a contractor, so tackle the problem with software: Shredder, Rybka or Fritz.

You must win, as he's a Scott and they must remain downtrodden.

He can say he's working on SKA 2, his mate will understand.

Personally I would go for the Telephonus defence - arrange for him to receive a phone call - and swipe his pieces when he's not looking.
