Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That's interesting about the price discrepancy between the app and the website Weath. I'd never noticed that. Does it mean that you only get the premium benefits on EITHER the app or the desktop, depending on what one you sign up for? Or just that you have to have been savvy enough to sign up where it's cheapest?

I've had a similar curve, Weath, lost six of my first nine matches but then really took time with the John Bartholomew fundamentals (and now climbing the ratings ladder) videos and it's helped a huge amount. I now have a much better idea of what I'm looking to achieve rather than getting the minor pieces out and then wondering what to do and have won eight of the next nine fetchie games I've completed.

Still making a few careless, irritating mistakes though! :-)

Bad time to be playing Weath then. And I ‘ve managed to throw my queen away early doors so a mountain to climb in the second half... I was on a good run so had to come to an end some time!

Good question Salty and I'm not sure.
I only picked up on the difference as the (Android) app defaulted to Google Pay for me when I was checking out the terms of the trial offer/subsequent payment. Out of interest I checked if the website offered a direct payment by card - which it does - but the headline price was shown to be cheaper as well.

Haven't committed yet but expect it's only a matter of time.

I did make the comment that it was against 'inexperienced players' iRicey, I'm not getting that vibe from your good self (although giving away that queen was a lucky gift for me! 😉).

Not wanting to jinx you Goofee, but you’re going along very nicely in your games against the Runners:)

Your games look comfy as well Mb1:)

No chat from my opp & I’m out of opening theory now so I’m slowing him down now.

Brian’s opp has put his Vacation marker up so those faves won’t move for a while.
