Well, that is annoying, I can't do the English one because the limit hasn't been reset or extended.

Still getting the message:

"Uh-oh! This game has already reached the maximum number of players. Ask the host to increase the limit!"

MJMcCready, the Soviet one was really good. Any chance you can extend the limit for the English one?
I will do my best and let you know if I can.

Hi all, firstly I wasn't expecting the number of players to go over 50 and because I don't subscribe to the site I can't change that. So what I have done is assigned it again to finish on Aug 6th. So if you didn't play in the first one, you can do so here or if you just want to give it another shot you can do so here: this is English Chess Players [/url]https://kahoot.it/challenge/02809338?ch ... 7442212068[/url]

I thought that would be the case, I made it the hardest question. There is quite a bit I could tell you about this fellow if you were ever interested.

I think I got five wrong, and actually got one of those right but the time ran out just as I tried to click the answer! I am temporarily at the top of the new leaderboard with 11522 points (with only three players so far and one of those playing the game as we speak!). I am 'CK'. I am also too slow in clicking the obvious ones... I need a lie down now!

he he, well Kahoot is known not to be good for the old blood pressure. The skill is in the speed of the answer. Some people don't read the question properly because they want to be the fastest, then they go wrong.
