Posted December 2, 2010 I'll play, but I'm not very good - I don't know any strategy and am at the awkward stage where I make stupid errors all the time. I remember playing a fairly intense Facebook chess game with jayseven a while back, which he of course won, but I did ok thanks to the massive gaps between turns. I then got soundly defeated by him on a real board. Any skill I do have (read: not much) is just transferred from go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2010 mcj; lol just noticed my mistake. AGAIN. I dunno why, it's because your sig is like his old one or something mad in my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 2, 2010 Some of the Danish terms are somewhat silly. They start off fine and dandy ... King = King Queen = Queen So far, so good. But then it starts to get weird ... Rook = Tower Pawn = Peasant All right, makes sense ... Knight = Jumper Eh ... Bishop = Runner Just WTF ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 3, 2010 You know the blitz chess is way faster and has a time limit. Should totally play that instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 4, 2010 I'll play. Haven't done so in awhile. You can! I believe EEVILMURRAY is the best at that. That's mainly to the Internet Checkers in the Start menu And on MSN. Once this is done we need to resurrect the Pool Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 4, 2010 Yeah knockout blud. people can arrange between themselves (once the draw's been made) when's best to meet and play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2010 So which chess thing will we be using? Or will it simply be whatever one is easiest for the two people. I vote that we do it over PMs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2010 Whatever's easiest. Chess.com and it's facebook ap are really, really good and well worth joining. There's yahoo.com and .co.uk It really would be easiest to get teh app on facebook and add each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2010 Chess took Sixth Form by the hailstorm this year. I love it, and rape very often. It's an amazing game, and I found myself watching the whole of the World Chess Championship 2010 involving Topalov and Anand. This is incredibility though: I can't see how you could not be fascinated by the game (sorry if vid was posted). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2010 Cheers for the vid, was good to watch. So do you want to take the last spot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2010 Yeah ignore me I don't really want to play ..or do I? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2010 Oh hadn't seen you were holding one. Ellmeister can have the spot if he so wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2010 Honestly, I wanted to play but I really can't so you might as well take my place. I insist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2010 I'm not too keen about tieing all this up into fb. I insist Ellmeister takes the spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2010 Round has been drawn! Diageo - Murray jayseven - supergrunch Jonnas - mundi Haden - mike1988uk Charlie - cube Dwarf gourami - Raining_Again Flameboy - Mcphee Peeps - mcj metroid This was done by writing names on a piece of paper, folding tiny, shaking about then throwing the lot at my laptop screen. I'd take the two farthest from the screen and write them out, then gather the rest, shake and repeat. I can do this again for each round or we can stick with the order to determine the future round brackets. What think we? Go ahead and get in touch with your rival! Best of 3 games. Report back asap dwarf; use yahoo.co.uk instead. I just did the whole draw thing You claim to kick ass, so show us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
