Chess

Recommended Posts

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. :heh: Any skill I do have (read: not much) is just transferred from go.

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.

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 ...

You know the blitz chess is way faster and has a time limit. Should totally play that instead.

Heh we call it Runner here too (well in Dutch of course, called Loper). I always thought it was like, some sort of messenger for the royal family haha.

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 :blush: And on MSN.

 

Once this is done we need to resurrect the Pool Championship.

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.

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.

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).

Oh hadn't seen you were holding one. Ellmeister can have the spot if he so wishes.

I'm not too keen about tieing all this up into fb. I insist Ellmeister takes the spot.

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!
