Gave Beefy my queen intentionally for fun, because he was so kind as to give me his.

There's a romantic in us all, I suppose.

Does that count or are you doing a rematch?

[shlin28]

No idea, I'm fine with whatever, so let's see what 'khaan thinks.

Sorry, I lost internet for a few days while visiting relatives in Edgewood, IA.

If you've never heard of it, join the 299,999,999 other Americans who haven't.

But ya, in the next few days, I'd like to get another game going.

So I've played a couple games, and I remembered something: I really suck at chess. Especially online chess, which I seem to do worse at than normal chess.

So I was wondering what you guys would recommend in the way of reading and the like in order to get better?

Two of my tourney game is underway against Pevergreen and Glyphz, although it probably won't be finishing in some weeks due to time differences.

I second this question. While I've gotten a (very) little better since we started the tourney, my game definitely still leaves something to be desired.

Just drag the King along to where he should be placed, the Rook moves automatically.

EDIT: I just lost my Queen to Caius for his Bishop, and so I fear my chances of qualification may now be gone.
