Anybody for a game of chess

**ShadesWolf** · 05-18-2005, 21:47

I was thinking about having/ setting up a 5 player chess tourni on the server that I play on and calling it 'King of the Org'

It will be play by mail and have a limit of 5 days per move.

Is anybody interested ?

how will you prevent participants from using chess programs?

**ShadesWolf** · 05-18-2005, 22:15

You dont, its just down to the members not to do it.

Ive got 71 games on the go at the moments ranging from 2 days per move to 10 day. This will just be a friendly tourni, if people want to cheat then it is very hard to stop them.

Do you have any programs online for freeware where you can move both players to keep tabs? Also, are we talking about through email? If so, I'm game.

Why not play the whole game at once on a chess site? Im game. Ive only played maybe 10 games in the last 20 years but I bet I give you a hell of a fight.

If you set this up, I'd be interested to watch it. I'm not sure if I'm up for playing it yet, but I'll certainly be interested.

I suck beyond all human reckoning but why not?

Rugby is better than American football and you all know it

Grrr....I am never large enough to be a proper flanker

why not do it over at yahoo games. Set up your own table and all.

Can play chess, but don't generally - lack the patience for it (when I do concentrate, I tend to play a rather defensive, reactive game - the other guy probably wins, but it takes a while)

Don Corleone - tighthead prop! That's the position to be, nothing like getting down and dirty with the opposition (and getting two of them to... nudge... in the scrum is a bonus. Though, next time I start playing, I intend to play somewhere different - more suited to my size (whoever heard of a six foot one prop?). Flanker sounds good - if a little energetic for my current body...

Our tighthead prop is 6'1'' and our other prop is 6'2''...but they're too bliddy tall...the lock is a mere 5'1''

and I am the shortest flanker in the history of rugby...5'6'' I am midget mania 2005...for a rugby player anyways. Flanker does'nt require that much vigour anyways, just a lot of tackliong and rucking and mauling...which ain't terrible great for a person of my size and weight...

Ahh Somebody Else, you play chess just like me...except I am the worst chess player you'll ever see

The website I use is called Lets play chess.com it is a members site and costs £10 to joins per years (approx $15)

The good thing about it is I can invite you to a game for free, so creating a tourni is no problem. All I need is an email address and what user name you want.

so the first three to PM the info to me will be in. I will set the tourni up as five days per move unless you want it as two days per move. Just to let you know what that means, each player will have two days to make a move, if they dont then the other player after the time limit is up is allowed to claim a win on that game if they want. you can make as many or as few moves as you want.

So who is up for it then. First come, first served.

Did I tell you I learned chess from my dad, who qualified for the Canadian Nationals and placed 2nd in Ontario? I placed 2nd in my school board 1 year.
