Chess!

[Der Übermensch]

I'm going to lump this in with sports...

Anyone else play much? I just started getting back into it on a regular basis again, very refreshing :)

If anyone else does plays online, challenge me! I'm derUbermensch on chess.com.

[slack]

yeah, i play alot at yahoo. is chess.com free?

alright i just created an account there. my name is slack.

http://www.chess.com/livechess/profile/slack

cool site. way better than yahoo.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Chess is pretty fun, maybe I'll setup an account on there.

[Cesar21]

I used to love Chess, I was quite good too. Managed to beat the best guy at my High School twice. I used to play online on a site that kept your points/ranking (Gran Master, Master, etc), and had very different types of games (timed, no time, 5 minutes, 1 minutes, 20 minutes, etc). I don't remember the name of the site.

Sadly I haven't played in over 2 years :(.

Edit:I searched, and I used to play in World Chess Network. It is now called World Chess Live

[Cesar21]

I won the first chess game I've played in over 2 years :), used chess.com (good site). The game showed me that I'm way off on my game, taking too much time and being unable to look 3 moves ahead as much as I used too.

[Der Übermensch]

A few more people and we can have an MX tournament!

[slack]

i love how you can view people's past games. :D

[Der Übermensch]

[MurderererII]

[Cesar21]

JMB21, won again today. I did lose a blitz match I entered by mistake (was getting used to the program). I don't play blitz I only do long 20-30 minutes.

Well get a chess.com account, a few more people and we will have an MX tournament :) !!I think chess.com just blew up. Good game so far. :)

[beso negro]

yea wats up with chess.com

an mx chess tourney would be sweeet

[Der Übermensch]

Down for maintenance I assume? Once it's up again, I'll get about organizing a tourny :)

And yeah, very good game. I love using the Indian openings, but once I get in position, I hate moving anything cause I feel so nice and snug...

Edit: Yeah, kinda back up now. Just a main page that says "Chess.com is temporarily unavaialble as we're making upgrades and adding features and fixes.
We should be back online soon!

In the meantime, try beating the computer below... "

[beso negro]

anyone else have a difficult time beating the chess.com computer on easy? or am i really that bad idk.

[Der Übermensch]

Lol. Don't play defensivly. I found if you attack it was really bad at avoiding forks and pins.

Anyways, it's back online.

[Angmar]

If I make an account, will you count me in for a tourney?

Haven't played in ages, but would like to get back into it.

[Der Übermensch]

Sure. More the better!

Just beat the computer on hard :D

[Der Übermensch]

OK! I've created it! http://www.chess.com/tournament/mx-tournament-1

It's invite only, so you need to contact me first ( http://www.chess.com/echess/profile/derUbermensch ), and I will invite you to the event. It will start once everyone has joined (probably tomorrow I'm guessing).

[Cesar21]

How will the games be played?

[Pop music sucks]

I'm assuming turn-based since everyone's on completely different circadian rhythms.

<--Asphodel at chess.com

:wave:

[ATM]

I play on Facebook but maybe I'll join.

[slack]

show offgot killed the second time, heh :)

[Cesar21]

I've lost 4 of the last 5... been playing a lot even if I lose because I neeed the practice to get back into it.

[Der Übermensch]

Looks like we have 5 so far... gonna wait a bit longer and see if we can round up a few more players.

[Pop music sucks]

Wait, why not a 4 round robin whilst the loner plays with themselfLOLFAPFAPFPA.

[slack]

Four is good enough. Start it up.

[DJ Ducksauce]

ah man I used to play like every day of my second semester of sophomore year in high school. My friend would bring his chess board everyday and we'd play in English class. I got really good, but I haven't played much since, so I probably suck now haha.

[beso negro]

[beso negro]

[Der Übermensch]

Four is good enough. Start it up.

Cause I'm waiting on two people who I sent invites too to join.

(gattsu, just sent you one, and ducksauce, get in on this!)

[Der Übermensch]

Ok, I'm gonna start it pretty soon, everyone who has contacted me is now signed on. Give it another hour or two though.

[Badmoon]

I love Chess. I'm not that good, but I try.

But I cannot stand when you want to play chess, and everyone else only knows how to play checkers.

That pissess me off so much.

[Der Übermensch]

You in than?

[Der Übermensch]

Ok... As long as no one else has contacted about joining in, I'm gonna start it first thing when I get up tomorrow. Best of luck everyone!

[Badmoon]

nah, sorry. I wasn't paying attention to the conversation that was going on during the thread.

I just posted my thoughts. sorry

[Pop music sucks]

Ok... As long as no one else has contacted about joining in, I'm gonna start it first thing when I get up tomorrow. Best of luck everyone!I'll be in Fairbanks away from internets for about a week. I'm going to get business attended to. Trade in my truck for a car and talk to the university about admissions and everything that entails.

[Der Übermensch]

Ok, well its ok if you take some time to finish it.

Does everyone else want this to get started now, or wait for a few more people perhaps?

Trade in my truck for a car and talk to the university about admissions and everything that entails.I think there is an option for "vacation" in your account settings. The site gives you something like 30 days to use if you know you're going to be unable to play for some time.

[Der Übermensch]

[slack]
