With all the discussion of fancy shmancy computer games out there, I was wondering if anyone liked to play the ULTIMATE classic, chess. (I suppose checkers is older than chess, but I can't beat my brother at it......... You know what, this side thought is ending now).
Anyway, this is kinda an open invite to anyone who would be interested in playing me, or really anyone else they might meet on this site, either real time over some server, or through correspondance. I'm roughly a 1750 USCF player, if that makes sense to you.
No sense at all.
Haven't played for years, not since I played my sister at it. Got her in Scholars Mate. Set up again, got her again. Set up again, got her again. Set up again, showed her how it worked. Then got her again.
She never played chess with me again. I have no idea why... ;-]
Probably cause you kept beating her, if you're being serious.
I'd like to try my hand at a game with you. We just need to figure out how to do it.
@Dagardo: Sarcasm, my friend.
yeah sorry I was brain dead :U and it just cleared up. thanks for waking my brain up. :)

There's an attached emoticon for a reason. *cough*
Again I apologize, i wasn't paying much attention, and honestly I'm not real sure what ;-] means... I feel like I'm being a pain :cry

@Dagardo: Sarcasm, my friend.
Hmmm, I have a few ideas. I spend most of my time at school, where I can get limited internet access for free, so I can't always load certain programs onto their comps. That being said, I can play on either www.chess.com (If you like correspondance chess) or yahoo.com if you have an account there. MSN has a chess program if you'd be willing to add me to a contact list, but I'm not 100% sure I can run that on a school computer.
Of course, I'm perfectly willing to shout moves back and forth along a thread, but I've since noticed that not too many people seem to know notation systems, or are willing to keep a set-up board near their computer for days at a time to play like that.
I'd be ok with just shouting moves back and forth, especially since I use a Mac and don't think that the MSN chess will work. Or we could shout the moves back and forth via MSN. Whichever you prefer.
I'm game with that. Would it be ok if I shouted in algebriac? And would you rather take white or black? I'm challenging, so you should get the pick of colors.
That's fine with me, I'll likely do the same. I'll take Black, if that's alright with you.
Now to go find a chessboard...
e2-e4 ;-]
More seriously, I'd be willing to do correspondence; I'm usully too busy to play a full game, but can find a few minutes here and there to look and think. And I'd be happy to find a chessboard and set it up...
Mac OSX comes with a chess game, and you can save games. So I think I'll do it that way.
Think we should start a new thread or just play off of this one?
P.S. I'm willing to play both of you in seperate games. What color would you like Illearch? (I spelled that right I hope)
Play in this one, methinks. Or via pm, instead; if you're playing in public, expect other people to chip in with comments. And possibly help.
Although the quality of said help is unlikely to be high... ;-]
I would have thought my colour would be obvious, Corgatha. Given what colour is on e2... ;-] And no, you didn't spell it right; there's no I at the front. Not that anyone else does any better, mind. *grin*

You're not being a pain. Nothing to apologise for, really. An emoticon is the ";-]" construct, or the :cry item. Basically, a small ascii or graphical picture to add emphasis or emotion to an otherwise bland textual experience.
Make sense?
Allright. Pending any objections, we're gonna try playing in this thread.
And please, if you feel the urge to help, at *least* do it by pm. Shouting in public during a chessgame is disgraceful.

Everywhere I've seen, all I need is the origin for the piece and the + to signify check, but I'll do it that way.
I like the long algebraic method because it allows for greater precision. Play a king and queens endgame and you get a *lot* of checks, many of which can come from any angle of the board. Sorry for misinterpreting though.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but isn't this type of stuff supposed to go in the Arena?
And I need to learn algebraic notion... >.>
Well, it's a real-life game, and llearch hasn't moved it, so...
Actually, I did. I moved it here, because it's game related. Rather than an actual game.
It's a 50-50 choice between here and the Arena, though. And it's not mindless entertainment, so...

A slight one. I wasn't crazy about the Na7 move. Now that guy is stuck, and while I don't think I can hold the b6 pawn that keeps him undefended, he can't really get out easily either. I think had you retreated him back to c3, your position would have been equal.

If you want brutal honesty, you're down a piece for no compensation. Being an entire
Bishop down puts you in more or less a hopeless position, unless I make an idiotic blunder and give the material back. Taking with the rook is probably the best move you had available (not taking means I'm two pieces up as my knight runs away, and taking with the king makes it hard to activate your remaining rook) but at this point, it's probably too little, too late.

Brutal honesty is all good. Misleading oneself during a game of chess is simply asking to be beaten by oneself, let alone one's opponent. ;-]

I could have taken the knight with the pawn, but I think that would have left me worse off, overall.
Arguably.

... er. I presume you mean Nd5xb6, actually.

I was pretty sure I moved the knight back to D7, it's safer to hit your rook from there than d5...........
Either position can take the rook anyway, so who cares.

Fun as it is, I'm forced, forced, I say, to resign. I think any chance I have of making a draw will be tedious in the extreme...
Good game, though.

I'd like to try a game in this thread, but I have no idea what's going on here :cry
I blame this thread for making me dig out season four of LEXX and watch 4.18: "The Game", just because the entire episode is a chess match.

Actually, I just dropped a piece... I resign.
Are you certain you want to resign? You can play Qxe6, something takes the queen, and then hxg to have a piece and a rook for the queen. Not great, but not resignworthy........
I've done some calculations and just about every move I play now loses. I would rather not drag on a piece-down grind with no compensation.
(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/The1Kobra/ChessCorgcalc.jpg)
I came up with some lines, none of them go anywhere.
Qxe6, Bxe6,.... and I'm down a Queen for a Rook with no compensation
Ba5, Qxa5, Qb4, Qxb4, xb4, Rxe2,.... down 2 pieces.
Qd3, Bf5, I lose the queen by force.
It's a lost cause, I made a critical error in not playing d5 sooner to give myself some space. I'm kind of upset that I didn't see such a simple thing.
Regardless, I would be up for another game, you can have white this time.

this kind of chess can play but i can't just visualize the moves like you all were doing.
Visualize? Who's visualizing?
I'm pretty sure you'll find that most, if not all of us, are sitting here with our own chessboards set up.
I know _I_ was.
my chess boards lack the coordinate markings. (and i have three)
... so set one up, put the pieces on it, and write the letters and numbers down the side. It's not rocket science... ;-]

... Bishops can't move like that, e.
Also, it's helpful if you tag take moves correctly - x, rather than -.
i did make a mistake that should be Bd4-b2 not d2. ie i was taking your pawn as for my marking i was just copying your last post and adding my move to it. like so

12. Bc1-e3, my move would be placed here.
yet now i'm not certain if i could make that more or not. jut to tired to think straight so i'm going to nap.

... I'm presuming you meant to take my queen at f2, not bunny-hop past it to e2, there.
yes you are correct i'm bad with notation recording.i pressed the move when i saw how intent you were on castling. if i had taken the pawn then you would have taken it with the queen followed by me taking the night with you using the bishop to block i would then have taken the pawn and you would have moved the queen again form my a queen exchange but too may lost pieces to simply stop you form castling. yet now i think my first strategy would have been better. go fig. sleep revives the mind but idlest the thoughts. downs side of the first is that it would have taken a like time as well. and would have been and bigger war of attrition then we just fought. this way you still have some more power pieces to work with.

Erm. Could you try explaining that again, giving move numbers and what they currently are listed as - and what you think they should be?
I can rewind, but I can't understand what you're trying to explain...

Ow.

I think you win this one Kobra. Well, now I know why you're supposed to play h3 on lines where you move the bishop to b7.......
Tie-breaker?
Sure thing.
Do you want to play white or black?
Let's do this formal style, switch colors after games.

i'll post a reply when i get home and ca see my chess board. i make enough mistakes while look at the keyboard no since trying with out it. a two things on knights don't mover over one space like that the second is that i believe you're on c7 not c5 but i need my board to be sure .

To E_Voyager. The higher up you ascend the chess ladder, the less and less games you see ending in checkmate. If you take all the World championship games since 1886, there has been one, and only one game that ended in checkmate. (About half of them are draws, and the other half someone resigns). The better players get, the more they see when a game has descended into terminal area. If you don't look at the current game that I played with Kobra, but the one before, you'll see I resigned when he had a forced mate in 5. There wasn't really any reason to drag it out, when we both know what's going to happen next. The only reason to fight on would be on the incredibly off chance that he owuldn't see the continuation, and as you play better and better people, that simply doesn't happen.

You'd have been better off to simply use your advantage to slice pieces off as fast as you could. Poking about attempting to corner me gave me a chance to escape. Not much of a chance, and as it worked out, I didn't manage to make it, but for a while there...
As far as chess goes, push home whatever advantage you have. Attrition is fine, since it minimizes the options the other player has.
My 2p.

nice two pence llearch. and
Corgatha Taldorthar i understand what you're saying but i try to keep the game interesting were it can got either way until i'm ready for the kill. if i'd played as llearch suggested i could have had the game over in less the then the 37 moves it took. perhaps as few as 25. my favorite games were the ones i used to play when on the the plays form themselves such in a no win situation smother but the on pieces with mate less then 2 moves away before the realized it was coming. now those were fun games. i haven't played on of them in a while. but i'm up to play again if i can find my last two pawns.

ZOMG! I'm as dumb as you are. *deepens palm shaped imprint on forehead* How did I miss Qxc5?
Trust me, I don't know either. All I can think is "epic fail!", on both of our parts.

Sorry for the delay, I've been busy, between C++, power series, coding, and other things that have been driving me crazy. Anyways, back to the game....

Ow, down another pawn. This has been an awful game. Tell you what. I can probably fight on, but I'll just tip my king over. Should have played pxp when I had a chance.
I don't really think I can hold it regardless, after Nc6, D4xe5, Re8, Re1... you can still take, a pawn and a queen for a knight and a rook is a good swap. I could play F4 at some point but that leaves my king ridiculously exposed.
Another game then?

sorry to interupt, and for the necropost, but i found this and thought it fitted perfectly if it hasn't already been posted before.
