Title: Chess Post by: sirjohn13 on October 21, 2003, 08:18:03 PM Anyone here plays chess?
Apart from MythoS, my commander and friend in real life, who I met in a chess tournament. I play chess many years now, not just as a hobby, I have taken it seriously, going all around Greece, or even abroad to participate in chess tournaments.......... Anyone else who also plays chess for something more than just fun? Title: Chess Post by: ns33 on October 21, 2003, 10:47:08 PM Quote Anyone here plays chess? I think our first chess tournament is coming soon. I'll be attending!!... as an observer :( I've forgotten a lot of the strategies in chess. Last time I played was when I was 10 years old (and I kicked ass back then too :P ). I might learn again. :cool: Apart from MythoS, my commander and friend in real life, who I met in a chess tournament.

We might even have a friendly NEA vs TGA chess match(how chess can be played by more than 2?believe me it can) :P Btw,if he hasnt already shouted out for it,John is taking part at the world chess championship starting in 2 days!

Title: Chess Post by: Dark_Banana on October 22, 2003, 12:56:26 AM I'm a pretty good player although I don't play much. A fun variation of chess is Nightmare Chess. I'm sure few, if any, have played it, but it is a normal chess game with a card game variation. It takes strategy to a whole new level.
Title: Chess Post by: TheNerfee on October 22, 2003, 12:56:49 AM I used to play chess a lot. Played in a few tourrnaments, got a few trophies, but then I just fell out of it. Was a little busy and none my friends would ever play me because. And I absolutely HATE playing agaiinst computers. I don't know exactly why.
So I guess I played chess pretty seriously a few years ago, but nothing professional. Title: Chess Post by: Dark_Banana on October 22, 2003, 01:04:13 AM It is hard to find a good opponent since few play chess seriously and so once you become the best in a region, only computers are challenging, but computers are predictable and without personality.

If you play with a computer long enough, you forget how human players (who make stupid or unexpected moves) act. Happened to me; I played vs. my comp sooo many times, any other styles of play by opponents knocked me totally off balance. :( Title: Chess Post by: Psygod on October 22, 2003, 08:42:47 AM auron... move this thread... i hate chess!!!
btw: 400th post !!!!! Title: Chess Post by: MythoS on October 22, 2003, 09:54:01 AM LOL.
Anyway computers might be a lot of things but they are a good practise nonetheless... Banana where are you from and whats your rating?You sound...promising... Title: Chess Post by: Filran on October 22, 2003, 11:24:13 AM Sirjohn, please post threads like these in the HQ, where they belong.
Title: Chess Post by: Perdition on October 22, 2003, 12:22:29 PM I used to play chess a lot to. but no body ever wanted to play with me. So i eventualy fell out of it and forgot all of my skills. never felt like entering any turnaments. proboly wasn't good enough anyways. I played it for fun not to win.
