Title: Chess...
Post by: Hornet on January 22, 2005, 10:52:08 PM

It's amazing how many people can't play it!  Out of about 40 people at work, only two can play, and everyone else thinks I'm some kind of nutter for asking.  I'm a nutter for entirely different reasons!

Seriously though, can anyone play it?

I can, but there isn't anyone willing to play with me.  :(

@_@ I can play chess. I'm really good at it, too. Ugh, but there's barely anyone to play with, so I haven't played foreva~~~. I used to play all the time when my cousin still lived in Bellevue, because he'd visit almost everynight and we'd have chess tournaments. <3 But I think I'm going to join Chess Club next year. That is...if they have one at the high school. <_<

I can not only play chess, I made my own chess-set once (for a school project).

Although if you exclude playing about with KMate (or whatever the terrible Linux/Knoppix version is called, which I did the other night, I haven't played for eons.
Mainly due to not being in regular contact with anyone else that does.

I don't like computer chess because computers don't make mistakes. :|

I can play, but no one I know plays it, and online people irritate me, because they take forever to move and leave at random times.

Good grief - nobody's gone for the spam options.  What has this forum come to?

Perhaps we could set up a match or two here, if people know chess notation and don't mind _Very_ long games?

Back on topic, we have Chess Club here at school. On guy played 3 games simutaneously and won 2. This same guy played last year's President, and got mated in 9 moves.  :ph34r:

Nope. How does that work? Same as regular but with a different board shape, or something else?

Hmm... sounds like fun.  Is the best strategy to stay neutral until the end, though?  :)
