Title: Chess
Post by: FinnKaenbyou on May 08, 2009, 10:51:52 PM

Anyone around here play the game? Wondering if maybe we could get a correspondence game or two going...

(Move this into UGW if that's where it belongs, I'm not sure.)

Not good with it, I know a few site that play chess, checkers, uno and monopoly. I rather play something else at the moment.  :P

Whenever I play I always wind up stalemating because of that stupid rule about how you can't trap the king.

What a dumb rule >:|

Anyway I'd be fine with playing a game or two if a simple means of doing so was provided.

Ah chess. The good ol' strategy game that never gets old.

Except it is for me. So I'm not interested, although I MAY play a few rounds some other time.

I play I just decided to register and a play a match. First, I aciddentally blundered away my queen. Wouldn't have been so bad, but for some he had 5-second delay and I didn't. As a result when just about evened out the tables I ran out of time and he still had about 2 minutes left. Was a blitz match, but still think I should have won.
Do you know if you can play bughouse on the site?

I try playing, I get frustrated, then stop.
I don't have the patience for chess.

GG, Stuffman.

Anyone else up for a game, just challenge me over on chess.com. I'll look/play whenever I get the chance, which is usually several times a day.

Instead of memorizing who name is who, how about everyone just put the room title as "Touhou"

I play occasionally but  I haven't had an opponent for a while so I'm probably rusty. Only so much you can do playing against yourself and with that I usually end up having all but a few units killed.
