How about a nice game of chess?

Recommended Posts

Alright, who here on the Shard is any good at chess? Lately I've reactivated on chess.com and started meeting again with my chess-buddies, played a bunch of silly and embarrassing games, and started to get my game back on. So I started to wonder: Are there enough people here to start regular, round-robin correspondence games? Chess is an amazing, beautiful mix of tactics and strategy, and I'd like the chance to do it a little justice, either by crushing you people or being crushed by you people. Chess.com is good place for this kind of thing, and my username is Deathguardian97. Send me a challenge if you're feeling up to it, maybe discuss the game a bit in here. Let's see if we can't get started.

 

If you have a game going, and wouldn't mind people watching, kindly post a link somewhere here, and I'll add it to this post.

So far we have:

 

Me vs Rainspren:  http://www.chess.com...me?id=100623568

me vs luckat: http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=101916342

I used to be decent at it, but that was at least ten years ago, when I was playing competitively. I haven't been playing at all in the intervening years, and when I reinstalled the Chessmaster program for fun a couple of months ago, I got thoroughly curbstomped (not that I was expecting any different...)

 

I wouldn't mind playing but I probably wouldn't give anyone a challenge at this stage :P

Yeah, it's free. They'll send you a bunch of chess-related mail to make you feel like a friendless loser, but marking it as spam gets rid of it quickly enough. Other than that, it's pretty much a ten second process.

I like feeling like a friendless loser so i'll eventually get around to making an account.

As I said, I am registered as Deathguardian97. I think I used my spam E-mail of [email protected] to set it up. If you go to the "invite a friend" tab and attempt to invite that E-mail, it will inform you that I'm already a member. That'll take you to my profile and let you challenge me. Anybody else who wants to be bombarded with challenges from the Shard, feel free to post your usernames here as well.

For those who want to see the game: http://www.chess.com...me?id=100623568


And if by some miracle you're on while we're both making moves, it won't auto-update. You'll have to make do by pushing F5 repeatedly while our screens show the game live, suckers.  :)


 


(Reposting because I somehow accidentally hid my last post. Don't ask. More or less recreated I think.)
