Chess anyone?

Hello! I have been thinking it might be fun to get an on-line chess game going. (I don’t know if there is a website for that sort of thing though) Cheers!

 

I think you can play chess etc on Yahoo, either via the website or messenger.

 

Hello! Thank you for the quick reply – I will probably check those sites out. I kind of thought it would make it more fun to play chess with members of the Hip Forum.

 

I think you can even set up your own little leagues and things!

I'm not so good at chess...way better at Chinese Checkers

 

eternal "wood pusher" myself. been ages since i played anyone though.
never sufficiently obsessed to become any good at the '64 square madhouse'.
used to look 16 to 20 moves deep when i was MUCH younger.
just haven't felt worth the bother or interest for years.

you know, in adolescence i was a bit captivated by some of the romantic mystique, which i still think is pretty cool. more so any more then the actual 'game' itself.

i have my own and other obsessions now, which is the reason.

over the years i have come to find anything incapable of simulating anything other then combat, to put it generously, at the very least, somewhat less then entirely gratifying.

i love at chess but i suck so bad i almost lost when i was teaching it to someone.

 

Hello! Last night I was talking to my son in Alberta and he said he might be into this chess thing and I bet he would rule the league.

I have not played chess in 3 years and most of the games I played were with my youngest son. The best I could do was stretch the game out for a couple of hours (instead of getting killed in the first 5 minutes)

I have never played electronic chess but what I am going to start doing is – make some space by my computer – dust off and set up my chess board – find out what the #rs on the boards squares would be and get some tape and # the squares on my board - then when I am playing a chess game on line I will make the same moves on my home board.



Any way if it is left to me it will take forever to set up a league I’m stupid at that sort of think.

(took me forever to set up an e-mail account.) So if anyone can set up one of those leagues maybe we could be playing a game in a week or so. Cheers!

 

I've always wanted to learn how to play...

 

while iam here so add me to the buddie thing ready still dont know much about this place so you will have to explain a little more k

 

If anyone hear wants to play online or through the mail I will play. You need to know algebraic notation which is really easy to learn. I play games via mail in tournaments from the USCF. That's the United States Chess Federation. Membership dues are required to enter tournaments. I don't play on yahoo anymore because people either cheat or don't finish their games. Let me know if you are interested. I am playing 3 people now in the mail; two games a piece no pun intended.

 

My son and I would love to get a few friendly games of chess going with you and we won’t cheat and we will finish our games. So could you please set up a league and give us a link so we cane get it going faster? Cheers!
(PS: Whats algebraic notation ?)

 

Hey Andy Im ready and I think the games on now. Cheers!

 

Does anyone want to play a game with me? My rating is about 1200.

 

If you want to play me a game or two; we can get a computer board set up on the USCF "United states Chess Federation". The compute tracks all the moves so you don't need to know algebraic notation. You just need a membership and then 7 dollars for a game. We just give our email addresses, and they send us the link to the board.

 

I'll play you.

you just want to play in the thread?

 

hahahaha chess i good way to understand the movements and positions of people in life and why they are there in those positions

jk yeah chess is a good game to play

 

Ok. This is how it can go. You we set up a board at both ends, and then send moves by the easiest method which is algebraic notation. You can find that on the internet pretty easy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_chess_notation and if you need help I can help you. Then we just decided who gets white.
