So you can play against other BETEO members. But remember, stand back from the chair. [laughs manically]

Your cruelty has caused me to regenerate. I hope you are happy.

I used to play club level chess. I had a Welsh Chess Federation rating (low 1400s I think). I beat a guy in our club who was a Candidate Master, once, under very unbalanced rules (I had five minutes on my clock and he had just one minute to play his entire game in. He made a mistake under time pressure.)

I'm shite at it.

I did leave a game open for someone to play against me but I guess there isn't the traffic tonight. Off to bed now. Ah well.

By the way, the quote at the start comes from an episode of Blakes 7 where a casino runs a lethal version of chess. See below.



Apparently in 1978 when that was shot it was considered a very advanced chess computer game they used for the graphics!

We'd be better off with a chess server that isn't realtime based, but emails you when it's your go. Like Scrabulous does. In fact, I'd also like to play Scrabble with Beexers too.

Wasn't there one discussed on WoS a while back? I know I joined one site along those lines but I'm damned if I can remember what it's called.

I like chess, and used to play a lot on Yahoo back in the day. Haven't played in years though, and am probably rubbish now.

I've used Chess at Work a few times. It worked quite well once I'd figured out how to switch off the constant game requests.

You. Fucking. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks.

LOL! PaWNT!

I was a reliable* Board 3-4 for my year most of my way through my school career, played a couple of tournaments with mixed success and even got a game with the county U19s when they were desperate for players. Laziness was, as usual, my biggest stumbling-block. My arsenal of openings as white stretched all the way to 2 - the Ruy Lopez and the King's Gambit. As black, I wasn't even that versatile. Haven't played in about a decade, so what meagre skills I had have no doubt atrophied to nothing by now.

* - In that I usually turned up.

Good oh. Let's play.

Just remembered the name of that site - Gameknot

Just play here.
I'll start.

You sunk my battleship

Brilliant. I've already beaten Joans

</modesty>
I reckon I could beat anyone here at chess.

Bring it

I'm distinctly average at chess. I'm a killer at Rummikub, mind.

This seems like a very nice site.

I suck at Chess and strategy in general. Just can't do it.

Anyone want to play for money?

It is. I (grimdotdotdot) am taking on Gaywood (who wasn't allowed to use 'gay' in his name).

Out of interest how many moves in advance do you chess types normally have stored up in your brains?

I ask because I get as far as about 2 and then my train of thought goes on to other things and I get dragged back to reality by a message flashing up on screen saying "The level 1 AI has beaten you - go and play something else. Thicky"

Depends on the stage of the game. Later on, when the options are narrower, I might be thinking 3-4 moves ahead if I'm on form.

At which point do you get her bra off?

I generally have the entire game mapped out in my head before I even know who my opponent is. Once I find that out, the singularities collapse to a single outcome, which is me losing. Normally in fewer than 10 moves.

Second base, duh!

That's the old-fashioned 'bases', it's been updates now. Second is a hand-job / fingering.

*weeps for the world*

I hate to spam the forum with more XKCD.... wait, no I don't, I love it.

Someone with more time energy than me work out the binary, would you?

Might as well chuck this in with it then

Oh yeah, "her" bra. You've been sussed, remember?

Sick filth. He hasn't got his tits out.

In anycase, how could anyone get aroused looking at that? What you need is a shot from the 80's with the big hair and a CPC in shot. Er... possibly.

977 Bananas.

You got bonus bananas for getting a 664 in. They're rare they are. And it only took me 2.5 years to convince Retro Gamer!

The game between Gaywood and I continues.

Gaywood is black, and it's his turn.

FeeX.

Looks a nice little site, that. I like the captured pieces (and pawns /chessnerd) at the bottom with the aggregate points total.

It has some nice features, like conditional moves and the ability to make notes to yourself. It also runs on the iPhone, just about.

Less good is the fact that 5 moves into our first game, it stopped letting Grim... into it and we had to start a new one. So far this one has been OK though, so perhaps it was a one off glitch.

I have resigned! After a slow opening, I built up a small positional advantage, but somewhere between the opening and the midgame I miscalculated and Grim... built up a material advantage that I didn't have an answer to. I could have rung it out a bit longer, but that seemed churlish when we could be playing a new game instead.

Anyone else want to play?

I'll have a game with you.

PM me a link or something.

(Let me have my moment, it won't last long)

I plan my moves so far ahead that I've lost games I've not even started yet.

Mohh! I think your game would improve if you read a book about openings but I'm not afraid to admit you flat-out outplayed me.

How did you get on with your Chess game?
