I'm not very good at chess, but I've signed up anyway. Username is treefell

― Greig (treefell), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 11:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I've just signed up: pawnimo

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 13:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Someone challenge me too! I'm "starryschessclub"!

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I am too ashamed of my poor chess skills to join in.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:49 (nineteen years ago) link

someone explain to me how this works...

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:51 (nineteen years ago) link

the horsey moves two along and one across, the dirty vicar moves diagonally, freddy mercury goes as far as and to whatever direction he damn well pleases, whereas elvis is so fat he can only move one square at a time. castles, on the other hand despite being inanimate objects, can move in straight lines, the pwns move forward and then get killed, hence the name

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 00:06 (nineteen years ago) link

i was really disappointed that there was no freddy mercury piece....

i'm being pole-axed

I am so fucking LAME at Scrabble! Ken has me IN A VICE!!

VICE I TELL YOU!!!

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Sorry, chess, I mean! I'm not used to playing a new game!

(Anyone fancy an ISC date at lunchtime? SOWPODS, 13 mins void?)

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:49 (nineteen years ago) link

this is a really good interface. all it needs is a duel-style face-slap animation to pop up when you challenge someone.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:55 (nineteen years ago) link

God. I am blushing at my desk about how awful I am at chess. I might go to Chess and Bridge at lunchtime to pick up a beginners guide to NOT BEING BLUDDY AWFUL at chess. Aw maaan.

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:56 (nineteen years ago) link

i am now making it worse, yaaaaaay

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:04 (nineteen years ago) link

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I want a rematch with ken!

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:44 (nineteen years ago) link

i challenged you yesterday for it and you didn't reply.. i think i'm full at the moment (but the game with starry will be over soon i think ;))

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh sod off you geek!!

*flounces back to Scrabble*

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:41 (nineteen years ago) link

can't they combine Scrabble and Chess somehow?

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:45 (nineteen years ago) link

triple check score!!

I have played the Jamaican chess champion, and received a total pWning(he's a busker in the city streets of Melbourne) It rocks out, I desire a chess clock.

― Nellie (nellskies), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:52 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm on the ropes against both greg and ken now - thrilling stuff

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:02 (nineteen years ago) link

I am enjoying this.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:25 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't get it, can't the castle take the queen here to avoid the resignation?

chess game analysis is abt as dorky as it gets (edit: well, there is go game analysis...)

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:34 (nineteen years ago) link

castle takes queen, horsey to F7 checkmate

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:36 (nineteen years ago) link

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:38 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm crap really! i just get lucky sometimes.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:43 (nineteen years ago) link

like with the bowling eh?

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:46 (nineteen years ago) link

I've just played two games of Scrabble and pwn3d in both, time to come back to the final death throes of my not quite so stellar chess career...

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 14:57 (nineteen years ago) link

like with the bowling eh?

i'm like that with most things really as a matter of fact!! :D

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 17:35 (nineteen years ago) link

― kephm, Wednesday, 16 March 2005 17:45 (nineteen years ago) link

signed on as kephm. my game is so poor right now

― kephm, Wednesday, 16 March 2005 17:46 (nineteen years ago) link

The delay between turns really lets you savour just how bad a mistake you've made with your last move. Oh yes.

― Greig (treefell), Thursday, 17 March 2005 11:42 (nineteen years ago) link

yes, a slow agonising death at the hands of tiefschwarz is certainly being 'savoured'

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Thursday, 17 March 2005 11:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Casuitry's massive positional advantage is now countered by my crushing one-pawn lead! I'm really enjoying all these games.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 17 March 2005 13:08 (nineteen years ago) link

it's good fun.

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 17 March 2005 13:09 (nineteen years ago) link

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 17 March 2005 13:09 (nineteen years ago) link

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 17 March 2005 15:09 (nineteen years ago) link

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Thursday, 17 March 2005 15:56 (nineteen years ago) link

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Thursday, 17 March 2005 16:07 (nineteen years ago) link

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Thursday, 17 March 2005 16:07 (nineteen years ago) link
