(i'm slow like that!)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:14 (nineteen years ago) link

this is too SLOW

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:25 (nineteen years ago) link

I think that is chess' biggest problem. It takes AGES.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:25 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah.. i mean it can potentially 3 days per move on this thing

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:38 (nineteen years ago) link

i avenged my horsey's tragic death

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:49 (nineteen years ago) link

You know when you do a move, and the very second you click 'Move' you go "oh shit that was a fucking stupid move"?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:51 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah i know it, cos it happens every time i click "move"

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:52 (nineteen years ago) link

blimey i think i see what you mean.

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:54 (nineteen years ago) link

you seem to be doing ok to me, ambrose.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Sorry I had to leave work, Cathy! I'm checking in now but I won't really be back on for a few hours...

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Quit alright. I should really go to bed. Ken has me in my death throes...

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Correction: dead throes.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:03 (nineteen years ago) link

That was a close game! Cathy has been the first person so far to make me feel scared about making the wrong move.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Whee! I'll be back tomorrow, with a vengeance. Goodnight.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:05 (nineteen years ago) link

night! i should go to bed too. and dream of horses.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:07 (nineteen years ago) link

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:12 (nineteen years ago) link

you are being a little bitch!

: )

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:16 (nineteen years ago) link

are you referring to my willingness to challenge, or the specifics of our game?
im anyones after a mint tea

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:18 (nineteen years ago) link

haha I ws referring to my own inability to make any headway and your ability to match anything and everything tht I try and then some.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:21 (nineteen years ago) link

ha! i had a plan 10 moves ago, but you seem unwilling to keep all your pieces as they were for the duration fo my masterplann, and kept on moving them out of the way :(

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:23 (nineteen years ago) link

sorry ambrose! :)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 03:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Man! I need to play chess more than once every 10 years.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 03:14 (nineteen years ago) link

I am back and ready for more CHESSEXINESS!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 18 March 2005 03:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah! Autumn gave me a chance to come up with an endgame and make it happen. I am usually very bad at endgames but I saw one this time. Thanks!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 18 March 2005 05:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I HATE CHESS.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 06:06 (nineteen years ago) link

And now the site's down oh dear what a shame.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 06:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey at least you know how to play it. I never learned. Ive no idea how to play chess AT ALL. I can play Go, but not chess. It's too logical or something.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 18 March 2005 06:11 (nineteen years ago) link

The castle's called a rook, the horsey's called a knight, the bishop bends sideways and the queen goes in every direction. That's all you need to know.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 06:13 (nineteen years ago) link

IM ALREADY CONFUSED.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 18 March 2005 06:14 (nineteen years ago) link

You need to read like a zillion books before you get really good at chess, but I read one book and it improved my game from very very bad to just very bad! And gave me a better sense of what is going on (although still, you know, not a terribly good one). I think it's by Bruce Pandolfini; I'll try to track it down if anyone's interested. It was not a thousand boring chess diagrams!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 18 March 2005 06:31 (nineteen years ago) link

it's all about the game, and how you play it

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 11:40 (nineteen years ago) link

so anyone else fancy a game?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 12:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I've just challenged you

― Greig (treefell), Friday, 18 March 2005 12:11 (nineteen years ago) link

cool!

i think today's going to mark the end of my undefeated record.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 12:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey, how do I send messages? I want to reply to Ambrose and Treefell!

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Friday, 18 March 2005 12:34 (nineteen years ago) link

starrychessclub is superfast!

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 12:41 (nineteen years ago) link

There's an option to the right of the board when it's your turn to send your opponent a message.

― Greig (treefell), Friday, 18 March 2005 13:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I have been reading a book.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 13:47 (nineteen years ago) link

seriously tho, fuck a knight-fork.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 14:24 (nineteen years ago) link

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 14:38 (nineteen years ago) link

ken had me on a three-way fork yesterday. queen king and rook i think. daaaaamn, i felt dumb.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:49 (nineteen years ago) link

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:57 (nineteen years ago) link
