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

― Greig (treefell), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 11:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I've just signed up: pawnimo

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

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

cozen

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

someone explain to me how this works...

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:51 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― Dr. Eldon Tyrell (ex machina), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 04:26 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm being pole-axed

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

i am now making it worse, yaaaaaay

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:04 (twenty-one years ago)

oh my god i cant believe i entered this. i was drunk last night. i am appalling at chess!

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

excellent

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:24 (twenty-one years ago)

*bangs head against desk*

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I want a rematch with ken!

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh sod off you geek!!

*flounces back to Scrabble*

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

can't they combine Scrabble and Chess somehow?

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:45 (twenty-one years ago)

triple check score!!

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:48 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I am enjoying this.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

castle takes queen, horsey to F7 checkmate

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:36 (twenty-one years ago)

dude I'm not playing you.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

like with the bowling eh?

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

signed on as kephm. will be looking for some game manana

― kephm, Wednesday, 16 March 2005 17:45 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― kephm, Wednesday, 16 March 2005 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Thursday, 17 March 2005 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

it's good fun.

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 17 March 2005 13:09 (twenty-one years ago)

give you something else to check, along with e-mails.

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 17 March 2005 13:09 (twenty-one years ago)

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 17 March 2005 14:00 (twenty-one years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 17 March 2005 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Rematch?

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Thursday, 17 March 2005 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

yes but you could've prolonged that last game a bit longer, for da sport

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Thursday, 17 March 2005 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

(like i am now doing against Ken)

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Thursday, 17 March 2005 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 17 March 2005 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

― lag∞n, Saturday, 28 December 2024 00:27 (one year ago)

anyone been watching the take take take youtube chess channel ? they’re endearingly ragtag, though they’ve clearly got some backing money behind them. for today’s world blitz final they’ve got a live in-studio soundtrack from a couple of norwegian beardy space disco types
