jesus christ that's my third consecutive stupid mistake in a row (see also Casuistry and Sundar), the games are moving too slow for me to be able to concentrate properly ;)

― Sven Basted (blueski), Sunday, 3 April 2005 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

If any of the moves I've made is halfway clever, it's because the game is so slow.

Once I get back from travels next week I hope to be challenged to a whole new round of games.

Hey, also, there's a setting somewhere that lets you change the number of simultaneous games you can play. In case Cathy (or whoever it was?) needs more chesstimulation.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 4 April 2005 10:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I actually won a match! Mind you I'm convinced Ambrose would have won if he hadn't given his queen away at move 30.
I thought I had managed to arrange things to get a sneaky checkmate against Jules a couple of moves back only to realize that I had completely ignored one of her pieces and now I'm just fighting to try and get a draw.

Anyway I'm up for more matches if anyone feels like it. I have the fabulous record of won 1 lost 4...

Thanks Casuistry, I hadn't looked at the settings page. I just changed to the Medieval set, I wonder if it will put me off.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 4 April 2005 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

The kid's set is so cute but so useless...

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 4 April 2005 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

So I realize the statistical sample is too small to mean anything really, but I seem to do much better as black than as white.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 4 April 2005 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

how do you delete your profile?

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 4 April 2005 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

You don't love me anymore.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 4 April 2005 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

omg! my undefeated streak carries on!

i want to see how many horseys i can get onto a board

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

my defeated streak continues - six consecutive losses now i think, but piling the pressure on Cathy and RJG...

― Sven Basted (blueski), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

we're still playing steve!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

yeh but i don't expect to beat you, yet

― Sven Basted (blueski), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

pressure?

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:13 (twenty-one years ago)

casual pressure

― Sven Basted (blueski), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

queer pressure

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I cracked

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I crumbled

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought you got a queen for getting a pawn to the other end...?

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

nope! you can have anything you want!!

i really like horseys!!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

(anything apart from another king - which would be good!)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Enough of this horsey-torture. My king is going to resign in a huff.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still figuring out what to do with all those horses!!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

let it be known now that i am sad enough to want to compile an ILX league table

― Sven Basted (blueski), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 23:07 (twenty-one years ago)

aw are you sad because you lost again? ;)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 23:08 (twenty-one years ago)

angry rather than sad

― Sven Basted (blueski), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't realise that you were taking this so seriously, stevem.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:27 (twenty-one years ago)

don't read the Fantasy League thread...

Game state
In progress

how queer!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:34 (twenty-one years ago)

i think in the league you should get extra points for each horse remaining at the end of the game.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:34 (twenty-one years ago)

there will be humble pie all over my face now if i do not triumph.

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:39 (twenty-one years ago)

you're just a liar

: (

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:40 (twenty-one years ago)

which game?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:41 (twenty-one years ago)

oh.

xpost

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:41 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry, I should have just said "your statistics don't add up".

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:44 (twenty-one years ago)

lies, more lies, and statistics

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:45 (twenty-one years ago)

SMELL THE ARROGANCE

― The Model Rick Martell (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:45 (twenty-one years ago)

smell the unconventional mathematics

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i got carried away by the prospect of actually winning a game. like Mogwai my math is sound.

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:56 (twenty-one years ago)

TW = 7

TL = 10

TP = 19

but TW + TL = 17 = the real TP and your TW, from your "stats", = 8, not 7??

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 09:03 (twenty-one years ago)

TW + TL = SHA UP

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 09:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i'd initially included games i was playing with non-ilxors. yes, that was it.

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 09:07 (twenty-one years ago)

still doesn't add up.

good luck!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 09:08 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll show you

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 09:13 (twenty-one years ago)

argh, i was an idiot for exposing my rook

― $V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Will you play me at the weekend? On the actual chess board? Oh go on. You're guaranteed a win.

― Alix with an I ? (alix), Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

let the mayhem commence
