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

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...

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Game name
stevem vs rjg

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

― $V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:22 (twenty-one years ago)

and that.

― Alix with an I ? (alix), Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:23 (twenty-one years ago)

well done.

it only took you a further 20 moves after I stupidly let you have my queen.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm back if anyone fancies a game.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:31 (twenty-one years ago)

REVENGEH

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 11 April 2005 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

RJG, you allowed me to get cocky, please do not do that again.

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 11 April 2005 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

BRING IT ONSKI.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 11 April 2005 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think I have anything to do with your cockiness (like "your majesty").

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

nobody likes losing to me.

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 11 April 2005 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

no, your cockiness.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I have finished 10 games so far, and lost 8, drawn 1 and won 1. Am I the worst chesser on ILX?

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I suspect so.

― The Horse of Babylon's Butler (the pirate king), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

: (((

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

you're way better than stevem cathy - i've beaten him 4 times already

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I have done some good moves in almost all these games, I just can't seem to win any. The last couple I lost (against non-ILXors), I was totally about to win like the next move and then somehow they managed to checkmate me.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I played a few games yesterday on Yahoo (because you lot are too slow sometimes) and I had sort of the opposite situation -- I would be down a piece or two but I would nail them in the endgame. Perhaps I was playing "positional" or maybe I just have been studying endgames a smidge.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I need to study endgames, now.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I want to re-challenge you, Casuistry, you're the only one to beat me, but I've got six games on the go right now. (xpost)

― The Horse of Babylon's Butler (the pirate king), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I've played five matches against ilxors and lost four (and the one I won was down to a mistake by my opponent). In total I've completed 9 matches on redhotpawn and I've lost all but the one. In both my current games I would say that I'm heading towards defeat...
So I would highly doubt that Cathy's the worst at chess on ilx.
I've just started a game against you Cathy, that will prove that you're not the worst.
