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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:39 (nineteen years ago) link

you're just a liar

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:40 (nineteen years ago) link

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:41 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:44 (nineteen years ago) link

lies, more lies, and statistics

SMELL THE ARROGANCE

― The Model Rick Martell (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:45 (nineteen years ago) link

smell the unconventional mathematics

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:48 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

TW + TL = SHA UP

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 09:06 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 09:07 (nineteen years ago) link

still doesn't add up.

good luck!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 09:08 (nineteen years ago) link

i'll show you

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 09:13 (nineteen years ago) link

argh, i was an idiot for exposing my rook

― $V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:12 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

let the mayhem commence

― $V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:22 (nineteen years ago) link

and that.

― Alix with an I ? (alix), Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:23 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm back if anyone fancies a game.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:31 (nineteen years ago) link

REVENGEH

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 11 April 2005 19:14 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 11 April 2005 19:15 (nineteen years ago) link

BRING IT ONSKI.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 11 April 2005 19:17 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 19:42 (nineteen years ago) link

nobody likes losing to me.

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 11 April 2005 21:39 (nineteen years ago) link

no, your cockiness.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 21:45 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

I suspect so.

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

: (((

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:00 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:02 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

I need to study endgames, now.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:17 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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.

― Greig (treefell), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha, battle of the losers.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I am the Aston Villa of chess.

― $V£N! (blueski), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:49 (nineteen years ago) link

nay life

― $V£N! (blueski), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:49 (nineteen years ago) link

the Aston Villa of chess

change your name to this, now

― The Horse of Babylon's Butler (the pirate king), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:50 (nineteen years ago) link

6 games won, 7 lost. i keep rechallenging casuistry even though he beats me every time...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 21:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I am so looking forward to afterfinals CHESS BONZANZA.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 14 April 2005 01:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Julia got me this time! Blindsided me when I thought I was being all clever.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 16 April 2005 23:49 (nineteen years ago) link

i was all proud of my knight positioning but then it so seemed like you were going to get me before i was going to be able to take advantage of it....

but not so! yay.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Saturday, 16 April 2005 23:55 (nineteen years ago) link

you should see my knight positioning in my game vs cathy.

― ken c (ken c), Sunday, 17 April 2005 11:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Cute, Ken, very cute.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Sunday, 17 April 2005 20:58 (nineteen years ago) link

BASTARD. if only i'd moved my bishop and not the king. cursed feeble brain.

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 18 April 2005 11:40 (nineteen years ago) link

that's four people now i just can't pwn

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 18 April 2005 11:42 (nineteen years ago) link

I could taste the death! I made one bad move early on and one pointless move in the middle and by all rights you should have had me, but when you moved your king so that it wasn't protecting your bishop then it was all lost for you. I had to keep remembering that you were a move or two away from mating me, though.
