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.

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.

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)

― 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...

like with the bowling eh?

― 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)

― 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)

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 17 March 2005 21:21 (twenty-one years ago)

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 17 March 2005 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

oh hello

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 17 March 2005 21:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Whenever I make a move that I think is at all clever (usually because I decided not to make some dumb move) then it takes FOREVER before you lot respond to it.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 17 March 2005 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I am enjoying playing against you, ambrose.

haha cozen nice one mate!

huh?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 17 March 2005 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i once got two queens ahead of my opponent - ie i had three and he had one, other pieces more or less equal

i then proceeded to lose all three queens AND the game

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 17 March 2005 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

argh i get the feeling i am being drawn to the edge of the abyss, a cavalry charge bouyed by earlu success and seemingly unhindered forays into enemy territory, only for annihilation to ensue

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 17 March 2005 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

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

it was funny!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe Cathy just trash-talked me! I didn't even realize it was an option! ;-)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:13 (twenty-one years ago)

(Within the game, that is.)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:13 (twenty-one years ago)

you haven't been sledging? it's half the fun.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I have to use intimidation tactics, to compensate for never thinking more than half a move ahead.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:19 (twenty-one years ago)

cathy's good at this game

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:35 (twenty-one years ago)

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:40 (twenty-one years ago)

that was mercifully short.

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I am not going to bed until I win.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I am also bad at chess.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:01 (twenty-one years ago)
