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

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

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)

I'm getting worse by the second.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:39 (twenty-one years ago)

god ken is pasting me. im in check within about 3 moves or soemthing

― 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)

chess is a really fun game.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:05 (twenty-one years ago)

cathy kidnapped my horsey! :(

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Not kidnapped, ken, KILLED.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

this is war!!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

(i'm slow like that!)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

this is too SLOW

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I think that is chess' biggest problem. It takes AGES.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:25 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah.. i mean it can potentially 3 days per move on this thing

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Who's noonyontour?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i think ive exhausted all my strategic nous thinking that i was totally gonna bomb cozen.

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i avenged my horsey's tragic death

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:49 (twenty-one years ago)

You know when you do a move, and the very second you click 'Move' you go "oh shit that was a fucking stupid move"?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:51 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah i know it, cos it happens every time i click "move"

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:52 (twenty-one years ago)

blimey i think i see what you mean.

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:54 (twenty-one years ago)

you seem to be doing ok to me, ambrose.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry I had to leave work, Cathy! I'm checking in now but I won't really be back on for a few hours...

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Quit alright. I should really go to bed. Ken has me in my death throes...

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Correction: dead throes.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:03 (twenty-one years ago)

That was a close game! Cathy has been the first person so far to make me feel scared about making the wrong move.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Whee! I'll be back tomorrow, with a vengeance. Goodnight.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:05 (twenty-one years ago)

night! i should go to bed too. and dream of horses.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:07 (twenty-one years ago)

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:12 (twenty-one years ago)

you are being a little bitch!

: )

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

are you referring to my willingness to challenge, or the specifics of our game?
im anyones after a mint tea

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

haha I ws referring to my own inability to make any headway and your ability to match anything and everything tht I try and then some.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:21 (twenty-one years ago)

ha! i had a plan 10 moves ago, but you seem unwilling to keep all your pieces as they were for the duration fo my masterplann, and kept on moving them out of the way :(

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:23 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry ambrose! :)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 March 2005 03:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Man! I need to play chess more than once every 10 years.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I am back and ready for more CHESSEXINESS!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 18 March 2005 03:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah! Autumn gave me a chance to come up with an endgame and make it happen. I am usually very bad at endgames but I saw one this time. Thanks!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 18 March 2005 05:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I HATE CHESS.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 06:06 (twenty-one years ago)

And now the site's down oh dear what a shame.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 18 March 2005 06:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey at least you know how to play it. I never learned. Ive no idea how to play chess AT ALL. I can play Go, but not chess. It's too logical or something.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 18 March 2005 06:11 (twenty-one years ago)

The castle's called a rook, the horsey's called a knight, the bishop bends sideways and the queen goes in every direction. That's all you need to know.
