Woo-hoo! SteveM bites the dust. Meanwhile Ken C keeps the game that will never end going...

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 4 April 2005 14:59 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

how do you delete your profile?

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 4 April 2005 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

You don't love me anymore.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 4 April 2005 20:50 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

we're still playing steve!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:00 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Sven Basted (blueski), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:08 (nineteen years ago) link

pressure?

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:13 (nineteen years ago) link

casual pressure

― Sven Basted (blueski), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:19 (nineteen years ago) link

queer pressure

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I cracked

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:29 (nineteen years ago) link

I crumbled

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:38 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:44 (nineteen years ago) link

nope! you can have anything you want!!

i really like horseys!!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:45 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:46 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:49 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 23:00 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

aw are you sad because you lost again? ;)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 23:08 (nineteen years ago) link

angry rather than sad

― Sven Basted (blueski), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 23:09 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:27 (nineteen years ago) link

don't read the Fantasy League thread...

how queer!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:34 (nineteen years ago) link

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

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

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:45 (nineteen years ago) link

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.
