ken c (ken c), Friday, 4 November 2005 17:09 (eighteen years ago) link

roof?? lol rook

ken c (ken c), Friday, 4 November 2005 17:09 (eighteen years ago) link

looks like it's mating season again..

ken c (ken c), Monday, 7 November 2005 15:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Shockingly bad. Failed to see I was obviously about to lose to Ken, meanwhile gave away a rook, then my queen, and then a bishop against Steve.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 00:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Wooo I just got my ranking! 1525 - FEAR ME!

Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 11 November 2005 16:24 (eighteen years ago) link

wow dude!

fancy a game?

ken c (ken c), Friday, 11 November 2005 16:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm sure you'll fix that, eh? my username's "Thermo Thinwall".

Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 11 November 2005 16:45 (eighteen years ago) link

i dunno - your ranking's higher than mine!

ken c (ken c), Friday, 11 November 2005 16:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I've challenged you again thinwall

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Very good, sir.
I will respond to these when I get home from work.

Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:30 (eighteen years ago) link

one month passes...
I boo your ghetto-ass timeout victory - IS THAT THE ONLY WAY YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME?

Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 9 January 2006 05:14 (eighteen years ago) link

You had ten days!

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 9 January 2006 11:19 (eighteen years ago) link

did you send a reminder?

i'm up for another game if anyone fancies.

ken c (ken c), Monday, 9 January 2006 12:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I also scored a timeout victory against Thermo. And yes, it's the only way I can beat him. And yes, I sent a reminder. And yes, it still counts as a VICTORY.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Monday, 9 January 2006 16:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Ten days? Even Anthony Miccio does not wait so long to make a move.

öROXYMUZAKö (roxymuzak), Monday, 9 January 2006 20:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i bet he gets tonnes of reminders

ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 03:40 (eighteen years ago) link

It was the fucking holidays! I was busy!

Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 05:17 (eighteen years ago) link

That's what Anthony Miccio said.

öROXYMUZAKö (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 18:56 (eighteen years ago) link

but in my case it actually was the holidays.

Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 19:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Casuistry - I'm glad you resigned, I was filled with rising panic I was going to lose that one.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Thursday, 19 January 2006 08:55 (eighteen years ago) link

this thread made me hate chess. and life.

the kit! (g-kit), Thursday, 19 January 2006 08:58 (eighteen years ago) link

hax tbh

the kit! (g-kit), Thursday, 19 January 2006 08:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Nah, your pawn was going to promote, and it would have been very easy for you to defeat my last-ditch attempt at salvaging my game.

Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 January 2006 00:58 (eighteen years ago) link

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 03:09 (six years ago) link

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 04:11 (six years ago) link

playing 5+3 blitz p cool

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 04:26 (six years ago) link

Is it better to learn chess by actually learning or just start playing blitz online and do it over and over until things start to make sense

direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Thursday, 15 February 2018 05:24 (six years ago) link

the general consensus seems to be some mixture of study play and puzzles, ive def played way more than the other two and my study consists of watching youtube videos and am not very good lol, i aspire to learn some openings some day

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:08 (six years ago) link

lichess has a cool feature where after your game is over you can review the game with the computer telling you all about the best moves that you shdve done def a good learning practice especially if you had a spot that blew up in yr face, i messed mate in two then got owned the other day i was kinda steaming tbh

brutal

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:14 (six years ago) link

it actually wldve been pretty even if they made the right moves but if they didnt and i did, man lol

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:15 (six years ago) link

have been moderately obsessed with chess for a couple of years now

it is obviously a colossal waste of time and mental energy but it's fun

w/e i kind of want to give it up

if N takes N there, what is the refutation of Q retakes N?

imago, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:17 (six years ago) link

youd just have to take the d5 pawn i think

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:19 (six years ago) link

fwiw i dont think its a waste of time its fun and also good for your mental acuity

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:20 (six years ago) link

then I sac my shitty bishop on B7 and pick up your other knight a move later. or do you not take the bishop?

imago, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:24 (six years ago) link

'a move later' I mean it's the same move so not a sac at all rly

imago, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:32 (six years ago) link

Nxf6 Qxf6
Qxd5 Bb7

then maybe

Qxb7 Qxg5

or??

imago, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:33 (six years ago) link

engine says yr white sq bishop to f5 then i take w my white bishop then queen takes knight bishop to e4 then trade queens and im up three pawns

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:37 (six years ago) link

after the madness

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:38 (six years ago) link

just noticed you're two sodding pains up, you push d5 stick a rook behind it and I probably resign xp

imago, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:39 (six years ago) link

def time to "push the pawns"

lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:41 (six years ago) link

well I have played Bb7 in the game so you'd have to deal with that lol (by exchanging N for B and pushing d5 obv :( )

imago, Thursday, 15 February 2018 16:42 (six years ago) link

gonna think of an insane Tal-esque tactic to disrupt your inexorable March to glory
