I play blitz on chess.com sometimes, but if you guys are throwing down another tournament Im definitely in, I've never played in an online tourney.

my name is jugfingers on chess.com, don't think I have a standard game rating cause I only play like 5 minute games though.

Spare us DMG! Jk, I wouldn't mind playing a couple more games with you, even if I'd lose. BTW, have you and jason played your five games yet? I wasn't near a computer for most of the weekend, so I couldn't check and see.

The best I can do is correspondence, I really don't have the time to sit down for a full game. If you'd rather do that, I can delete the request. Sorry, that's all I can do.

Actually thats completely fine. We can do a correspondence or w'e its called, thats fine. Although for anyone else who is interested in playing, I would prefer live games!

EnigmaticCam, I just accepted your correspondence game, so its your turn to kick it off. Hopefully I remember to check back regularly. Phen, I added you on the site, hit me up on AIM at some point if you want to play:

You can send messages on the site in various places. In live game chat room, while you are playing, etc.

any interested in getting better at chess might want to check kingscrushers youtube channel

youtube.com/kingscrusher he used to post analysis on super GM games like fischer and kasparov etc, and still does on like modern GM's like carlsen, anand and the likes, but also posts usually on a daily basis live commentary on his own 5 min blitz games on the ICC which can be very entertaining and he is a very good blitz player, not uncommonly beatins IM's and even GM's sometimes, he also posts his own matches in fide tournaments, including the london open which he just played in beating a few FM's and drawing with a high reated IM but yea he does really good analysis and is definitely my favourite chess commentator


also youtube.com/greencastblock has some good videos, he has sort of stopped playing I think and is nowhere as good as kingscrusher but has some entertaining and informative videos.

Yeah the London Chess Classic. Went on Sunday, Carlsen won on the day I went, I think he also won the tournament overall.

Was my first experience of something like that. Kind of strange because I didn't know what to expect, but I enjoyed it. Played in a blitz tournament too. Good day overall.

Oh you're hella lucky. I've always wanted to see a large international tourney like this. And yeah, Carlsen was doing hella good, he's fifth and youngest person to go over FIDE 2800. Guess having Kasparov as your coach helps a lot:)

I think Kasparov was better positionally than Fischer, but maybe not tactically.

Well, I believe that Kasparov would beat Fischer in a match, and that Kasparov is a better player overall. But that match would still be the most epic chess match-up ever. Too bad Fischer went all crazy, he was a great player.

And remember Kasparov saying that he regrets never playing or even knowing Fischer.
