C@sH Mooney · May 12, 2008

Sign me up plz.

~N9NE~ · May 13, 2008

Unknown, where you at? Let's get this game going =D

Wikipedia · May 15, 2008

I updated the first page with the pools and links to all the games if you guys want to check them out.

~N9NE~ · May 15, 2008

Come on KevinM and unknownforce!

I don't me and Wikipedia winning our respective games by resignation.

Wikipedia · Jun 15, 2008

I blame this all on KevinM. Continue playing if you are still in it.

KevinM · Jun 15, 2008

I've had a lot of stuff going on thanks much sir <_<

~N9NE~ · Nov 17, 2008

Apologies for the bump, but it's better then making a new thread.

Does anyone still use the site? I've gotten back into it since the summer and would be up for any games or tournaments if enough people are interested.

Wikipedia · Nov 17, 2008

That's funny, I just got back into chess again too.

My real chess.com user name is DukeRebuke, not Wikipedia. Challenge me on that one.

ZeroFox · Nov 17, 2008

Uh oh, looks like I missed it by months lol.

I miss playing chess...

Overload · Nov 17, 2008

Man I wish I knew about this. . . I would've joined. Do another!

Yes! That would be a wonderful idea!

I didn't even know this occurred until the thread got mysteriously bumped up...

~N9NE~ · Nov 17, 2008

I'm busy tonight with assignments but I'll challenge you tomorrow Wiki.

People interested in participating in future tournaments should join Chess.com in order to be able to play. Be sure to sign up to Chess.com with the same username as your Smashboards one to avoid confusion.

Overload · Nov 17, 2008

I'm going to sign up for chess.com right now.
EDIT: gah Overload was taken so I had to use 0verload instead

Tomato Kirby · Nov 17, 2008

Hmmm, I guess I should register.

So I just go here and sign up?

Matunas · Nov 17, 2008

I'm in on this. Someone should PM me if we actually get some kind of tournament going.

thesage · Nov 17, 2008

What openings do guys like using black? I suck at opening with black.

dawgbowl · Nov 17, 2008

dawgbowl has registered.

Wikipedia · Nov 18, 2008

Woah, might chess make a comeback at SWF?

For black, I like playing the Sicilian and French.

thesage · Nov 18, 2008

I don't know the names, just tell me which pawn/knight I move first and then I got it.

A6M Zero · Nov 18, 2008

Sure, I'll play.

For the record, White = King's Gambit or Yugoslav

Black = Sicilian or Budapest Gambit

In a perfect chess world...all games as white would be KGs and all games as black would be Traxlers.

~N9NE~ · Nov 18, 2008

Glad to see all the interest.

Anyone up for a game right now?

Overswarm · Nov 18, 2008

Anyone want to play an Overswarm?

Overload · Dec 1, 2008

Overswarm I'll play you.

Also, whoever plays chess feel free to join the Smashboards Chess Club .

Wikipedia · Dec 2, 2008

I challenged you on chess.com, Overswarm. At least, I am assuming Overswarm on chess.com is you.

Also, good game N9NE, too bad you lost to a single tactic I pulled on you (move 19), unlucky. Good match otherwise.

Here is our game if anyone wants to see it: http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=11132111

Tom nom nom nom! said:
when i was a senior in high school, a freshman beat me in chess while blindfolded. About halfway through I didn't believe him, so he turned around and kept playing. It was ridiculous, he would just say his move out loud and my friend would move them for him.

Then I felt really stupid, but we started talking about ****, and one thing led to another, and then I beat him in Pokemon FR/LG. =D go go tom go!

I know this is from months ago, but wow, it's like in Hikaru no Go. So you just told him where you moved?

B-Will · Dec 2, 2008

It's been a while, duke, since I've last made love to you...I mean, have last spoken to you. How have you been?

btw... I'm in for the next chess tourney.

Wikipedia · Dec 2, 2008

Awwwww yeeah B-Will is back. We should catch up on AIM sometime.

It sounds like there is good feedback for another tournament. Do we want to do another one? Do we want to do it on chess.com? Or do we want to just set up the bracket and have people finish at their leisure on any chess site and just record who won? There are drawbacks to this, ties will be hard to calculate and chess.com tournaments have an automatic tie breaking system.

What do we want to do?

~N9NE~ · Dec 2, 2008

Yeah good game Wiki, well played. Funny thing is the exact same thing happened next game.

I'm up for any tourneys.

Mazaloth · Dec 2, 2008

I love chess.

~N9NE~ · Dec 3, 2008

http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=11734106

lol. I'm getting into live chess on Chess.com now.

Hey Wiki, why don't we use live chess on chess.com to play games? It would be much faster and allow people with time constraints to get involved.

Doesn't matter. Chess.com, yahoo... it won't change the fact that I am going to be the one who comes out on top.

cman · Dec 3, 2008

Is there another tournament happening? If so, i'd like to join. I'm not too good, but i like playing. My account name is cman17

Wikipedia · Dec 4, 2008

Yeah, chess.com's live chess feature is great (when it doesn't crash in the middle of games which is more frequent than it should be). But that still doesn't address the issue of calculating ties. If you actually use the tournament set up for chess.com it will calculate all of the groups, eliminations, points and tie breaks.

MASAHIROx · Dec 4, 2008

im down sign me upp XD

Overload · Dec 4, 2008

What do you guys think of yahoo chess?
also, if you haven't already, feel free to join the smashboards chess club.

I personally like yahoo chess a lot; it's the only site that I have played chess on.

It never crashes so it's pretty reliable.

I don't know how it compares to chess.com. It sounds like that chess.com offers more features, from what I can tell from Duke's post.

I'm open to trying a new site.

Overload · Dec 4, 2008

I've been to chess.com, but I prefer yahoo

~N9NE~ · Dec 4, 2008

Yeah the chess.com tournament options are more convenient then the live chess.

Alright, there's clearly alot of interest. Shall we start gathering a list of people down for the tourny?
The following are clearly interested:

Wikipedia
N9NE
0verload
Tomato Kirby
Matunas
dawgbowl
A6M Zero
B-Will
MASAHIROx
cman17

How are we going to do this, chess.com, yahoo? Come on guys lets get this rolling.

Overload · Dec 4, 2008

Personally, I'd prefer yahoo. Maybe we should vote?

~N9NE~ · Dec 4, 2008

Just tried yahoo. Prefer chess.com by far.
