EoFF Chess!

[Goldenboko]

I'm going to try and organize a EoFF chess! Merely post if you want to play!

I have a really easy way that I can set this up off the top of my head.

Using yahoo chess, we can play set up times to play each other! The first match will be whoever VS. me. Then the winner will continue to play matches till they lose. The matches will be set up with agreed times. These times could be impulsive like "Hey lets go right now!" Or set it up like... "I can't play right now, but tomorrow night I'll be ready.

No Redos, but you can reface someone who already beat you if they beat 2 people after you.

Let's play some Chess!

Stickied maybe?


Edit: To use yahoo chess, all you need is a yahoo email account. Yahoo email is free so don't worry ;o

Double Edit: Also post even if there is already a schedualed match, this will go into a first come first serve basis. If you say "I want to play winner" then you'll get to play winner.

Triple Edit: If anyone thinks they have a better way to do this, please, do tell, I'd like an easier way too :D

Quad edit o.O: To get to where we will be playing follow directions

yahoo.com->games->board->chess->go now->play now->tab: beginner->learner's lounge 5

I'll cover setting up a game once I'm out of the hunt ;o

[Aerith's Knight]

Alright then, the first match will be against me. Are you ready now?

[Lawr]

I haven't actually thoughtfully played in a year, but this is going to be fun! :tongue:

I call next game.

[Goldenboko]

[Roto13]

It sounds complicated. :P Maybe a tournament bracket would be better.

[Goldenboko]

I wasn't sure if I would get enough people for a tournament. Its actually pretty simple. Its a play till you lose set up.

[Aerith's Knight]

could we hurry.. chess takes a long time and its already 2 am

[Goldenboko]

could we hurry.. chess takes a long time and its already 2 am

Did you follow my directions to the "Learner's Lounge 5"?

[Heath]

I'd be up for another EoFF Chess Tournament. I took part last time and didn't do as bad as I expected (I won a game) and I'm probably a better player now than I was then.

[Goldenboko]

Aerith's Knight beat me, I sucked pretty bad, but hopefully that'll shake off the rust off me :D

Anyway. That means Aerith's Knight V. Sagensyg is next. You two sheduale a time and I'll explain how you guys could create a private table for you to play once you have.

[Aerith's Knight]

i can go from tommorow *6 hours before now* to *time it is now*

.. annoying time difference..

[Lawr]

Yeah. I can play 17 Hours from now and maybe later on. I'd play right now, but I don't have that much time.

[The Unknown Guru]

Ugh, I suck at chess.

Sign me up :D

[Lawr]

OK, somewhat into Aerith's knight whooping my a**, our game glitched, so, GoBo (Or anyone), do you know where we could find somewhere better to play?

[Aerith's Knight]

yeah this aint working.. im making some great moves here.. and the stupid game breaks up.. man.. i dont play chess a lot but that usually ticks me off..

so get searching or i start plucking :)

[Goldenboko]

From what I understand you where trying to move a pawn while in check, which it won't let you do. And I figured out if it ever stops letting you move, just hit the undo button and have the person redo their move. And *poof* fixed.

[Vivisteiner]

Im amazing at Chess. (Not really, although I used to play for England when I was like 12, Im kinda rubbish now)


Sign me up.

[Lawr]

Some Pawn. (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/Sagensyg/error.jpg)

[Goldenboko]

wtf? That screen shot is impossible. there is no way his bishop could have gotten there.

But again, if he hits the undo button and he goes again he could fix this.

[Lawr]

That's what we did before that happened.

[Goldenboko]

That's what we did before that happened.

Then I don't know there where only 7 moves so restart... but explain how that screen shot is possible o.0

[Lawr]

OK heres the thing. The pieces weren't glitched and White Bishop was at c4. Then it was my turn and that blue box you see there was on one of the Pawns that started there. The blue square shows up for the last move done and I hadn't done anything yet, so I requested a redo. I did but nothing happened, so Aerith's knight also did a redo and nothing happened on MY screen except for all the pieces going back to the initial posi<b></b>tions and then the Bishop looked like it moved twice on my screen and landed at that same spot with the blue square, so far, it looks just like lag, but every other piece on the board was restarted on my screen so the Bishop had 'hopped' over the pawns in front of it and taken an extra turn. Aerith lost patience and wouldn't believe me and I took a screenshot.

Yeah just restart :p

Here's a tip, I noticed you had other things open, don't do that. The Chess tends to get glitchy if you do.

[Lawr]

OK I thought so. Darn Alice in Chains and their Them Bones. :exdee:

[Aerith's Knight]

fine okay.. sagensyg you win.. ive got some homework and stuff

[Goldenboko]

[Aerith's Knight]

[Goldenboko]

[Vivisteiner]

Just out of curiosity, how good are you guys at chess?

Do you ever play in tournaments and stuff like that?

Not real tournaments, but I did manage to hold first at Chess club for a few months.

PuPu kicks major ass at chess... which is why I'm glad he goes to Physics Club now, otherwise I'd never be in first :p

[Vivisteiner]

^Hehe...I used to play in all these random tournaments across the country with 4 hour matches! :eek:

Nowadays I play 2 and a half hours every week between schools. Im supposed to be 2nd best, so I play the 2nd best people in other schools and I lose almost all the time. :(

[rubah]

hey I'll play someone sometime (wednesday maybe?)

[Lawr]

Heath won of course. Beat the snap out of me.

[Goldenboko]

Alrighty then

Next Match

You two set up a time you can play.

[Goldenboko]

I've yet to hear from The Unknown Guru or Heath so...

I'll set up another match in the Mean time!

Match
Laddy V. ViViSteiner!

Sending out PMs now!

[Heath]

Sorry. Me and The Unknown Guru have made arrangements to play at some point over the weekend when he's online.

[Goldenboko]

It woulda helped to know that before :0

Oh well, I think this will work better with more then 1 game going at a time so there are less breaks in the action anyway.

[Vivisteiner]

I just PMd Laddy. :D

But do we have to play on Yahoo. Could we play somewhere else, because Id rather not sign up on Yahoo. (I will sign up if I have to though.)

If you can find a better spot we can play, then good on ya. Yahoo is the best I've got for now though.

[Laddy]

We can't play each other!

[Vivisteiner]

I first tried a crap site, but now I think Ive found a good one.

Play Online Chess on GameKnot! (http://gameknot.com/)


It seems simple. I'll give you some feedback soon enough.

[Laddy]

Alright-O! Time for the Chess Match Of The Ages!

[Aerith's Knight]

simple is good

[Vivisteiner]

^Exactly. The first one I tried seemed way too complex.


Anyway, Im gonna slaughter Laddy. :D

[Goldenboko]

This site seems good.
You guys give it a test run during your match.

[Vivisteiner]

MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!! I trashed poor Laddy in a matter of minutes.


Now he's calling me a meanie. :(

But yeah, that site is good I think.

[Laddy]

After a large taunting battle, Laddy was victorious!


...I wish

Anyway, Vivisteiner played well, I played "well" too.

Good match.

[Vivisteiner]

Want a rematch? :D

I wanna play someone!!!

[Goldenboko]

1. ViviStiener_______________1

Vivi will play the winner of The Unknown Guru and Heath.

[Laddy]

Ooh, rematch, baby!

[Vincent, Thunder God]

I'd like to play against Boko, or anyone else who wants to play me - just one question to whoever decides to play me, what's your yahoo username?

[Vivisteiner]

Is this thing still happening?

[Laddy]

I hope so.

[Psychokitty]

I want to play chess!!!!! I love chess, but I don't own a chessboard, and I do have a yahoo account, and it is my current email account and I never log out, so I could play!!!

[Heath]

Vivi will play the winner of The Unknown Guru and Heath.

You may want to just flip a coin or call it a draw between me and Guru because, to be honest, I really don't see us playing any time soon if past attempts are anything to go off.

[Goldenboko]

Well I was waiting for the winner Between The Unknown Guru and Heath, but seeing as that didn't work out, I dun know what I'm gonna do with you guys.

Instead of doing this whole one match at a time here is my new idea. We just play random matches with random people, have some fun, and use this thread as a place to organize the matches, and post results.

Now, on where to play, I still say Yahoo is the best for quick matches, but if you can't play immediately with someone that other site is good, because it saves the game, and you can have like hours happen between moves xD

So, I'm gonna go ahead and organize a few matches.
GoBo Vs. VTG (I accept your challenge xD)
Vivi Vs. rubah
Psychokitty Vs... (Awaiting challenger)

I'll PM you all to let you know about this post, and you may now use the thread to organize the matches.

EDIT: Oh and VTG, I'll PM you my yahoo account.

[Vivisteiner]

Roobah black sheep, I haven't got Yahoooooo, so can you play me on this site please?

Play Online Chess on GameKnot! (http://gameknot.com/)


Say 'Yes Sir, yes Sir, three bags full' if you can.

[Psychokitty]

I'll play anyone. My yahoo account is
demonstriff@yahoo.com
. Anyone willing to play me at an untimed game? Because those suck.

[rubah]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to give it up without a fight xD i don't feel particuarly chessy atm, sorry:)

[Vivisteiner]

^Dont worry. I feel the power now.


Challengers?

(But only on that website)

[Spammerman]

is it too late to play? If not link31793@yahoo.com anyone up for it?

[Psychokitty]

I'll play ya Vivi.

[Vivisteiner]

^I challenged ya, psychokitty!

[Psychokitty]

How about now to play, Vivi? And what was the URL again?

[Vivisteiner]

Im Vivisteiner.


But I challenged someone already called Psychokitty on Gameknot.

[Psychokitty]

Gameknot? I haven't been there before, and I'm not the 1st Psychokitty, I've previously realised.

[Vivisteiner]

^Oh, then I challenged a random person.


Look on the previous page. I said Id only play people on Gameknot since I dont have Yahoo. The link is back there.

[Psychokitty]

Ok, I'll go get an account.


EDIT: Wow, I just realised that I had an account. I'm dman4life. I just challenged you.

[Vivisteiner]

I accepted! Let the games commence!

[Vivisteiner]

Methinks me opponent has forgotten our match

[Martyr]

Hmm...

I don't know if I want to reveal my yahoo email account for a chess game.

I can play chess against any skill level there easy enough.
