Apparently I cannot spell.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Sunday, 13 March 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, 'Tiefschwarz'. Teaches me to pick stupid names to impress girls.

Ken pick a username!

Ken has the beating of me, I think!

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

you'd think i'd be ok at chess: i am useless

or maybe you'd think i'd be useless: well i am

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

i'm useless too, but it's fun. greg is KICKING MY ASS.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Anyone who wants to kick my ass, I am "casuistry".

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 01:17 (twenty years ago)

greg got red hot pwn3d! anyone else want a game?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 10:32 (twenty years ago)

both Greg and Julia appear to be bashing my bishop - as well as all the other pieces

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 10:34 (twenty years ago)

also charltonlido it's been your move for some time now...

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 10:39 (twenty years ago)

haha did we challenge each other at the same time steve???

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 10:41 (twenty years ago)

I'm not very good at chess, but I've signed up anyway. Username is treefell

I've just signed up: pawnimo

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 13:19 (twenty years ago)

Someone challenge me too! I'm "starryschessclub"!

I am too ashamed of my poor chess skills to join in.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:49 (twenty years ago)

someone explain to me how this works...

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:51 (twenty years ago)

the horsey moves two along and one across, the dirty vicar moves diagonally, freddy mercury goes as far as and to whatever direction he damn well pleases, whereas elvis is so fat he can only move one square at a time. castles, on the other hand despite being inanimate objects, can move in straight lines, the pwns move forward and then get killed, hence the name

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 00:06 (twenty years ago)

i was really disappointed that there was no freddy mercury piece....

― Dr. Eldon Tyrell (ex machina), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

i'm being pole-axed

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:14 (twenty years ago)

I am so fucking LAME at Scrabble! Ken has me IN A VICE!!

VICE I TELL YOU!!!

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:49 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, chess, I mean! I'm not used to playing a new game!

(Anyone fancy an ISC date at lunchtime? SOWPODS, 13 mins void?)

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:49 (twenty years ago)

this is a really good interface. all it needs is a duel-style face-slap animation to pop up when you challenge someone.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:55 (twenty years ago)

God. I am blushing at my desk about how awful I am at chess. I might go to Chess and Bridge at lunchtime to pick up a beginners guide to NOT BEING BLUDDY AWFUL at chess. Aw maaan.

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 10:56 (twenty years ago)

i am now making it worse, yaaaaaay

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:04 (twenty years ago)

oh my god i cant believe i entered this. i was drunk last night. i am appalling at chess!

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:15 (twenty years ago)

excellent

*bangs head against desk*

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:33 (twenty years ago)

I want a rematch with ken!

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

i challenged you yesterday for it and you didn't reply.. i think i'm full at the moment (but the game with starry will be over soon i think ;))

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

Oh sod off you geek!!

*flounces back to Scrabble*

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

can't they combine Scrabble and Chess somehow?

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

triple check score!!

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:48 (twenty years ago)

I have played the Jamaican chess champion, and received a total pWning(he's a busker in the city streets of Melbourne) It rocks out, I desire a chess clock.

― Nellie (nellskies), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:52 (twenty years ago)

i'm on the ropes against both greg and ken now - thrilling stuff

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:02 (twenty years ago)

I am enjoying this.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

I don't get it, can't the castle take the queen here to avoid the resignation?

chess game analysis is abt as dorky as it gets (edit: well, there is go game analysis...)

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 13:34 (twenty years ago)

castle takes queen, horsey to F7 checkmate

The chezz.com iPhone app doesn’t let you make conditional moves. Sad

Should I switch to lichess for this reason

― calstars, Sunday, 20 October 2024 18:26 (ten months ago)

My opponent has the chess equivalent name of a serial killer but nbd right

― calstars, Saturday, 26 October 2024 18:23 (ten months ago)

I tried lic for a minute but there were too many options I guess. I couldn’t get with it. Started a couple games by accident and left them hanging

Beating someone in 4 moves achievement unlocked

Who we got? Gukky or Ding Ding?

― H.P, Saturday, 23 November 2024 23:32 (nine months ago)

dings been so bad has talked about how hes in a tough spot mentally hard to see him winning

― lag∞n, Saturday, 23 November 2024 23:38 (nine months ago)

gukesh has on the other hand been on an absolute tear

― lag∞n, Saturday, 23 November 2024 23:38 (nine months ago)

Yeah, would love to see an upset just for the entertainment factor. I do believe in the unquantifiable power or Rapport and think he could be the factor Ding needs to make this a real sparring match....

― H.P, Saturday, 23 November 2024 23:42 (nine months ago)

Who do we watch for match analysis? I'm still stuck on agadmators charm but looking to maybe shake it up a bit.

― H.P, Saturday, 23 November 2024 23:43 (nine months ago)

i like chessnetwork (jerry) he prob wont do all the games tho

― lag∞n, Saturday, 23 November 2024 23:46 (nine months ago)

interesting game 1 so far

second game has begun intriguingly

― imago, Tuesday, 26 November 2024 09:26 (nine months ago)

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from regretting moves I’ve made while at the bar, it’s that I should never play chess at the bar

I have a friend who makes the strangest left field moves, love it

― calstars, Saturday, 30 November 2024 22:51 (nine months ago)

ding so frustrating. finding good positions then converting his advantages into draws

― secretary of state for fractal pluripotencies (||||||||), Sunday, 1 December 2024 12:37 (nine months ago)

Both these players kind of frustrating. World #5 duking it out with the world #22 and so far giving us battles with little romance.

― H.P, Sunday, 1 December 2024 12:42 (nine months ago)

Sorry to be a hater. Who knows, this endgame could still lead to something exciting, however unlikely

― H.P, Sunday, 1 December 2024 12:45 (nine months ago)

This game is absolute madness

anyone been watching the take take take youtube chess channel ? they’re endearingly ragtag, though they’ve clearly got some backing money behind them. for today’s world blitz final they’ve got a live in-studio soundtrack from a couple of norwegian beardy space disco types
