i invented the name redhotpwn.com

― ken c (ken c), Sunday, 13 March 2005 17:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Apparently I cannot spell.

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

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

Ken pick a username!

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

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

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

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

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

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

someone explain to me how this works...

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

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

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

i'm being pole-axed

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

i am now making it worse, yaaaaaay

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

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

I want a rematch with ken!

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

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 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh sod off you geek!!

*flounces back to Scrabble*

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

can't they combine Scrabble and Chess somehow?

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

triple check score!!

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

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

I am enjoying this.

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

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 (nineteen years ago) link

castle takes queen, horsey to F7 checkmate

Should I switch to lichess for this reason

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

Who we got? Gukky or Ding Ding?

― H.P, Saturday, 23 November 2024 23:32 (one month ago) link

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 (one month ago) link

gukesh has on the other hand been on an absolute tear

― lag∞n, Saturday, 23 November 2024 23:38 (one month ago) link

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 (one month ago) link

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

second game has begun intriguingly

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

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

― secretary of state for fractal pluripotencies (||||||||), Sunday, 1 December 2024 12:37 (one month ago) link

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 (one month ago) link

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