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.

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

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....

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

― 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

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 ;))

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.

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...)

I think 200-300 swings maybe more common the lower the rating, definitely rarer when swinging that much within a the 4-digit rating range

the big swing guy was at like 1750 iirc
