jocstrap 8 Posted February 15, 2012 I think I have 9 or 10 games going now! I hope to win 2 of them. I've been getting my ass kicked by players online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, you will quickly find there is a big difference between knowing how to play chess, and "playing chess." Many of the people on that site do tactical exercises everyday, memorize openings, and practice endgames and whatnot. The first time I went to chess club here in town, I thought I was pretty good. I had been playing since I was a kid, and rarely lost to my friends. I got spanked for months before I ever won a game there. Its one of those games that is 15 minutes to learn, a lifetime to master.

I just logged in. I don't see me on the list of ten for the tournament. You fill the spot? If so, that's fine. This is going to be a crazy week for me. .

Maybe if we do a team match vs. FBG you can play. Or challenge me, I'll whip your ass a few times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This. In H.S. I'd only lose to the exchange student from Europe. Then at a club it took me like 6-7 games to win... ..and it was 12 year old from our 'ghetto'... Also, I need to go to bed so my games will be left hanging for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted February 16, 2012 I'm surprised you like chess RP. It's such a liberal game. The object is to kill the elite (king). The queen, a woman, is the most powerful piece on the board. Pawn can be promoted to royalty. You probably play a lot of gambits, sacrificing the pawns for the good of the royalty. And rely heavily on the bishops for morality police. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 815 Posted February 16, 2012 I think GobbleDog is going to be the man to beat I'm losing to Edjr. My current rating (1600) is inflated due to playing a lot of low rated opponents. I consider myself about a 1450 player, which is slightly above average but prone to boneheaded mistakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Com'on man just take your time, I saw the way you pinned that other guys' Queen. It was beautiful. Take your time, take a few hours to make moves. I know it's fun when we go back and forth every 20 minutes or so but just be patient and think things over. I rushed my last move last nite in a 'friendly' vs. jocstrap and this morning I got an email saying our match was over. I was like WTF...? He woke me the fock up!!!

jocstrap 8 Posted February 16, 2012 I've been in a hospital room for 2 days. Wifey having surgery. All I've done is look at the laptop and lose chess games.

Recliner Pilot 61 Posted February 17, 2012 How do you execute a "castle" move. I've needed it in a few games and have not been able to figure it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,538 Posted February 17, 2012 How do you execute a "castle" move. I've needed it in a few games and have not been able to figure it out. Drag the king over either 2 or 3 towards the rook. you cannot castle if in check or through check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,538 Posted February 17, 2012 I tried that, I thought. I'll try it again. if you're doing it against me, you're safe. Just put the king where it is supposed to be after a castle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jocstrap 8 Posted February 17, 2012 How do you execute a "castle" move. I've needed it in a few games and have not been able to figure it out. I think you can only make it work to the nearest rook. Also, neither the king or the rook has moved yet. Move the king over to the spot open right beside the rook. The move will happen automatically Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
