Any Chess Players? - The Firearms Forum

bizy · 01-23-2010, 07:25 AM

Iwould like to play some online chess.. I'm not a pro but consider myself a fair player.. Is this site setup to play real time chess?

pawn · 01-23-2010, 08:39 AM

I enjoy chess very much. Haven't played consistently in a long time though....

red14 · 01-23-2010, 08:47 AM

I used to be pretty good, about a hundred years ago.

ampaterry · 01-23-2010, 03:45 PM

I do too -
But I am not much for on-line gaming.

I taught my wife -
She taught our kids -
When my daughter beat me, I figure I did a GREAT job of teaching -

LOL!!!

Can't get my son to play. He is probably way better than me, but thinks I'll beat him again. I wouldn't mind losing to him, I know I can get him back. A little competition is good for the old noggin.

Ill play you bizy. We can do it through PMs kinda like people used to do through the mail only faster. Maybe itll take a few days rather than a few months

I have my pewter chess set at the ready...

ARB · 01-23-2010, 04:12 PM

I love to play. I'm not great, but I enjoy learning from my mistakes.

Claude Clay · 01-23-2010, 04:36 PM

real good in high school--small pond
college, well...i never could get past thinking 8 moves in advance and gave up
turned to backgammon [ now on Pogo ibgruntled] & whist. oh, and shoots pool
tried to teach my daughter but found the time was better spent on learnin her guns
she started a marksmanship club on her campus and now she
has an internship at colts also. go figure.

JLA · 01-23-2010, 04:46 PM

heck, we could just play right here. Call out your moves and keep track on your own chessboard.

bizy · 01-24-2010, 05:53 AM

OK guys, how do we do this. Can we take pictures of the chess board and email them back and forth. I'm open to suggestions.. You can email me at bizy0ccd@yahoo.com

That is bizy(zero)ccd

Oneida Steve · 01-24-2010, 01:22 PM

1969. Nixon had just moved into the White House.

I gave up chess and I took up shooting.

Never looked back.

JLA · 01-24-2010, 02:00 PM

I figured we could all just set our own chessboards and choose an opponent, if your chessboard isnt already labeled for numerical and alphabetical co-ordinates heres a link to print one out (white towards you)http://chess.about.com/od/rulesofche...ardsetup_7.htm

Just set your board and PM or post your move to your opponent and keep track of the game on your own board. it really sounds fun. Im really looking forward to playing some good chess games with you guys

ninjatoth · 01-24-2010, 04:57 PM

I had a weird experience with chess.When I was 12 I learned it,and within like-a week I mastered it,and no one could beat me,I played my dad,my friends,my friends dad's,I just rocked at it and I have no idea why.I haven't played much since then so it's been 18 years.

Big ugly · 01-24-2010, 05:06 PM

I love playin chess. Mabbe we need to have a TFF chess night.

JLA · 01-24-2010, 05:42 PM

Now I wanna play the ninja... What say you... En guarde!

bizy · 01-25-2010, 04:06 AM

Maybe we can get the forum to set up a room just for chess....

JLA · 01-25-2010, 05:40 AM

Heck yeah! We could call it warrior chess or something cool like that. Bizy, check you e-mail

bizy · 01-25-2010, 05:56 AM

How does this look? We can also use a chessboard at home like someone already mentioned. This is the best I could do on the colors. We can use email or post it here. BUT, this place will have so many moves, what can we do about that? This thread could run in the hundreds per day, depending on how many games are being played.

bizy · 01-25-2010, 06:42 AM

OK.. I can get to the chatroom and make private rooms. So when you get ready, email me, post here or via chat. I check about every 5 minutes..

If it ever gets set up right, we can play each other in tourneys. Round robin, of course. I think it would be cool to be able to watch, too! What do ya'll think?

bizy · 01-25-2010, 09:26 AM

Ya, watching would be nice.. We can play in the chat room or in a private chat. I am really looking forward to it. We will have to set a time to meet because some people still work. I'm retired so I am open to suggestions. I am ready to play 5am to 5pm. I am going to try to pick up some cheap chess games today to use with this chat room chess..
